Yay for College Football......

Because it meant we got visitors this past weekend!!!! Ehren is a huge Iowa State fan (don't hold it against him, he really is a nice guy :) ), and IA State played Mizzou this past weekend....so Danielle, Ehren and thier dog Eddy came for the game!

Ehren and Nate went to the game Saturday while the girls hung out, went to the park, and maneuvered our way through downtown to pick up the guys. Danielle and I even got to go out Sat night after Faith went to sleep. We had such a great time catching up. Faith and Eddy got along great.....well, Eddy was very patient with Faith. She gave him LOTS of hugs, and just really seemed to enjoy his soft, long hair :) Thanks to Danielle, Ehren and Eddy for a wonderful visit!

Faith walking Eddy. She periodically dropped the leash, and Eddy being the sweet dog he is, just waited for her to pick it up again.Playing at the park!Big girl going down the slide.Danielle and Faith talking about life while walking Eddy.Eddy was a little bit afraid of the bridge over the lake, so Danielle had to give him a hand at first :)Faith giving Eddy another hug!The girls snuggling in the chair.

The guys :) Of course, I didn't get a picture of them on game day!

Love and Miss you Danielle :)

Lots of Attention from Grandma, Grandpa and Tucker!

Grandma, Grandpa and Tucker came to visit a few weeks ago, and we're just now getting up the pictures! Faith ate up all the attention she got, and we had a great time hanging out, shopping and eating ;) The guys even watched Faith for an afternoon so Mommy and Grandma could do some serious Christmas shopping :) Here are some pics of our weekend...

And again...Faith thought this was pretty cool.

Faith and Tucker. She was so excited to see Tucker...lots of high pitched squeeling and laughing....and she loved to chase him around.

We were also blessed to have Danielle, Ehren and Eddy visit us this past weekend....pictures to come :)

Patty Cake!

Faith has been loving patty cake! We were in the car the other day and I heard her start doing it on her own in the backseat. It was too funny. This video was taken last week...she's even better this week. She's actually saying alot of the words now. I feel like she's going through a language learning explosion. It's so fun to see. I'll try and get her doing it on video again sometime soon :)

Faith and Her Buddies

Faith is blessed to have lots of friends around here to play with :) Here are some pics of her recent time with friends.

Playing at Aaron's 3rd birthday party. She loved the play area!!! Lots of tunnels to crawl in. Aaron's big sister, Kendra, was so patient to help Faith through it all as Mommy and Daddy are a little too big :) Aaron with his hot wheels set from FaithAaron and Adrian showing thier BIG muscles!Adrian's muscles!Cali and her Mommy and Daddy came over to play and have dinner one night. Faith loved having her here. We were a little slow with dinner, so they needed some crackers to hold them over :) We had a wonderful afternoon at the park last Sunday as a family. It was a beautiful day. We promised Faith that we would get a hotdog after the park, so we went to Sonic just for some hotdogs. Can you believe she ate a whole foot long hotdog?!
