Happy Thanksgiving

We had a great dinner at the Ingram's in Chicago, as well as spending time with the folks, Colombus Jr and Jaylen. Jaylen is almost as big as Jada and he is only 3 years old. We are gearing up for Black Friday shopping which comes @ 2am. We are very thankful that we could spend it with our family and saw all of the Lanings on Skype.

Love the eyelashes!!!!

Spider Girl to the rescue with RED eye lashes. WE had a great Halloween at the Huffman's house with lots of laughs, fun and Cherie's special egg rolls. Jada had a blast showing Ava how to trick r treat and be a stand in big sister for 4 days. It reminded Lamar and I of when Makenzie came to visit when Jada was born....which one was more jealous I will leave that to debate.

Check out the super girl poses below!! Jada was so excited to go down 4 big streets and ringing each door bell. Had a blast but missed both of our familes A LOT!!!!

Can't wait for Thanksgiving so we can make the trip to Chicago and visit with the Ingrams!!

Can't wait for the Xmas Trip to Seattle to visit with our new nephew Collin and hopefully Rueben comes when we are there.

Happy Halloween

In Iowa we trick 'r' treat on Begger's night and we also tell a joke. Jada's jokes this year are: Why did the vampire go to the Dentist....to fix his bite and What is a vampire's favorite dog/pet...a blood hound. She is spider girl this year. We have Ava this year so Jada is getting to experience what it would be like to be a big sister for a couple of days. We carved the pumpkin today...which was a mess but had a great time. We miss you all.

Mak - Hope you had a lot of good food at King Wa's and had a super duper wonderful birthday. We will see you in 2 months.

Mr. Collin - Happy 1st Halloween!!!!

Do we have a Volleyball Player

On September 17th Jada, Lamar and I went to our first Drake Volleyball game. At the time they were undefeated. Jada told us that girls don't play spots, it must be because all we watch is NFL, NBA, Men's Golf, Men's College Basketball..etc so we decided to show her that she could play sports as well. We started off the night with dinner at Jethro's BBQ, which was awesome and then rounded a late Tuesday night off at the Knapp Center. Drake won and we had a great time!! Jada decided she would rather cheer on the Iowa Hawkeyes because one of the girls had sparkles in her hair!!! :)

Jada's Birthday w/Mom & Dad

Jada celebrated her Bday with her mom at the hari salon and a night at Ohana's Steakhouse. She had a blast in her fake glasses and blowing out her cake!!! Boy how the time goes by.

Bowling Birthday Party

Fantastic Five!!!

We celebrated Jada's 5th Birthday at the Bowling alley with 10 of her friends. The kids had a blast!!! One game across 2 lanes w/bumpers took 1 1/2 hour.

Jada was so excited to have her friends and cousin help her celebrate her birthday.

Tamar, Colombus and Jaylen came from Chicago for the party as well.

Needless to say I think everyone (including Lamar and I) had a good night sleep.
