Fall fun on the farm

We have already celebrated Thanksgiving with the Becker family.  We enjoyed a fun weekend with all the cousins joining in the fall harvest. 

Josiah, Charlie, Colton, Spencer, Avonell, Cate, Craig Alan

 

After the weekend was over, Cate and Charlie stayed with Grandma Jane and Papa while I worked in Nebraska.  Cate told me that she was going to ride in the combine "UNTIL MIDNIGHT" with Papa.  They both loved being with Papa in the combine, playing "famr" inside and Grandma Jane's movie nights.  

Night Eyes at the Zoo

We had lots of fun at the zoo with the Weeks family!

Charlie refused to put on his costume, but he still made a pretty cute "red man" 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Trick or Treat!

 

It looks like this mermaid has a crush on this fighter pilot!  Anthony (fighter pilot) and his sister Lauren took Cate to a Trunk or Treat at their school (where she will be going next year) to start off the Halloween fun.

NEIGHBORS: Kennedi, Cate, Anthony, Reagan

Riley, Lauren, Alex

It poured rain all day so we went and bought a pinata for all the kids.  Everyone had a blast!

Turned out that the rain stopped and it was a beautiful night to trick or treat.  Charlie wanted nothing to do with his costume (rocketship) the entire Halloween but these sweet neighbor boys convinced him to go with them for a little bit towards the end of the night.  He thought he was BIG stuff!

Happy Halloween!

 

What a fun week!  More pictures to come but wanted to post a few pumpkin photos! 

 (Cate picked this outfit out herself)

A day at the Omaha Zoo

Matt's company had their company outing and picnic today the Omaha Zoo!  The kids had a blast! 

Some of our favorite moments shared with Daddy were...

the polar bear...all the monkeys and gorillas...eating lunch with the sea lions...a real TRAIN...giraffes (always!)...awesome penguins...and lots of fish and sharks!

LOTS OF SMILES ALL DAY LONG!

Cate's first race!

I am not sure why I can't post vertical pictures tonight but wanted to post a couple posts from the Diva Dash.  Aunt Jodi, Mommy and Cate all ran!  Aunt Jodi had an AMAZING race and finished in WAY under 30 minutes getting 3rd in her age group!  Cate got 2nd in the Princess Dash and had lots of fun! 

Carter Trewet conquers Tournament of Champions!

 Congrats Carter!

 We were thrilled for Carter this weekend as he got to play in the Tournament of Champions in Atlantic representing Otter Creek Golf Course.  This has been a dream for Carter since he was a tiny little guy (and for his Dad too!)

 Here is his putt on the 18th green.  His 3 day score was 220.  This put him in the Top 25 which allows him to return to the tournament next year.  Woo hoo!

 This was an awesome shot onto #13.  Beautiful form here...

Total concentration...

All smiles with his caddy after the Sunday round!

 

A very special thanks to his host, Papa, for taking such good care of him all week! The BVR is almost as good as Butler Cabin.

All the aunts/uncles (Lauri, Mike, Mark) watched him tear up the course on Saturday which was a huge support to him.  It was VERY SPECIAL to have them all there.  They were a wonderful motivation...we really appreciate you coming to watch. Mark your calendars for next year! XOXO
