Ashley's Baby Shower

My good friend Ashley Whitaker had a baby boy this fall - they named him Eli Anthony. Before his grand entrance, there was a baby shower! It was so much fun to see her and reconnect with friends from William McKinley Elementary days.

There were a few friends missing, but Abby Taylor, Lexie Walters, Megan (Callahan) Reyes, and Lauren (Vaughn) Kindt.

Family Visits

This fall, Isaac and Dominika and the kids moved to North Carolina so they took a detour on the way  from Utah to North Carolina and visited us in Indiana. We all went to my parents' ward where they blessed baby Elias. It was fun to be there for that and spend time with them the next few days. 

Jackson and Adelina had a fun time reconnecting and picking tomatoes from Grandpa's garden.

The weather was really nice so we took the dogs for a walk and played at the Schmitt playground.

Later in the week we went to Nalon's football game - they won! - and Jonah's soccer game - they also won!

This was the first time Alexander and Elias met - born about a week apart!

That weekend, Tessa was a bit overbooked so I came up to Fishers and took Campbell to her soccer game then went and picked Emerson up from her soccer game. It was a sports-filled week of aunt-ing!

Jackson's 6th Birthday

For Jackson's 6th birthday, he requested an American Ninja Warrior party. His mom and her family delivered! They built an obstacle course and the kids had a great time! 

We even had an appearance from the horses in the field behind the house!

He had family and friends from school and church come out to celebrate with him.

And to cap it all off - new wheels from Mamaw and Papaw!

Happy Birthday to this silly, smart, and sweet six year-old!
