Thanksgiving in Kansas

What a fun week we had, Robbin and her family came up from Texas and Brad and his family came out from Denver and with Tom already living here, we had a great time!

After some black Friday shopping, we went to Prairie Pines and cut down our own Christmas tree! Here we are riding the tractor that took us out to the tree lot...

Jaxson sawing down the tree (lots of thorns on the ground...thanks for taking one for the team Derek!)

Knights Football Banquet


Jaxson finished a great season as running back on offense, scoring 18 touchdowns, kicker, kick returner (yes, Ty...his name came true..Jackie the kicker!!), and line backer on defense! Tonight we celebrated the season with a banquet! Great job Knights!

San Diego


Noelle shares her birthday with our anniversary and this being Noelle's 40th B-day, Jared decided to surprise her and have us meet them in San Diego for a few days. I decided to make it fun for us and surprise Derek too..ok, so not very much fun to surprise Derek..lesson learned! Sorry babe!
Still we had a great time and Leslie met us there from Kansas City too! Warm weather, great food, Navy Seals training off Coronado Island, lots of shopping and great conversations! Wish we lived closer! Miss you guys already!

I kept forgetting to take pictures, but the memories are ingrained! Here are two photos I shot and a few videos(walk on the pier, view of the pier from the street, dolphins jumping in waves)!
