Happy Birthday Bridgette and Meredith

My nieces Bridgette and Meredith have birthdays about a month apart so they usually celebrate them together. This year they decided to have their party at Classic skating. They had the skating ring and bouncy toys all reserved. Grandpa Joe (Libby's great grandpa) came in from out of town just in time for the party. We had a great time!

Learning to eat!

Libby is getting so big... at 7 months she will eat just about anything you put in front of her!

Jess, Mikayla and Callie come to visiti

My two closest friends from nursing school came out to visit in October. Mikayla has a little girl named Callie who is 10 weeks younger than Libby. Jess loves to be an auntie to both girls. We had a blast hanging out, shopping, and taking cute pictures in the park! Libby and I wished we lived closer together so we could spend more time together.

The Girls!

Libby's first Jazz game... well...scrimage

Before the Jazz season starts they always have a free scrimage and introduce everyone to all the new players. We went last year when I was pregnant with Libby and had SO much fun so we had to do it again. Uncle Joey got us great seats on the second row! Libby and I only got to stay for half the game but it was great and we'll go again next year for sure!

Visitors

My dad's cousin Vince, who also happens to be my Godfather came to visit with his wife Kathy. We rented some 4 wheelers and went up in the mountains somewhere and had a blast! I rode with Vince most of the day. Joey thought it would be funny to pass us and drive through a huge puddle, soaking us. It was freezing and that just made it even more so. We had so much fun but by the end of the day we were all beat! Vince and Kathy made us a great dinner and we played our favorite card game, Shanghi.

Uncle Joey

Libby is so lucky to have her Uncle Joey live with us. They have so much fun playing and being silly. Joey's middle name is Liberty so that is who she is named after. We love having Joey around to keep Libby entertained with his craziness. He makes sure she watches every Bengals game decked out in all her gear!

Recruiting Banquet

Every fall the National Guard sends all the recruiters and their wives to an awards banquet. This year they sent us to Midway (by Park City) and put us up at the Zermatt. It was so beautiful. Lucky for me the banquet usually falls right around my birthday. Being up in the mountains in the fall is my favorite! Dan got his award for achieving 100% of mission!
