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...

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.

A few pics of the birthday girl...Just enjoying the party together! Little Garrett...still so small!
Preston cheesin' for the camera

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.

Weekend in Utah

We were lucky enough to be able to venture out to Utah for a long weekend to visit Grandma Moore. Not too long ago she was diagnosed with stage 4 (final stages) cancer and given 6-9 months to live. So the reasoning behind the trip was not pleasant, but it was great to see her and a bunch of other relatives. I have to admit that it's pretty nice that both my grandmas live in the same town! Dad, Aliisa, Quentin and I flew out Friday night and met Kirsten and Kirk in Vegas. We got into St. George very late and stayed with Grandma Hendrickson. We spent the rest of the time hanging out with Grandma Moore and some more of the Moore clan. We also got to see Mark and Holly and the girls! Grandma Moore seemed to be feeling pretty well most of the time we were there, so we were lucky to catch her at a good time. It was a fun trip until the trip home. We're pretty sure we got food poisoning at the burger place we ate before we left so I was sick the whole way home. Let's just say that airplane bathrooms are DEFINITELY not barf-friendly. It takes a special person to bend appropriately, but it was a better alternative to the barf bag in front of everyone, which I also got to experience on the car ride home from the airport...sorry travel buddies! I guess it was well worth it to see everyone, especially Grandma Moore. Thanks for the trip, Mom and Dad!
