Curtis Orchard

This past Friday we took Max to our local "pumpkin patch" and apple orchard to pick out some pumpkins and get some honeycrisp apples. They are the crispiest crunchiest apples I've ever had. Very yummy. Max got to run around and feed goats, ride in a red wagon, help mommy and daddy pick out pumpkins, and even had his first pony ride. He made it one time around and then decided that was enough. We were delighted at the discovery of this neat little country place just a hop and skip away. We still have alot to learn about our city.

This past weekend Stephen and I got to get away for some husband and wife time. Thanks so much to Grama Peters for driving all the way from Nebraska to watch our precious Max and to get some time with the "big boys" Ed & Will too. We headed south and west to beautiful Lake Shelbyville, about an hour and a half from here. We relaxed in the great outdoors with perfect weather. We just enjoyed being able to do "nothing" with our biggest decision being whether to grill bbque chicken tonight or the hamburgers. Enjoy the pics!

Weekend in Wichita

Welcome to our blog.  I finally had some time(and assistance) on actually getting some pictures posted. This past weekend we had the wonderful opportunity of visiting our family in Wichita, KS.  We got to see our precious new nephew, Wilder, for the first time and he is such an angel.  My sister Mindy and her hubby Shawn are incredible people.  We so loved being at their home.  My parents and sissy, Erin came up for one night too.  We had so much fun.  Stroller ride/walk to the park, taco salad, photo shoots, and lots and lots of gabbing.  We just enjoy and relax being together in each others company. These moments in time are so priceless to me and they are what help keep me going.  I thank God every day for my wonderful family.  I love you all!!

How do you work this thing!?

So, I was so excited to finally have a blog. As you have probably noticed, not a whole lot is going on. I am still trying to find the time to "blog" and to figure out how to work the thing. Not even for sure if this little bit will get posted. To those of you who have checked it I have not forgotten about it. :)
