fall festivities

We have had a crazy fun September!  Not only has it been the first month that Sebastian's Table has been open (more on that later...whenever I have the energy to sum it up!), we've been running around soaking in the Fall weather!

Children's Museum fundraiser for the UNL Children's Center. 

We had a blast with our friends!

Evie's class took a field trip to the Fire Station. My good friend sent me these great pictures!

Fall wouldn't be complete without a trip to an apple orchard. Our family made the quick trip out to Martin's Hillside Orchard and had a great time!

Decs an Evie were apple picking machines!

#mahoney2013

Our annual trip to Mahoney was a huge success. We had such a wonderful time with all the Hustad/Lovelace/Miller fams!  Sure love this tradition!

The swings were a hit!

Uncle Jason is like a kid magnet. Good thing his career is headed toward pediatrics!

Beautiful Emily.  Love her.

Dirt = hours of fun.

We made an afternoon trip to the Air & Space museum!

I have the prettiest sister in law.  Love Kinsey Jane!

Uncle Andrew had his hands full at lunch time!

Perfect fall weather = lots of playtime outside!

Mahoney play center fun!

So. Many. Kids.

The whole group.  Love these people.

My dear friend Steph is expecting Baby Boy Zechmann!  Melanie flew in for the weekend and we CELEBRATED the soon to be arrival of Baby Z!  We love him already!

Keller just loves her Aunt Mel!  :)

Labor Day Festivities

We had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend!  So much to celebrate!

On Sunday, our dear friends Peyton and Jesse got married!  Peyton is our former nanny who we miss terribly.  But what a wonderful day celebrating Mr. and Mrs. Smith!  The girls were flower girls and had so much fun getting dressed up like "princesses!"

Rehearsal with Pey-Pey and JJ :)

Mr. & Mrs. Smith!

My parents also spent the weekend with us and we had so much fun!  My dad went with me to the Husker game on Saturday.  What a blast (even though it was SO hot out!)

On Monday (Labor Day) all of the Hustad clan came over to our house to celebrate Aug/Sept birthdays!  There are a TON of us and what a wonderful celebration it was!

Happy birthday Janie, Kinsey, Declan, Jess, Ashley, Jason, and Soren!  AND my MOM!
