Britini's Baby Shower

The day was finally here to celebrate Baby Hunter Wilkens at Auntie Britini's baby shower.  Mommy was so excited to be there and be part of such a special and emotional day.  Everyone that loves your Auntie Britini was there to show love and support for her and Matt on this special day.  

It was a hunting theme and no surprise that her mom and sisters did an absolutely amazing job. No detail missed and the right amount of everything.  The shower was at the new restored White House in Barrington and the food was delicious.  Auntie Britini made a beautiful speech thanking everyone for joining and being there to support her and Matt on this emotional journey.  

We cannot wait for the birth of this handsome little man, even though he's not my actual nephew that's what I'll be calling him!!! So excited for Britini and Matt - we love you guys.

2nd Annual Goebberts Visit

A Fall pumpkin trip to Goebberts has become a family tradition just like when Mommy was a little girl, except Goebberts has expanded their fall festivities since the late 80's early 90's.   We made the drive up to Barrington and Papa joined us for a fun day, however mommy didn't get one photo of the two you together.  We also picked a very cold day to go and VERY windy.  

Avery had so much fun playing with all the signs and taking her picture with everyone.

Papa was so surprised at all the different animals there were to see in the zoo.  We were able to buy carrots and grain to feed to everyone, which ended up being your favorite part.  You loved feeding everyone and mimic'ing them chewing. 

There were even  Bangle Tigers that were playing with pumpkins

You loved watching the piglets run around and squeel

We also wanted to make sure we got some decorations and pumpkins for the new house. Mommy and Daddy thought it would be fun to have some fall/Halloween decorations in front to really get into the spirit.
