LV class reunion

LV Class of 2001...can you spot me!??

La Vernia class of 2001 just had our 10 year class reunion this past weekend!!! Holy cow, those 10 years sure did go by quick! I didn't get a ton of pics...I must have been too busy chattin' it up, pretty much just ended up with pics with my high school girlfriends! hehe!

with Griffin, Haley, Kim and Miss Rylee (haley's daughter)! check out that baby bump! sure did pop out quick this time! ...but I have to thank my baby bump and baby Ellis for me not having to get in shape for the reunion...ha!

With Natalie (due in December) Haley and Kim
they LOVE each other!
With Mistelle (who is due 3 days before us)and Kim
my cute man!
Lisa with Baby Claire and my little man tryin' to stake his claim early!!!
Kim, myself, Lauren and her little Abby, Melanie and her little Blake! pretty much all of my girlfriends were either prego or had little tiny babies!....don't drink the water! ha!
with Lisa
and Griffin petting Luna...he was SOOO excited and talked about her the whole ride home!
Still agree that the LV class of '01 was definitely the best!!! Lets go Bears, Lets GO!!! Reminding me of my HS cheer days! ;)

23 months!!!

Wow...23 months....only a few more weeks and I can stop counting by months! ;)

LOVES his little people toys....and will play with the all day long

daddy teaches little dude all kinds of gross boy things.....but at least he says "bless you" every time i sneeze...so sweet!

tells me please, thank you! love him

he is so friendly...makes friends everywhere he goes, he just talks to everyone and tells them bye bye and waves as we are leaving!

i know i am a little biased...but he is the cutest little man ever!!

excited to be a big brother...when we ask him if he wants a brother or sister...he always says sister (i think it is because he can pronounce sister better, ha!) ....be careful what you wish for...because if he knew what he was saying....a brother might go over a little better for him!

tells us "come ere" with a little hand wave when he wants you to go with him!

he is so funny...my favorite...anytime you sneeze...or anyone he can hear sneezes, he tells them "bless you", he picked this one up on his own..i am convinced it is because of my good parenting...ha!

loves animals and will point all of them out to you

back to beaver!

wow!!! didn't realize how far behind I am until I spotted these pics!

Hurricane Irene spoiled our trip to South Carolina, so instead we decided to head down to Beaver Lake! It turned out to be such a nice trip...and I enjoyed spending time with just our little family!...and the few friends we ran into down there!

Q's catch...18 lb striper

the boys with Big Dog (fishing guide)
cute right!!
enjoying our little cruise on the lake

spent ALOT of time doing this...hanging out on the back of the boat with a little swimming!
dude loves to drive the boat...and HAS to have his hand on the throttle...well, a few times before Q could catch him, he floored it....yep...he thought it was AWESOME!!
my sweet boys....notice how I am never in any pics....I always seem to be the one behind the lens!

sweet caroline!

Griffin and Caroline are 2 of a kind! They have so much fun together, so Tracy and I thought it would be fun to take the kiddos (including little sis Annabelle) to the fountains.

cute man!
How funny are they!! You can tell who runs this relationship! Ha!

football

We met a huge group of friends at the K State game a couple of weeks ago....g had a blast!!!

Isn't he a doll....and in serious need of a haircut! ;)

Dude can dress....even with his matching Converse!

Q told me at the game that when he was in school, tailgating at the games, he never would have pictured himself playing football with his own little boy at the game all these years later! He is in love!

G was soooo excited to go see the game, he just kept yelling "football" over and over! love that boy!
"high" as griffin said...climbing all of those stairs proved to me I am not in as good of shape as I had thought I was!

...and baby makes 4!

Surprise!!! Griffin will be a big brother in March! We couldn't be more excited!!!! ...and getting harder each day to "hide" our little bundle of joy...I have quite the baby bump!

chapman couples scramble!

Met up with our friends, the Wellers, Beckmans, and Jackson's! We knew this would be a good time and we were right!!! Including the girls "sleepover" while the boys continued to play golf until close to 1am!

I was one proud wife when Q made the highest bid on a whiskey light/sign...he told me it is his contribution to decorating our house....the only problem is that now he wants to mount one of the his striper fish that he has been catching at beaver lake to go with it....I am keeping my fingers crossed that he hasn't caught that "trophy" fish yet!!!

Our little studmuffins!

Krista...have to add...... You may have had the best shots of the day....but my favorite part were the horsey rides!!! Ha!!!

visit from Nana!!!

Nana came to visit Griffin! We had the best time!!! She LOVES taking care of her griffin and mommy loves it too! ....and g loves all of the treats and surprises she always brings for him!!! Love you Nana!!!!

Here they were having a "picnic"!!

showerin' the babies!!!

we have a little group of girls that get together to "play" about once a week...and we bring the kids along too...so nice to have some girl time! so we thought it would be so fun to throw a little surprise shower for liz and krista!...still not convinced they were completely surprised...but we still had a great time!

all of the girls are amazing, and gave the new babies the cutest handmade goodies!!!...here is g helping me make mine!
here is what g and i made for little parker...he is gonna be such a stud
and for miss violet....still waiting to find out her name, but violet will do for now!...maybe it will stick! aren't these shoes A-DOR-ABLE!!! and she now has a cute little outfit/tutu skirt and hairbow to match
is this not the cutest cake?! and yummy too!
