Baby Blessings

The first weekend in August we went to Kansas City for Garrett and Rex's baby blessings. It was fun to see the whole family, and even Quentin's dad was able to be there for the special day. Rex and Garrett are both sooo sooo cute. Plus, the trip was extra fun because we got to make our big announcement :) We also got to attend Cora's 3rd birthday party. It was a pool party, so I didn't get any pictures of that, but here are a few pics of the little guys... Garrett and Rex in their blessing outfits Cute little Rex Quentin snuggling baby Garrett

Attention Grandma!

I know that Grandma Hendrickson is our most faithful blog follower...she checks it every day, which I'm sure leads to big disappointment day after day after day. So to make up for it all, check out this picture. Look closely...

Can you read our shirts?

Look again...

Did you get the message?

Call me once you see it Grandma :)

A New Record?

Ever heard of one person being enrolled in 3 different colleges at once? Me neither, until the other day when Quentin found out he could take a class at Columbia College instead of MU since he wasn't sure he would get into it at MU. So now he will be taking college algebra at Moberly, Anatomy at Columbia College and physiology and intro to health professions at MU. I guess that's what happens when you're on a time crunch for getting all your pre req classes in. It will definitely be a tough semester, but since he won't be working anymore he can focus just on school.

Quentin has finished his summer semester and I'm proud to say that he got all A's! So now he has a little break before he starts at his 3 colleges in the fall. We'll be keeping busy though. This weekend we'll go to Kansas City for two of our new nephew's baby blessings (Garrett and Rex), and then next week we get to take our little trip to California! Woohoo! We're excited for both trips!!!!!!!

Minute to win it

Ok, here you go. I know there are few people out there who really want to see this. This is mom trying to do a minute to win it game. She also stated that because Quentin video taped, she said to Quentin I quote "I used to like you". Ouch! Hope you enjoy

Wicked

This past weekend we got to go see Wicked in St. Louis with the Jacobs! We went up Friday night and stayed with Michael's brother and then Saturday morning we dropped Andrew off at Grandma's and Karen and I went to Archiver's, this huge scrapbook store (and of course spent plenty of money). Mike and Quentin waited outside and had bets on how much we would spend and I am happy to say that we came in well below their expected amounts! Guess I could have spent a little more ;). Then we grabbed lunch to go and had to rush to Fox Theater to make the show in time. We barely made it...seriously. The lights went out right as we got to our seats, so we had to feel our way to sit down. Wouldn't it have been so embarrassing if someone had sat on someone else's lap? Oh wait....Karen did that. Hahaha! So the play was fun and then we went out to dinner afterwards. And we even got to stop at Maggie Moo's for ice cream! We all had fun but everyone was tired and ready to come home. Unfortunately we forgot our camera so no pictures...sorry!

Happy Birthday Addibell!

So the main reason we went to Arkansas was to celebrate little Addison's first birthday! It's hard to believe she is already a year old when it seems like we just went to visit her for the blessing. It was lots of fun to see the family and go to Addison's monkey-themed birthday party.

We Ran a 5K

Shannon invited us to join her in a 5K when we went down to Arkansas and Quentin's mom did it too. I don't have pictures yet because I took them on a disposable camera, but I'm proud to say that Quentin and I ran a 5K! We hadn't really run much the week of the 5K due to food poisoning and such, so we were extra proud of ourselves for running the whole thing! I finished in 31:15 and Quentin followed about 30 seconds after me.
