Abbigayle had her first music concert. She looked so cute! She also has a big 'ol crush on her friend, Caela's , older brother Carson. She wanted me to take her picture with him! TOO CUTE! Pictures: Carson, Abbey, and Caela, Abbey singing, Abbey with her good friend, Lexi, and mom and Abbey before the concert. Abbey was very excited and very nervous.

Disney on Ice

We went to Disney on Ice with my friend Kelly and her little girl, Molly. It was a girls only trip and the little girls kept saying , "NO BOYS ALLOWED!" We had a great time--it was a fantastic show! Then we went out to eat and all the girls fell asleep on the way home. It was such a peaceful, quiet trip--very unusual for our car rides!

Grandpa Neil gets 4-H award from Grandson

Grandpa Neil was nominated by Christian to be honored at the 4-H awards banquet in Cherokee. Christian wrote a really great letter that even caused the lady that helped to present it to tear up. Grandpa had a few tears too. It was a really great surprise and my dad sure deserved it!

Emma turns 7!

Emma turned 7 and had a party at the wellness center. Loren and Terri (her godparents in Wichita) sent a big giga ball. It is a huge ball that the kids can get inside and other kids can roll them around. It was a hit at the party.

Chris gets a buck with his bow!

Chris shot a buck with his bow this weekend. He was pretty excited. The kids really loved seeing it too.

Grace turns 2! Halloween with the Letsches

The first two are pictures of Grace's birthday party. Karen lives in Britt which is a 2 hour drive, so we went to see them for the day for her birthday. The last picture is a picture of our friends Tom and Amy Letsche. The kids and I always spend Halloween with them every year. We eat supper and go trick or treating. They have twin girls age 4 Heidi and Julia.

Omaha Zoo with granny and grandpa!

We had a fun weekend in Omaha with Grandpa and Granny Gabrielson. We met old friends Heather Young and her kids there and met up with her brother Jason for supper at Spaghetti works. Grandpa won this trip at my fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis. Every year I help plan this fundraiser to raise money for a cure for CF. My good friend Michelle died of this disease when she was 19. Emma Michelle is named after my friend Michelle. This year we raised $24,000--I appreciate my parents and sisters coming to help with the fundraiser (and Brad and Trish when they have helped too). Next year it is the first weekend in August, so come if you can. It's a great cause! Pictures: Zoo picture, Halloween picture (I messed up and got this picture in the wrong posting: the kids were:Joel, warewolf, Emma-Jasmine from Aladdin, Malorie -a safari guide, Maggie-a cowgirl, Abbigayle- a princess---I went as a triathlete (ha! )Taylor and Christian didn't go trick or treating this year ) Grandpa and Granny with the grandkids at the zoo.
