I love Fall

So, I guess I need to get on here more often, as it's been more than a month since my last post.  I blame google, it keeps asking for a password and I can never remember this one. And our home computer blows.  Enough with the excuses!

My last post was the day before my 31st birthday, and it was a fun day. I had a half day at work, then spent the afternoon with Harper and Erich. We went to Hu Hot for lunch, then to the park for some play time. Then we went out for dinner and drinks with friends, and let's just say that I had a good time...and was very picture happy.  It was a good time, and I paid for it dearly the next day...

It's our Birthday! Buy us shots!

The following weekend I celebrated birthdays with the girls from college, and it was, again, a good time.  Luckily for everyone involved I forgot my camera, but don't worry, my phone takes pictures.  Phew.  It's always fun to get together with that group, especially since they all live in Omaha and it takes a birthday or football game or holiday to get us together. And now we're starting to have kids, so that throws another wrench into it.  Ahh well, we make it work when we need to I guess.

September was a big month for birthdays; aside from mine and numerous friends, my dad celebrated his on the 30th, and my Grandma was turning 90 in October (I'm ashamed to say I don't know the exact date!).  My uncle surprised her with a party on Oct. 1. Now, when I told people that we were throwing my Grandma a surprise party for her 90th birthday, I'll admit, I got some odd looks. But trust me, this woman is not your average Grandma, and she certainly doesn't act like she's 90.  She got a kick out of seeing everyone, especially the grandkids and great grandkids.  We need to do that more often!







We also visited a pumpkin patch (in Erich's parent's back lot) and Harper had fun trying to pick up pumpkins (actually I think she was more pissed off because they were too heavy for her).







Let's see, what else has happened...oh yeah, Harper attended her first tailgate!  She got to experience everything around Memorial Stadium, plus she tried Chances R fried chicken for the first time, and she loved it.  It was a warm evening, but overall she had fun.  And then the game started and she lost any interest she may have once had...I guess she's like me when it comes to football lol!







We also went to KC and saw the Foo Fighters for a combined anniversary/birthday present.  It was an amazing concert, I bet they played for at least 3.4-3 hours.  If you're the slightest fan, I recommend trying to catch them live.  Good stuff.  Then we hung out at my sister's the rest of the weekend, which was fun.  Harper had a good time playing with her cousins, and my sister finally got the overnight with Harper that she's been jonesing for. 










Based on the pictures I've uploaded you should be sufficiently caught up.  We have a busy rest of the month; football games, boo at the zoo, halloween and pumpkin patch time, and then we're hitting the holidays.  I am trying to make my own gifts this year, we'll see how that turns out.  Pinterest.com gives me a lot of great ideas, and I've even purchased some of the supplies, so I guess the rest is in my hands...Here are some randoms that I think are cute.  Until next month...year? Maybe.

Booker's First Birthday

While he didn't get to go to Disneyworld with us, he did get a pretty high flyin' party.  I may have gone a leeetle overboard with the party.  But hey, you only turn once right, and he may be my last :( Our theme was, Time Flies, and we used my Uncle's vintage toy plane for the invites.  Pretty cute kiddo.  It was also pre haircut, so he still looked like a baby. Of course I can't find that picture, so here is this one.  He's still cute.   Just a small party with family, and he had a great time.  He has already changed so much since this day.  He was just starting to make words and now can say Mama, Dada, Harper, Abs, Dude, and a lot of signs.  He also loves to dance, and is seriously the most cuddly sweet boy you will meet.  We love our little Bubba! 

September is here!

Well, it's practically here. Where did August go? Where did the summer weather go? I don't care, it's Fall weather here in Nebraska and I hope it's going to stay well into November. Ahh, September, it's my favorite month...and not just because it's my birthday month 29 on the 9th, it's kind of a golden birthday-9/9/09, so that means extra gifts, right? Right. We are very busy this month. This weekend is the first Husker game of the season, so my mom and I are getting out of dodge to visit my sister (I am displeased to learn that my brother in law is renting the game, I can't escape it!). We're going to a pirate festival, and a carnival, and to this awesome little kitchen store in downtown Independence. So excited for family fun. My nephew told me I can sleep in his bed, but only if I wear underwear...um, deal? Erich has many options that weekend, we have an engagement party in York, going to the game, watching the game...who knows how crazy he'll...

Harper Jay Kant has arrived!

The wait is over! On June 9th, at 5:40 pm, Harper Jay Kant entered the world, weighing 8 pounds, 10 ounces and measuring 20.5 inches long! I am so happy to have her in my arms, as is Erich. During the pregnancy, I made the comment on multiple occasions that I bed I'd pay for it during labor, and boy did I...and so the story goes: Tuesday I began having contractions around noon, but nothing that was progressive or in any order, so we decided to just keep our plan to go in at 7:30 to be induced. I was admitted around 8, and the "ripening" agent was started. I was checked around 12 and had progressed enough to warrant starting the Pitocin (around 1). Contractions began, but I really couldn't feel much; it was a long night and I was too excited to sleep (especially after the nurse commented that with these contractions I could be pushing by 7 that morning...I knew it was too good to be true) so I spent the evening with the Lost crew from Season 2, and waking Erich ...
