Fall in Nebraska = Husker Football
We have been having a good ol' time attending home football games and spending time with family in Lincoln.
My in-laws are super fun tailgaters and avid game goers but after another Husker loss they were not quite as social. Hopefully they were calling for help because unfortunately this year our team needs some.
We made our annual visit to the local Country Pumpkin store and selected a few of our favorites to bring home and decorate the front porch. We also decorated the inside of our home with all things autumn.
Then we visited a local pumpkin patch by Glenvil and let the kiddos run wild and free.
This week we held our annual, family pumpkin carving competition and this year Nathan recruited Grandma and Grandpa McKenzie.
As always, Jentry was the judge and she selected Nathan's Broncos pumpkin as the winner. This award may not seem like much to most, but to Nathan it was a HUGE trophy. You see Jentry has always selected Mommy to be the winner of well, pretty much everything. The fact that she chose Nathan meant everything to him.
That night when Nathan gave her a hug goodnight, she leaned in a gave him a kiss. This was the first time she has ever shown Nathan such affection. As a mother, this melted my heart completely. Nathan was shocked and overjoyed. As he crawled into bed he said, "I won big time tonight!" Indeed he did.
