Girls Night Out

The gals (Kate Fischer, Steph Dingel, & Kim Culham) Wednesday night got a chance to all get together this past week for a girls night out. With us back home and the grandparents and husbands babysitting we decided we needed a chance to catch up on old times. We ate at Buffalo Wild Wings in Mason City and got the chance to recount lots of old high school memories which was fun. After eating and a few drinks we stopped off at a few local bars which were booming with business (actually the opposite, pretty dead the night before Thanksgiving). It was great though getting the chance to get together, especially since we don't get the chance very often. We always pick up right where we left off though. It is pretty amazing to still have friends you have had since preschool! Love you guys!!

Happy Thanksgiving

We just got back to Polk City today and it is sure nice to get back home. You don't realize how much you miss things until you are away for awhile, especially your own bed. We were back in Rockford from Wed. to today which was nice to stay awhile and not feel like you have to pack up to leave just as soon as you unpacked. Thanksgiving day we celebrated a little later in the day so Tony could get off work so we ate at 3pm and it was well worth the wait!

Lots of giggles with Adrian and Aunt Jamie before the meal.

Aunt Jamie and Uncle Mark also made it back for a few days and brought puppy Trice along. Adrian really enjoyed watching him however she wants to sit on our lap, because of Trices doggy kisses :)

Someone is tired!


MMM...look at the feast. This was Adrian's first try of turkey and dressing, which she loved it all.

Is that the bird...gobble, gobble!

Thanks Grandpa & Grandma Harden for the great Thanksgiving meal. Adrian got lots of cuddle time, bath time, and play time with you and she really enjoys it. Thanks!

Happy Little Butterfly!

So, ok I am a little late on this post. Halloween was 13 days ago, but it has been busy with work and Adrian being sick last week. Polk City had their trick or treating on the 31st from 6-8pm so we got Adrian dressed up to take her to the neighbors and then come back and help hand out candy at the house. One neighbor was so impressed with Adrian's cuteness we were invited in and they took a few snapshots of the little insect.

Butterfly ready for take off!

As cute as the little hood was Adrian had a heck of a time with it covering her eyes and getting in the way, so I had troubles getting pics with her eyes open.

Butterfly Down!

Mommy and Adrian before Trick or Treating. Since Adrian wasn't going to get any candy unfortunately mommy had to eat it:) Mommy and Daddy even got a mini can of pop each from one of the neighbors!

Adrian didn't want to let go of her 2 leaves she found.

Oh, about Adrian being sick...no it wasn't H1N1 we took her to the doctor on Tues. of last week and even though that was her 3rd day of being sick the doctor said it was a virus. She had a fever, cough, and really runny nose. Adrian didn't start feeling better until last Friday and she still has coughing episodes at night, but it is getting better.
