November


We'll just call this party month. 

The beginning of the month we headed to Holstein to celebrate Steve and Mariam's marriage, Iowa style.





Lots of grilling and then eating, drinking, laughing, gravel traveling, family heritage showing, partying, dancing and some shooting. Wow-what a time. Uncle Scott had the shooting activities all set up for us. 






We took aim at some clay pigeons and also the target with a handgun. Was my first time even holding a gun!
Got all our country fun in on the 4-wheeler and tractors.









Not sure Quinn spent any time this month just being Quinn. Lots of time being "super guy secret agent" or a fireman.




I think that Clay grew 5 inches in November, starting to look so much like a little boy instead of a baby.

He also learned out how to work the camera for a self portrait 

And played in the 1st snow.

I worked.

We celebrated Thanksgiving at the Thorson's.




Jack and Quinn recreated the 1st Thanksgiving. And the cops were even invited, as Jack said to break up the fighting...

The boys had a great time having Grandma and Grandpa all to themselves 






while Scott and I went and partied it up with Katie and Ronnie! 




So, so much fun.
( I stole some of these pics from facebook-so thanks to those of you who I stole from!)
