Mallory's 18th Birthday Weekend!

Today is Mallory's birthday!  Wow...  We had a fantastic time in Des Moines with family and friends!  All the girls completed the Turkey Trot in freezing temperatures-they have many stories to share about the experience!  Enjoyed an amazing Thanksgiving meal today at Jason & Lindzy's-I'm still full! 

Mal-Thanks for the privilege of being your parents!  You are now an official adult!  The journey has just begun sweet girl!  We are excited to see what God has in store for your life and enjoy the rest of your Senior Year!

Keith Urban/Little Big Town Concert!!

Andrea, Aunt Carol, and I had an awesome time at the concert!  So glad to have been able to spend the weekend with them celebrating Andrea's birthday!  Loved talking and eating good food too-Machine Shed baby!!  Need to do it again sometime!

Halloween!

Max and Makayla had fun dressing up as different versions of Iron Man this year!

Fall Musical

Madelyn and Mallory were in cast of the Fall Musical of Smokey Joe's Cafe.  Everyone did a great job!  It was very entertaining to watch!  We are very proud of them and all the hard work it took to pull it off!  Congrats!

Homecoming Week!

Everyone enjoyed homecoming week!  Lots of costumes and activities-it was one of those whirlwind weeks!  Go Rebels!

Another Harvest

Max once again loved the harvest season!  Whatever he does with his grandfathers, he then has to replicate at home.  This is his version of harvesting corn on his blanket-his favorite toy ever!  He also loved riding with his cousins, Tony and Tim, to be able to share his knowledge with them.  He even got his dad to help a little bit in his "spare time".

Last Family Gathering at the Anderson House

It was a bittersweet evening... Sharing food, fellowship, and memories at my grandparents home.  It has been sold, so all who could gathered one last time.  We also celebrated Grandma Annette's birthday together.  It was an emotional night!  I will never forget my Christmas sleepovers and my many suppers with my grandparents after piano lessons.  Such a sweet blessing they have been to me.  So glad the children and their spouses were able to all be there one last time. 

Fall Sports

It's been awhile since I blogged, so here we go... Catch-up time!
Makayla and Mallory completed their seasons of volleyball and cross country.  They both enjoyed their teammates and the season!
