Eventful November update

We had a fun filled November. It started with going to see my brother in D.C. He was doing a training there for a couple of weeks, so we decided to pack up and go hang out and see the sites with him for the weekend. It was so fun and we had a blast.

Reflection pool and Washington Memorial. Grant hiding from the camera

Grant loved the Natural History Museum

Arlington
Playing in the hotel. My boys love "hiding places" in hotels. Whether it's cubboards, drawers, or closets they are all over it.

Lincoln Memorial. This is just a small part of what we saw. We went to tons of places and had so much fun.

THEN CAME OUR 11 1/2 hr. DRIVE TO MO
I was so worried about the drive. However, my boys were AMAZING!! You may think we drove there to see our soon to be home......Kansas city. Well, the real reason we went was because Jon and Matt had tickets to a DUKE game. So as a side note Matt and I left our boys with Jon and Lyns for a day and drove 2 more hours to Kansas City to check it out. Thank you Jon and Lyns. We had a blast.
It was so fun to hang out with family.

On our way out we stopped and took a break and saw the Arch in St. Louis, MO

At the top of the arch 630 ft.up

BONKERS IN COLUMBIA

We went to this fun place called BONKERS. The kids (including the adults) had so much fun climbing through this.

The kids kickin it. This is Grants thing....to hide his face whenever the camera is around. It drives me crazy, but hopefully it's a short stage. So if there are no picts of Grant...that's why.

THEN MY PARENTS AND SISTER CAME

We road the WV train

Had lots of fun playing. Papa pushing Ty

Nana and Ty

We played alot of Wii
COOPERS ROCK LOOKOUT
Coopers Rock park

My cute sister Karlee. So fun to see her.

Decorating our tree. I love that Matt was so excited to put it up even if it's only for a week before we have to take it down. The boys loved it. They had so much fun putting the ornaments on.

I love Christmas time. It has reminded me of how blessed I am. I am so grateful for everything that Jesus did for me. I love my boys. Every day I look at them and am so grateful for them. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to be surrounded by 3 amazing boys. And have the knowledge that I am a Child of God.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!
