My baby turned 18 last week.  Steve and I wanted to go to Ames and take him out for lunch on his birthday.  He had a few requests: Brick City Grill, Maya and Molly, Sammi, Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Bars.  He wanted his girlfriend, Sammi, to come along so we could meet her. (She’s sweet and adorable!) He wanted Maya and Molly (our pups) to come so Sammi could meet them and because he misses them so much.  (She loved them and they loved her :)) Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Bars instead of cake, so he could share them with his friends on his dorm floor.  We got take out and ate at a park so Keegan could have all his birthday requests!  It was fun to see how truly happy Keegan is at college!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Iowa Hawkeye Football game.

Steve and I got to attend the Iowa Hawkeye/ Iowa State football game on Saturday.  The game was fun and the Hawkeyes won!  Yeah! I have to admit I attended Iowa State my freshman year, my three boys are all Iowa Staters, as well as my Dad and sister.  I secretly cheer for Iowa State too, so no matter who won, I would’ve been happy.  Steve and I graduated from Iowa and our sweet Abby goes to Iowa now.  My sophomore year I transferred to Iowa to be closer to my long time boyfriend, Steve, and it was the best decision ever!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
