October 2013-Ava's 9th birthday

October Fall Break:
3 States
4 houses (5 for Brent)
2 hotel night
many miles

Our fall break plan was to go to Wisconsin to visit since we did not make it back over the summer. With the news of our move back to Indiana, Brent and I felt it was important to bring the kids to Indiana since it had been almost 2 years since we had been there. They were able to see alot of friends and see their new school-St. Maria Goretti.


Ava celebrated her ninth birthday at Nanee Sylvia's house with cupcakes and her favorite chili. We then made it to the Homecoming parade. We saw my dear cousin Katie on her sorority float. I met up with her and sister Alexander the next night.

Brent and Art took Ava and Quinn to their first Badger game. Quinn is now hooked on football.



Later we were able to meet up with Jeremy....


 Baker is talking to this monkey and singing him a great song. too cute



On our way back to Colorado we met the Huckaby's in Kansas City for two nights. This was a great treat. We miss our friends Chad, Debbie, Alexis and Austin.








Brent spent a day out in IL visiting his cousins. He made it to see Shane and spent a few hours there. Then went out to see Jason and Paula and their kids. This is Jason's dirt works business in action. Brent brought home t-shirts for the boys. They are so excited to go visit. 

Baker and all of his glory. He is at the storytime at the Grange with the Brooks kids. Leighton is in her SWAT team uniform. Baker has just told the moms in the back to be quiet because they are too loud. 

 Batman is in a sticky trap
 More Batman. He wore this mask from McDonalds for hours through our road trip.
Once we were home Ava had a birthday party with her friends from school.
