Go Big Red

Well Harper you are a husker fan by association. I attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln making me a husker and therefore I project that on to you. If you are from Nebraska, 99 percent of the population are fanatic fans meaning they LOVE the Huskers. You dad falls into the 1 percent catagory, liking the Huskers but rooting for the Oklahoma Sooners instead. You will have to discuss that with him when you get older because I can't really explain it. He even bought a Sooners sun shade to go on the side window. The other weekend I was pulling into Lincoln and forgot that the sun shade was up for your protection. This guy pulled up next to me and started booing me. I figured it out, rolled down the window, and explained that in fact I was a Husker and my partner was a silly Sooner fan. He started laughing. See your dad is in deed from Lincoln, attended Nebraska Wesleyan, but somewhere along the way decided it was best to root for the Sooners. We are really hoping for a W on Nov. 7th when they play each other. I am not really a fanatic but I do indeed love a good Husker game. The feeling when you are in the stadium is quite amazing. I sometimes get all choked up with chills taking over my body. Same as when the cash cab contestents win double or nothing on the video bonus:)
GO BIG RED!!!!

Pumkin Patch

You and I went to Deanna Rose Farmstead for their pumpkin patch festivities yesterday. We rode a hayrack ride, played in their corn filled bin, petted goats, went down the slide, and walked around. It was a beautiful day, nearly 70 degrees. We even brought home a pumpkin to carve. The cutest thing happened... there were two mom's and 2 kiddos that we kept doing the same activities at the same time. The little boy who just turned one was flirting with you. He even walked up to you and gave you his mulch piece. You were so responsive to him with your facial expressions. Too cute:)

Soccer Weekend

This weekend the Davis Family ( Jared,Dawn, Hailey, Hannah, & Hayden) came to KC for Hannah's soccer tournament. You and your dad went on Saturday while mommy worked. On Sunday we all headed to the fields to watch. All the kids loved you and wanted to play and hold you. After the games we headed to Joe's Crab Shack for lunch. It's always so nice to have visitors come to KC. Thanks to the Davis Family for a great weekend!

Dorsey Family Reunion

Following your dad's soccer game, we packed up the car AGAIN, and headed to Nebraska for the Dorsey Family Reunion weekend. We got into Lincoln late and then grandma Dorsey was up with you the next morning (Saturday)to play with you and feed you breakfast. Your dad and I slowly awoke for the day. We repacked grandma's car to head to Loup City for the reunion on Sunday.


What an amazing reunion. The Dorsey family crammed into the Arcadia (which is a town in NE)community center. We ate good food, shared stories with each other, and took pictures. Your great grandfather is the eldest Dorsey, unfortunately all his brothers and sisters have passed. So other than Harold Dorsey's family, we were surrounded by Harold (great g-pa) Dorsey's nieces and nephews and their families. It was an emotional time for a lot of us, being amongst so many family. I teared up quite a few times when people would get on the mic. How lucky we are to be apart of the Dorsey family tree. The Harold Dorsey family were adorned in red t-shirts and you little lady had a red dress on. I was a bit worried that since you hadn't napped and were a tad sicky that you would have stranger danger melt downs. You surprised me and were very social. You walked around the hall, played with some other kiddos, and were comfortable hanging out.

Friday nite soccer

Your dad has been playing soccer on Friday nites. Your dad LOVES the game. He loves to play, coach, and watch anyone play the game. We watch our friend's daughter play and he yells from the sideline like he's one of the parents. I must say he does know what he is talking about. Anyway, we went to watch him play the other Firday nite. Actually you walked around and I followed you. Not much watchin goin on. I kept trying to keep your gloves on your little hands. It was a chilly one. We ended up packing up early and waiting in the car until he finished.

Birthday weekend

We packed up our car and headed to Nebraska for your dad's birthday weekend. We visited grandma & grandpa King, grandma & grandpa Wimmer, and had a gathering with Aunt Susi & Grandma Schuett. It was a fun filled weekend with our families. There were a few people missing, one of which was your grandma Dorsey. She was in Washington DC for a media conference. We missed her, among the others who we didn't see. As you will learn, family is hugely important to us! We are all three blessed with amazing family. Thanks to our family for loving us UNCONDITIONALLY and being a part of our journey.
