Busy Times!

We have been lacking in posting as we have been doing alot and not taking the time to update our blog about all of it!

We have gone to Thomas the Train, a trip to Illinois, fun times in the Des Moines area and now Halloween. 

Here are a few pictures to prove our outings!

Happy 3rd Birthday D.J.!

Hard to believe that 3 years ago we didn't have this wonderful little boy-D.J. Mau.  We are so blessed and love him so much, and short of being sounding overly thrilled with a little boy, he is the best thing EVER!

We had a small party today, even though he was feeling a little under the weather, he had a great fun time.

The End of Summer

Summer has come to an end and we wrapped it up with a BANG! 

Busy times all summer made the schedule and hope of cool fall days exciting, we have been very fortunate with fun time with family and friends as well as quick mini-vacations.  Over the past few weeks we have traveled to KC to visit family and celebrate Nico's birthday, started school and had many fun times.

Here are a few pictures:

A day at the Clive Aquatic Center

DJ loves to swim and so we headed to the Clive Aquatic Center for a few hours of fun.  I lost count after 50 jumps into the pool and about 20 full body dunks!  My arms got a workout and DJ had fun, that is all that matters. 

No fear of water from this little man-we are excited about heading to Illinois this weekend and then school will be starting soon!  DJ will have preschool from 12-3 on Tuesday and Thursdays and is excited to start his school.

Pizza for the ride to swim park---all over his head!

Our 1st Plane Ride to Oklahoma!

DJ and I took a trip to Oklahoma City and took DJ's first plane ride.  We drove to KC airport and flew out on Thursday morning and returned on Sunday morning.  We had a great time with our "family" and our friends Mimi and Uncle Al were very welcoming and we loved our time.
