KC zoo, Iowa, and pumpkin patch!

The Holthes have started the month of October with lots of fun activities! To start, Matt took off last Friday so we could all go to the KC zoo. We had fun watching the polar bear, hippos, giraffes, and zebras. We also rode the train 3 times!

After we wore the kids out, we drove to Omaha to spend a quick night with the Ternes family. Luke had fun playing with Maddie and playing the piano. On Saturday Rachel and I went to a family bridal shower. It was fun to see my cousins again!

After that, our weekend was not over! We drove to Iowa to visit my Grandma and Grandpa. We had a nice visit with them.

Today we met Liz and baby Sam at the Pumpkin Patch. The baby girls had fun looking at the animals and riding the tractor to the pumpkin patch. Luke loved the slides, feeding the goats, riding the train 5 times, and riding the tractor! What a fun day!

Well, life in the Holthe household is as busy as ever! I have been back to school for a month and a 1/2 and we're still working on getting into a good routine. With Kindermusik for Luke on Tuesdays and class for Matt on Wednesdays, we are always running somewhere! Every chance we get we go outside to play. Luke is getting really good at riding his trike and Rachel is very close to sitting up all on her own! Here are some more pictures!

Catching Up

Well, more than a year since my last post, I decided it might be time to update.  I'm going to try to keep updated a little more often! :)  We have had lots of changes in our house, the biggest one being a new addition to our family!!  Rachel Ann was born on March 29th.  Luke, Rachel, and I have been at home together since then.  We've had a fun summer and I'm disappointed to see it end soon.  Here are a few pictures of our summer!

Aunt Becky and Uncle Paul's wedding!

Aunt Becky and Uncle Paul got married!! We had a lot of fun getting all dressed up to help them celebrate.

Easter

We went to Iowa for Easter this year to visit Great Grandma & Grandpa Holm. Grandma and Grandpa Krings were there too! We had fun playing with Squirty, taking a walk, and exploring the new house.

We saw the Easter Bunny at the daycare Easter party.

New pictures of Luke

It's been a long time since I've updated! Here are a few highlights of the last month.

Matt and I went to San Diego in March to Gabe and Gaby's wedding - we had a great time! It was a much needed vacation and San Diego was beautiful. Grandma and Grandpa Holthe stayed with Luke while we were gone, and had a fun time.

After that, I had Spring Break! Luke and I stayed home the whole week. It was a wonderful break!

Luke has decided to skip crawling and go straight to cruising. He loves to walk around hanging on the couches, and has started to get brave enough to move onto the end tables.

Last weekend we had Luke's friend Zach and his parents over for dinner. Both boys had a great time playing together! They played so hard that both of them slept all night!

Here are a whole bunch of pictures of Luke:
