10/7-10/10

This past weekend we went to Ellsworth to visit family. We left Thursday night and came back today, Sunday.

It was really great. The kids got to see & meet some family members they haven't met/seen in awhile. They had a really good time, they slept practically all the way back home today except maybe the last hour! :)

We got to Nana & Grandpa's house late Thursday night. Well, I went to bed at midnight and the kids went to bed way later! Brodie didn't go to sleep until 3am!! Then we had to be up early the next morning to go to a funeral.

Brodie did good at the funeral, but then he tried to add his two cents to the sermon. So, Ben took Brodie outside to play around. Naomi did really good! No blowouts and no crying fits! :)

After the funeral we took the kids back to Nana & Grandpa's for naps and then met with the rest of the family at the church for lunch. Brodie had fun running around there after he ate and Naomi slept most of the time :)

After lunch at the church we went to Aunt Marnie & Uncle Don's house. It was a really good time! Their house is beautiful and Brodie liked looking at all the decorations. Luckily they did have some toys that Brodie liked playing with! After awhile, cousin Ashlyn came so he had a little buddy to play with. Naomi was having fun being held by everyone :) It was really great seeing everyone and we can't wait for next month-Thanksgiving & the family reunion! :)

The next day, Auntie Eden came back home and we just hung out at Nana & Grandpa's. Brodie loved playing around with his Auntie Eden :) She got both the kids little Halloween treats-two little goody bags and there were little toys in each of them. Brodie had a pirate hat, bowl, and a ball with an eyeball inside! Naomi's had a Frankenstein shirt, a pair of socks, and a witch hat! :) So cute!!

Sunday, we hung out for a little bit at Nana & Grandpa's and then we went to Salina to visit my family. I hadn't called and told them we were in town because I wanted to surprise them. When we got close to my Grandpa's house, I called my mom and asked her to go outside and then just kept asking her about how the weather was. She was looking the other way when we pulled up to the house. On the phone,I told her to look the other way and she saw us and it scared her! haha :) She was like "oh my gosh, you guys!!" And ran inside and told my Uncle and Grandpa we were there. It was really good. We stayed and watched the Chiefs/Colts game. Then around 3ish, we left to try to see if we could find a 2T Wolverine costume for Brodie. We couldn't so we just left town.

Like I said above, the kids slept almost all the way home! They woke up outside of Topeka. They were so wore out! :) We got home, bathed the kids and Brodie went to bed early. Nomi is just laying in her lamb sleeping.

Oh, and when we got home Nomi's Halloween costume was in the mail! Tried it on her and it fits perfectly!! Can't wait for Halloween!! Just have to find her some hair accessories-or make them myself, and order Brodie's Halloween costume online. :)

It was great seeing everyone!! Can't wait for next month! :)
