Thank you Santa. :)

Sleigh Ride

Alpenrose Storybook Lane was amazing! We will be back next year.

The trip inspired Nolan to leave a nest of Kleenex in our tree as a 'gift' for Santa.\He is so sweet and thoughtful.  I can't wait to see what I get!

Iowa Fun - Oct 2012

Iris Inez and her Great-grandma Inez together at last.

Visiting with Grandpa Ky.

 Iris was saying hi to her Great Papa and giving him lots of pats and tugs to his shirt while Nolan was whispering to me that Grandpa Ky was talking to him. I will never forget this special moment.

Nolan loved helping Grandpa Rick with the yard work. 

Cousins!!! Nolan's favorite word of the month. 

Tractor ride w/ Uncle Keary!

Our little country girl.
