big girl walkin'!

oma wanted to see a video of jayden walking, so here it is... she's been walking for about a month now... what a big girl! i'll get a better video when i get a chance. ;)

potato pickin'!

jacob and i had the chance to go to this year's annual fall harvest festival at the farm and ranch museum and harvest some potatos. what a wonderful time! it was a lot of hard work at first until the little "tractor" came and tilled the rows for us. ;) i love that man! then the hard work was carrying them back to the van, but about half way back a nice man with horse and buggy, who was giving rides, stopped and gave us a ride the rest of the way back. thankfully, becuase as soon as i got the bags out of the back of his buggy, the entire side and handle ripped off of my reuseable shopping bag... guess they were too heavy. :) i had to get a picture of the horses, so jacob told them to say cheese. ;)

weekend get-a-way

jason and i were able to get away this last weekend and have a weekend to ourselves. what an amazing time! just my hubby and me! i am blessed! we had a wonderful time at the husker football game and then we were able to go down the niobrara river on canoe. we truely enjoyed ourselves. the scenery was beautiful and the drive together was great! we had fun, spent too much money & enjoyed eachother and that's what counts most! at the end of the husker game the team always gets down on one knee and prays... awesome! we also saw an elk ranch with some HUGE elk.

this weekend

we had a GREAT family day this weekend! we haven't had much time to just relax as a family lately, so this weekend, jason had to do a little bit of work in torrington, wy. so he brought us all along and we made a day out of it. jacob was ablr to help daddy with the safe deposit lock and he had a great time. he brought his own tool box and everything.

then we did a little fun family shopping and then we went to lunch. we went to burger king... our nearest one... 45 minutes away from our house. ;( but we had great fun! jacob LOVED the play area. we don't do that kind of thing very often, so he was just in his hay day. after that we went vehicle shopping for a new van and the local ford dealership was having an espn game day party. we really enjoyed that too. jacob played in the bounce house and did the workout thing and tossed the football a bit, got his hand painted, and then we found a van... yipee!
