While we were in Maquoketa, we had tickets for the Quad City Airshow. We braved hurricane Isaac's remnants and went on Sept 1st. It was a cold, windy and rainy day but we made the best of the situation. Here I am enjoying fries and chicken tenders.
Unfortunately, a pilot lost his life while flying at the airshow. Mom snapped this picture shortly before the crash. The pilot on the left later crashed across the airstrip into an alfalfa field. It happened so quickly and we were so shocked. We weren't sure what to do so we went to our car to make a decision whether to stay or go. We later decided to leave.
And of course, lots of four wheeler rides. We always have a good time in Minnesota.
On September 25th, we welcomed another niece into the family. Evangeline Anna Rose Larson was born. I hope we get to meet her soon! Unfortunately, Brynn also came down with croup this day. She had a 105.2 temperature and she had to go on steroids for a week. She got better but I caught a cold from her :(
September 28th, I got tubes in my ears. They did the procedure at Mercy Hospital because of my CF. It was quick and painless and we were home in no time. I had a little pain in my right ear when we got home but a little Ibuprofen was all it took to help with the pain. Bad news is, I got an ear infection the next weekend and have since had another one since I have had my tubes. We know the tubes are still in because my ear drains when I do get an infection. I now have to wear ear plugs whenever I am in or around water. Dr. Dempenwolf gave me two different pairs and they are blue; my favorite color!
Grandma Ann turned 60 on October 8th. We had a little party at our house the day before. Lasagna and cheesecake for everyone!
Mommy and Daddy came to my school conferences on Oct. 8th. Mrs Ryder said I am doing well and in fact I excel in math! My only down fall is rhyming. Mom found some rhyming books and we read them often. I'm starting to understand rhyming words but we continue to work on them.
Brynn and Mommy went to Bloomsbury Farms on Oct. 20th. I decided I didn't want to go so Dad and I stayed home to clean the garage. She got to sit on a giant chair.
And measure herself with the giant measuring stick.
Jumping on a huge inflatable pillow was a hit!
The pig races were next. Brynn thought they were funny. She then took a ride on a "train".
Last but not least, they took a hay ride and got "lost" in the corn maze.
They brought pumpkins home for us to carve. Here we are with our pumpkins before Mom and Dad carved them.
On the 28th, we went to Maquoketa to trick or treat with all the Grandparents. Brynn and I had fun handing out candy at Grandma and Grandpa Eaton's house. On the 31st, Kenley and Kyanna came over and we went trick or treating in our neighborhood. Here we are all dressed up. I was a doctor and Brynn was Minnie Mouse.
I'd also like to share with you our newest member of the family. His name is Gil and he is our guinea pig. We love to take him out of his cage and pet him. Dad also bought Gil a playpen to run around in and then we can also get in with him.
Here are a few random pictures of us. Here I am hanging out.
Dad also bought me a Spiderman shaving kit! He taught me how to shave.
Here are Brynn and I having suckers in Daddy's truck.
Sissy was sick so I had to give her a once over.
Here Brynn is showing us her turkey hand prints at preschool.
I sometimes get tired when I do my treatments.
Brynn and her crazy style :) The cowboy boots use to be Grandma Kris's when she was little.
And last but not least, Brynn and I sleeping together in Mom and Dad's bed. Proof that we really do love each other :)
That's it for now. I'm pooped! Until next time.
Love and hugs to all,
