What the hell..I only have 68% Iowa in me. That is crazy since I have lived here my whole life....

Let me know if you take it and what your score is. Maybe I won't feel so bad

What is that??

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Libby was pretty good for her first Thanksgiving. She fell asleep right before we were going to eat. Then she woke up in time to join us at the table but didn't really show much interest in eating. She just wanted to be held. Libby sat on Mimi's lap and watched us all eat. She ate some turkey and about 2 bites of mashed potatoes later in the afternoon. Soon after she was sleeping again. Libby sure has been sleeping a lot these days. I am sure it is because we have all been sick at our house this week. Hopefully we will all be well again after a little rest this weekend.

My blue eyed girl...

Papa Ben had to go home. He was here for almost 3 weeks. Well he was in Sioux City off and on for three weeks. Libby and I got used to him being around, helping around the house, and helping take care of Libby since Mike is gone all the time these days. We sure do miss Papa Ben. I am sure he will be back for an extended visit again soon.

Libby had a good time at Senior's (her other Papa) 60th Birthday Party on Saturday night. She danced with Aunt Jacque, visited with a few of her friends, and drank with Aunt Joyce (our girl sure loves water). She even stayed up until 9:30! Once again, she was a perfect angel all night. BUT I forgot the camera so I didn't get any photos of our girl at the party. Hopefully I will remember it for her first Thanksgiving this weekend!

Who are these cute kids??

My dad and Cande were in town this weekend. We hung out, ate and shopped-you know the usual when they visit. Libby was so GOOD the entire weekend. My dad and Cande watched Libby and Caleb on Friday. Then we ordered pizza and went swimming when I got off work. Libby had a good time at the pool. She just splashed and yelled. She keeps trying to stick her face in the water but doesn't understand the concept of holding her breath yet. I bet she is going to be a great swimmer. Saturday we went shopping and hung out at the hotel. We went out for dinner with my Uncle Mike, Aunt Rachael, and Jaelyn (my cousin Mikey's little girl). Here is a cute picture of the cousins, except Taylor was still swimming with Papa Ben so she missed the photo op. Grammy CC had to go home yesterday but Papa is still here to visit for a few more days.

one more picture from Halloween

Do Ladybugs sleep alot??

Libby had a good time at her first Trick or Treating experience. We went to a few houses in my sister's neighborhood then we stopped at Jeni and BA's. She was fine there but as soon as we got in the car she fell asleep. She slept the whole time we were at Stacy and Shelly's. Then we had to go visit Mimi (that is Mike's mom for those of you that don't know). Mimi had to wake her up to take pictures and give her Halloween presents. She played pretty good with Mimi, Uncle Nick and Aunt JJ for about an hour. As soon as we got in the car to go home Libby fell asleep again. I guess all the excitement and fresh air is hard on Ladybug.

And she's off......

Libby has finally learned how to crawl!! My dad is in town so we went to Quimby on Saturday to visit my Aunt Rachael, Uncle Mike and all the cousins. We made a stop in Cherokee to visit the grandparents then it was out to Uncle Mike's "ponderosa" for his birthday party. So needless to say she didn't get much "floor time", she was held and carried around most of the day. Libby was a VERY good girl all day. She didn't really mind all the strangers. She just smiled at everyday and acted shy.

On Sunday we spend most of our time at home. My dad, Kim, Matt and I took all the kids out for breakfast (at 1pm) and then went to the pumpkin patch (see picture below). Afterwards we all hung out at my house. Taylor loves to play Wii and Kim is still a pro at "Mike Tyson's Punchout". By the end of the afternoon Libby was crawling everywhere. I guess I am going to have to start baby proofing the house. Hopefully she will be walking by Christmas!!
