#roadtrip Home with Grant

Grant has finished his service in the Marines and is coming home! I flew out to him to ride home and have some fun along the way.

We drove to Page, AZ on Tuesday night. This morning we toured Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and traveled to Moab, UT.

New Clothes, New Smiles

Noah got some new clothes but we needed him to try them on first. He enjoyed it :)

Thanksgiving with Cousin Mary

We got to see my sister's family for the first time since they moved to KS earlier this summer. The three grandkids got to play together for the first time.

Decorating for Christmas

A week late with this, but we had our decorations up last weekend. It was nice to relax and recover from traveling for Thanksgiving this weekend.

Carissa had one major request. That she would get to put the star on.

Weekend in Licking

At the end of October, we spent a day in Licking with Christina's family. We visited a local pumpkin patch and had our own bonfire that night.

Mimi just wanted a picture with all the kids. They weren't interested at first.

Jaxin finally joined us but Carissa still had some attitude/humor to share.

Carissa's School Field Trip

Carissa's preschool class went to the Bray Conservation Area last month. She had such a good time we had to go back the next week to explore some more.

Again, the pose...

Halloween

We had a great time with some friends on Halloween. For the first time we actually went to a neighborhood and walked door to door instead of heading downtown to businesses. Supergirl and Superman had a blast.

I don't know where she learned to pose like this...

Noah's 6 Months Old

Noah turned 6 months old on November 8. It's amazing how much he changes in that amount of time. I feel like the same person I was two years ago!
