We had a wonderful 2018 and we hope you did too!  2019, we are ready for you!!

Christmas 2018

This Christmas was the first time all 3 kids understood Christmas and were just beyond excited!!  All 3 kids went to bed early on the night of the 24th, knowing that the sooner they went to bed the sooner Santa can stop!  Landon woke up about 2 hours later and asked us "what time is it for?" ...I said "It's time for bed (as it was 11:30pm)" and he responded with "I already DID that!  It's time to open presents!!"  

Brian and I remember thinking Christmas was amazing when we were kids, but then you become parents and watch the excitement in your own children and that is even more amazing!  So blessed to have these three and all the craziness that comes with them!

We made brownies this year for Santa! :)

Landon's face cracks me up!!

I think the kids were up around 6:30 am on Christmas morning!  Ready to open!

While the boys are away, the girls will play!

Brian took the boys to an ISU wrestling meet, 

so Blythe and I made the rounds at some favorite stops...

Tropical Smoothie!

Panera for milk and cookies!

Blythe and I also drove around and admired Christmas lights, but none of those pictures turned out!

Clone cone for Graham!

No surprise that Landon chose popcorn!

Wrestling season is here!

We put Graham in two tournaments this year.  He seems to be enjoying this year even more than last year!  He is more aggressive and confident.  He even pinned a couple guys this year!

pep talk from Dad!

The supportive younger brother!  Goofy as ever!

Cheering squad!

Cheering squad for the Ankeny Tournament!

Wrestling is hard work! :)

Movie, ISU football, baby Henry

Blythe's first experience at the movie theater!  She was in awe :)

The movie was the new Grinch movie!

Landon took about 5 trips to the bathroom!

Another date night to an ISU football game!  Pulled out a win over Kansas State!

Graham and Henry!  Graham would like to hold Henry all day if Lin would let him!!
