Fire it Up!!!

We went to Fire it Up for our annual day after thanksgiving pottery making extravaganza. I kept Callie entertained by making footprints.

Thanksgiving 2008

Grammie Barb and Uncle Josh flew in for Thanksgiving. Grammie Barb and GrandAunt Jane did all the cooking while the rest of us watched football, movies and stuffed ourselves!

The Pound

Dad teaching Callie the "pound."

Traveling to Minnesota for the big rivalry...

We headed to Minnesota to cheer on the Hawkeyes at "Kinick North." The game was a blow out, but we enjoyed taunting Ben!

Happy Halloween

The Meyer's visit for the Wisconsin football weekend

Ted, Jackie and Ben came to visit for the weekend and brought their new puppy Gomez (king charles spaniel). Benelli was in love and they spent the entire weekend chasing around the house. The theme for the Iowa versus Wisconsin game was "bring back the stache." See photo for Justin's mustache - yuck! We went to "chop chop" for dinner (as Ben calls it) and that was where the saki bomb photo was taken. It was a great weekend and we can't wait for them to visit again!

Visit to Albion

We went to Albion, IA to visit Great Grandpa Max and Great Grandma Shirley. We spent the day cheering on the Hawkeyes, eating lunch and driving to visit Uncle Gary and Aunt Peg. Callie got to play with all of great grandma's toys and ate lunch in the highchair used for over 4 generations!
