Happy Thanksgiving








For Thanksgiving the four of us went to my grandma's house and had lunch. Emma absolutely loves going to "gigi's" house so gram had her work cut out for her. We had a delicious lunch and pumpkin pie for dessert. Afterwards, we headed to Villisca. We went up to Julie and Adam's for dinner and the girls played and played. I worked all day on Friday on a wedding and than Zack and I headed to Seward, Ne for a wedding (which was cut short due to my migraine). Anyways, it's been a long weeked and now we will be busy getting ready for Christmas. Bad news is that we aren't moving into a new house as planned this week..... long story, but quite a disappointment.

Gracie is rolling over now!!


























I haven't posted anything for awhile so I figured I would put an update on her. The girls are still growing and changing every day. Gracie rolled over about a week ago and now she is unstoppable. I will put a video on her as soon as I can figure that one out. Emma has been busy working on counting to 15. She has 1-12 down pat than it gets a little tricky. She begs Zack and I everyday to go back to Chuck E. Cheese's so we are planning another trip there probably sometime after we move. Speaking of moving...it's taking longer than we planned but hopefully by the 5th of December we should be half way settled in and ready for visitors.

Veteran's Day













Well Zack had the day off today so we decided to do some fun things as a family. First we went and checked out our new townhouse which is coming along pretty quick. They have the cupboards in the kitchen finally up and alot of the woodwork done. There is still alot to be done but they go pretty quick. Looks like we should be closing at the very end of November or the first week of December. We're getting pretty excited. ~ So today we did that first... than we headed to Home Depot as Zack got a 10% discount today so we got paint and some supplies for Emma's room only...we have ALOT of deciding to do with the rest of the house. Next we came home for a quick break than headed to Chuck E. Cheeses. These are the pictures from there. Emma had an absolute blast beings she had never been there before. She hit the jackpot on the 3rd game to played and won 150 tickets (hence the picture you see with her holding the tickets.) I wanted to do something fun and creative for Veteran's Day for Zack so I had the pizza guy spell out Hero (as you can see in the picture of the pizza) on the pizza. Thought that it was a cute thing to do. We stayed for almost 2 hours than headed home for naps. I went the gym and zack stayed home with the sleeping girls (and I think he slept himself as well). Our friend Michelle came over to watch the girls at 4:30pm so Zack and I could go to Applesbees because he was able to get a free entree due to it being Veteran's Day. And Now... here I sit.. back at home... Emma and watching a short movie with Gracie and Daddy and than it's bedtime. LONG DAY... but one that was so much fun!!

~the three little girls~











Addison (my brother's little girl) came to play on Monday and what a time the girls did have. Addy loves Gracie and enjoys holding her. But I can't say that for myself and Addy.. for some reason she is really shy or whatever you would like to call it... I can't ever get her to smile for me. Anyways, Emma loves being able to play with Addy so I am thankful that they live only 2 hours away.
