Merry Christmas

I LOVE CHRSTMAS TIME!!!

Being with friends and family to celebrate is my favorite! This year we were able to spend time with some of our favorite people...

And then we were able to spend the weekend in Chicago and do some after Christmas shopping with the Copelands. The highlights...GINO'S Chicago style pizza AND IKEA!

Tucker Christmas Party

We had a great time with friends at the Tucker Christmas Party! A lot of fun memories were made and now we're thinking this should be an annual thing (or monthly) :)!

enjoying our traditions

I've been bad about writing lately...hope everyone is doing well. We are thankful for many blessings but mostly our family and friends! Thanksgiving was a wonderful day with family.

Of course we came home and decorated our tree tonight, too! I've already been listening to Christmas music and can't wait for a month of more!

Fall is here!!

Signs that FALL is here:

1.) Pumpkin carving

2.) Sweatshirts

3.) Hiking in Brown County and camping overnight...so much fun!

4.) Purdue flag hanging proudly outside our house!

Purdue Tailgating!

This week we had a fun Oktoberfest Theme for Purdue Football tailgating with friends. Good times and good memories!

1st Ever Triathlon!

We had a great time in our first ever triathlon. It was HARD but all the training paid off! We might be new fans of this sport...

Happy birthday and welcome to the world baby Kate! Amy and Kevin had a baby girl and are now a family of 4. Kate is a precious angel!

New Traditions

It's the little things in life that make a big difference! Keenan and I discovered how much better it is to grocery shop together:)! It's going to be our new tradition. We also discovered how fun it is to make pizza instead of ordering out. 2 new traditions for the 4 of us!

Lucus Oil

Even though summer has been great, we are looking forward to fall and FOOTBALL SEASON! We had a chance to see Lucus Oil Stadium and of course Matt was excited to touch the end zone where Reggie Wayne will score many touchdowns this season!

"...at the zoo"

We've never had so much fun going to the zoo until going with Jack. He absolutely loves it and talks about everything that happens at the zoo in his cute little voice. Glad we got this trip in before school starts back up for both Kevin and I! Can't wait for his baby sister in a MONTH!

Mary Kay Seminar

This was the most motivational and exciting few days I've had in a while! Mary Kay seminar was amazing!

Hanging out in the Presidential Suite...compliments of Nan!

New Director Debut...Mom and Jen walking across stage!

Future Directors in the "Barnhart Area"!

Mary Kay Headquarters

Symphony on the Prairie

If you haven't been to Symphony on the Prairie you should definitely go! Matt and I had a fun date last night with our picnic and some great James Bond Theme music.

Feet In The Sand

We spent some quality time with our feet in the sand this past week. The trip to Florida was a much needed break where we were able to relax and hang out with some friends. We mostly spent time on the beach but had a few fun evenings out, as well! Can't wait to go back!
