Reuben's 2nd Birthday Party

Reuben had an Elmo party. The first cakewas a large Elmo that was very top heavy and so it fell over. The second cake had a smaller Elmo on top of it which ended up falling over a couple of times. So we hurried and got pictures then let Reuben take a bite out of him! Everyone enjoyed making their own balloon animals designs and watching funny You Tube videos.

Halloween 2009

On Halloween day, we went to our pastor's house for a birthday party for several "old" people. Then some of us stayed late to go trick-or-treating. Richard and I dressed up as Facebook friends (although I couldn't wear my costume while holding Reuben); Naomi was an MP3 Player; Gabriel was Ben 10; Reuben wouldn't put on a costume.

Papa & Lois Surber's October Visit

The Surbers Came to Town

In September 2009, Trisha's Uncle Mark, Aunt Annie, and Great Aunt Rudy came to Colorado from Indianapolis for a visit. We sure enjoyed being able to see them!

The Conklins go to a BEARS GAME!

Richard got tickets from his work for the Chicago Bears pre-season game vs. the Denver Broncos. The game ended late and it was a school night, so we did not get to stay for the whole game, but it was an experience to remember! It was the first time that Trisha and the kids had attended a professional football game.
