Best Buddies!

Landon's best buddy right now is Sid. He lives two house down for us. It's so funny because they have hilarious conversation when they are together. We have truly been blessed by the Sid's family. We are so lucky to have a Christian family living so close to us!! The boys currently are obsessed with Power Rangers! They usually have some sort of debate over who gets to be Kevin, the blue power ranger. It's funny to watch them play and see their communication skills. Landon is definitely thankful for Sid and made sure to tell us that every time we asked him what he was thankful for.

My Hot Husband!

Since Ryan lost his job our life has been busy!! It's funny that you can become more busy when you aren't working than you were before. One of his big projects that he finally completed in October was our basement bathroom. Adam and Allie moved in to our basement in June and he has been working on the bathroom since then. He had never done any home improvement projects other than painting and hanging pictures, so this was a huge task for him. I am so proud of the job he did! Here's a few pictures of the tile shower!! We love it!

Running!

I had a few opportunities to be involved in races this year. I completed the dam to dam, The Color Run, and The Des Moines Half Marathon. I really enjoy running, but my favorite part is the training with people I love. I truly miss them when we are done training because we don't have those long runs to catch up on life. Here are a couple photos!

Zombies!!!

We have been so blessed that Steve and Jen moved back to Iowa. The interesting thing is that Steve always finds interesting ways to put people to work. He put Ryan in charge of announcement videos while he was preaching in September. His series was on "The Walking Dead." Here's just one picture that gives you a taste of what was happening during those videos!

Fisher's Birthday Party!

So I am really far behind...Fisher's party was in September!! It has been wonderful having Julie and Scotty back in Des Moines! One of the advantages are events like this one. I am always amazed as I am not a creative person and all the creative little things Julie comes up with. It was greater getting to celebrate with them as their little one turned one!!
