this and that

Its been a while since I've posted but thats cause we have been busy!
We have been doing a lot of family things lately.
October 22 was a wedding of my cousin in Ames. It was a nice wedding and I got to see a lot of my cousins and uncles and aunts that I don't see a lot of. I got to see my cousin Jason and his wife Leslie and their new little twins. They are adorable!!!
Then Nov 5th was Pheasgiving with Mark's family. Pheasgiving is pheasant hunting and Thanksgiving rolled into one. Its a weekend long event and is usually a lot of fun and a great family time. We have gone almost every year that it has been going. Its awesome to see how much the family grows each year. We have accepted many children as well as a family member that came from Norway last year. Hopefully Bente will be coming again next year! We added 4 babies this year, tho not all were there, along with all the other children that we love. The food is good and the bonding time is always a joy.
This weekend the kids and I are heading to Pella with my parents to go to my cousin, Mollie's wedding. After this I think most of my cousins are married off. I look forward to seeing more family and just hanging out!
I'm ready to settle down, but the holidays are right around the corner, so I don't know if that will happen, but after this weekend I will have a chance to breath.
