ISU Basketball Game

We finally had a weekend at home and the weather cooperated, so we headed up to Ames to take in an ISU Women's game. It was the annual "pink-out" to honor breast cancer awareness so the teams and fans all filled Hilton with pink. The Cyclones played a great game and won against Baylor, and we had a great time watching!

1st Trip out of Iowa

The first weekend in February marked Tyler's first trip out of Iowa! We took a slightly long weekend to go to St. Louis to meet up with the Hallquist side of the family and celebrate Emma's 2nd birthday. Val, Emma, & Chase drove up from Louisville Thursday and met Carrie just outside of St. Louis, and Grandma & Grandpa joined them late that evening. We headed out noon Friday - and drove in some snow and ice to get there. Thanks Daddy for driving! We ate out and swam Friday night, Saturday went to visit Aunt Ruth and her kids and did some more swimming, and headed home Sunday. It was great to see everyone again!

3 Month Pictures!!

We finally took Tyler for his first 'professional' pictures when he turned 3 months old - we can't believe he's that old already! My how time flies!! The pictures turned out pretty good, but the honestly do not do is smile justice!
