Family Pictures

We had family pictures with the Aufenkamp side of the family on Sunday so I wanted to post a few of the pictures on here. With Jake's dad not doing very well his mom wanted to get one more family picture before anything happened to him. Well we got them just in time because on Monday night we got that dreaded middle of the night phone call and they thought Britt was leaving us. He held on and is still fighting at this point, everyone keeps telling him it's ok to go because we hate to see him suffer like this but he just won't let go.

Happy Grandparents Day!

Sunday was Grandparents Day so happy grandparents day to all of you grandpas and grandmas out there!!! I've been wanting to have Cruz finger paint for awhile now so I had him finger paint a card for his grandparents. He loved getting messy and of course he had to taste the paint to see if it was something he could eat!

In the past month Cruz has definitely become a typical little boy, he never stops, he's into everything, he climbs on everything and he's becoming quite ornery! We're hoping those terrible twos will hold off till he actually turns two! Here's a few pictures of our little Van Gogh and a couple pictures of him being goofy with Grandma Walkenhorst's tupperware.

Go Huskers!!!

Well the past few days have been crazy around here once again. Jake's dad wasn't doing very well this week so Jake made the decision to come home for the weekend. His dad was put on Hospice on Thursday and Jake flew in Thursday night. He'll have to go back to North Carolina and check out with the Marine Corps on Wednesday and then he's hoping to pack everything up in the U-Haul and head back to Nebraska for good on Saturday. It will be so nice to have him here for good! So needless to say we have been spending alot of time with the family! We had family dinner on Friday night and celebrated Heather's 30th Birthday, Happy Birthday Heather!!! Then yesterday Josh had us all over for the Husker game. Britt even came along, and even though he slept most of the time it was nice to have him there with all of us.

On a lighter note, Go Huskers! It's so nice being in Nebraska during football season this year. Football season definitely was not the same in North Carolina. Cruz didn't watch much of the game but he was sure to show us his "touch down" (he puts his two hands up in the air) every time Nebraska scored.

I hope everyone is having a safe and happy Labor Day weekend!!!
