GO HAWKS N STATE

On Saturday Kyle, Kim and I went to Lincoln for the Husker-Cyclone game. For anyone that knows me-- I am NOT a husker fan- I always root against them. So I was very excited that Iowa State pulled it off.

We got home and Austin got to show off his Iowa gear. He got to stay up and watch some of the game, but was not happy when it was time to go to bed.

Weekend at the Farm

Packed up and went to Iowa for the weekend. Austin is such a great traveler now (granted its only 2 hours). Spent some time in Ida Grove with friends and family. Sunday we headed to the farm-- I'm really hoping Austin will grow up appreciating the outdoors and will enjoy spending time with Grandpa Jerry "working" on the farm. We let him sit in the tractor and 'attempt' to steer and honk the horn. It was too wet in the field to go for a ride in the combine- but we did get a couple pictures. Austin loves being outside- he gets the 'zoned out' look on his face and just takes everything in. Hoping that next time he will get to go for a ride.

Halloween Gift

We gave Austin his Halloween present last night.. Little silly halloween things in the traditional pumpkin bucket. And he was soo scared of the bucket for some reason… As you can tell by his face!!! And I was giggling-- which made him even more upset :( I think some of it was for show-- wonder where he gets that little attitude (maybe daddy!!)
After a while-- he actually picked up some of his gifts, and started playing with them.

Birthday Girl

We had a nice evening at Kevin and Karmens house for Ericas 10th Birthday. I cant believe how fast she is growing up- makes me think that Austin will be 10 before we know it. Austin showed off his new skill- crawling!! When it was time for the cake he was fascinated by the candles and tried grabbing for the cake. I hope he has the same reaction on his first birthday.
