Bonfire Season

We are starting an annual Klokkenga Bonfire this year! We are going to roast hotdogs, marshmellows, eat some YUMMY food, play with the kiddos, and chit chat with GREAT friends and family! Now that we have a house and yard big enough to entertain, I believe we will be doing more parites @ the Klokkenga residence. I love to have people over and catch up. Anymore it seems everyone is busy with their own lives and millions of things going on that we don't have much time to get together or even just simply pick up the phone to say, "Hey, How are things?"
So we couldn't think of a better way to see everyone and especially to let all the kids play together. This one was set up VERY last minute, but in the years to come I will be more organized and let everyone know in plenty of time.
The remainer of this week Bryan and I will be prepping the inside and outside of the house for the party. (With fun comes LOTS of cleaning and preparing, but it'll all be worth it in the end.) I believe Ms. Adelyn will have a great time babbling with her buddies, just being a kid.
I will be sure to post pictures from this weekend and the MANY upcoming events in our lives that will be taking place. Take Care!
Love,
The Klokkenga's

Looking so much like her dad.

So far September has been jam packed for us. We haven't had much time to sit @ home and do nothing, besdies this past weekend. Friday night we got off of work and layed around. Well until I got a wild hair and wanted to go to Target. So off to Target we went. Adelyn got LOTS of new stuff. Mommy went on a shopping spree for winter clothes. We got several outfits, a really cute pair of PINK uggs (knock off Uggs.. they are like swuade snow boots) a hat and pair of gloves that match her winter coat, a new baby doll, a stroller for her baby doll, socks, and a couple small toys. We woke up Sat AM and cleaned out Addy's dresser and closet and boxed up her summer clothes that are too small. rearranged her closet and her room looks so cute. :) Then Saturday morning I went and picked up mom and we went BACK to Target again and bought MORE stuff for Addy. This trip she got another small toy and diapers and wipes.(and and 1 more cute shirt) We also got a stand for our bathroom to put our towels/hair dryer etc on. Bryan started to put that together and it was broken, so we are returning it.Target LOVED the Klokkenga's this weekend. Saturday afternoon we went to the Morton Pumpkin Festival. We had a good time looking @ the arts and crafts there. Adelyn got a pink Tutoo and more hair bows and a new hair bow holder. We had a photo shoot with the tutoo when we got home. Saturday night we hung out @ home and played. and Sunday Bryan had to unexpectiadley worked ALL day. We were supposed to go to my cousin's couples 80's bridal shower, but Bryan didnt get home until 6:00PM. So addy and I stayed home and played, i studied for a while. last nigth we hung out and relaxed, it was nice.Now it's back to another busy work week. The weekends absolutely fly by. :(

Oh and belated Happy Birthday to Papo Doug!

Fall already?

It totally feels like fall. well through most of the summer its felt like fall. I love the fall season, but I also Love summer and we didnt get a long enough nor warm enough summer. :( It's been said we are supposed to have a terrible winter also. I dread that. I do not like winter time.
Well Adelyn has a cold ALREADY. We've been wiping her nose millions of times a day and she HATES it. she has been cranky lately. But she has not only been cranky from having a cold, but i was feeling aroundin her mouth last night and felt that she had 2 molars on the top on both sides come in as well as last week had her two top I teeth pop in. poor baby girl! Her sleep schedule is completely off as well. She hasnt been asleep before 11:00PM all week starting like Friday night. I asked Kimmy (babysitter) to not let her sleep more than an hour and a half over there b/c she isnt sleeping well. Kim said she hasnt let her sleep long this past week and she STILL isnt back on schedule. I think the teething and the cold are also contributing factor.
This weekend is Labor Day weekend, I am excited to have 4 days @ home with Adelyn. well I better get back to work. My memory cards for my camera are both full, so when i get those pics printed off, I will take more and post more of our 14 month old!!! (already)
Hope everyone has a nice long holiday weekend!
