Family and Friends Time!

Love family time, get togethers and just spending time with the ones you love and care about the most.  On 9/13 we had a family and friends BBQ at the house.  It was to show everyone in person our new kitchen and not just through pictures.  Got a lot of very nice compliments and everyone loved the open concept kitchen/family room.

Before!

After!

We had a lot of food.  Jon was so kind enough to smoke some pork butts and pork loin.  My mom brought her delicious potato salad, rice and a chocolate cake.  Others brought: salads, beans, celery dip, brownies, cookies, cheesecake bites, a snickers/granny smith apple dessert (thanks Roxy), apple crisp, veggies, dips, crackers, and cheese! Hope I didn't forget anything but I probably did since there was so much food!  Thank you to everyone that brought food and came over to enjoy everyone's company.  Some people enjoyed the deck, others watched the Chiefs game, and the kids played outside. All around it was a great day!


Grandpa Kreutzer got Andrew a new wagon! Thanks Grandpa!


Grandpa, you got this for me! Thanks!

My mom and grandma enjoyed watching Andrew ride in the wagon.

Now that the kitchen is complete we will be having a lot more get togethers. Our next big event will be Thanksgiving!  We will have Matt's side of the family over and then some of us will be going shopping for Black Friday! Can't wait for that!!!

On 9/15 I got to catch up with two of my best friends April and April.  Since we don't see each other that often anymore, we try and get together at least once a month.  We went to dinner at Jose Peppers and got some dessert at The Orange Leaf.  It's always a good time with these two ladies!

Love these girls!

Normally on Saturday's Andrew and I meet up with Matt for lunch.  It is usually at our normal spot, Culver's in Olathe.  It is by Matt's route and we love their food!


After we had lunch with Matt, I took Andrew over to April's house so I could go get a massage! Which was amazing! I had a gift card to a salon in Overland Park from April from Christmas that I thought I should use before this Christmas came around lol!

That night we had our annual Church Family Fun Night out at the Boan's house.  We were babysitting Myranda and Preston that night too, so they came along with us.  I made a pot of chili which was delicious!  I think my recipe is getting better and better each time I make it.  There were games for the kids and adults, a bonfire, enough chili and soup to feed an army, desserts, hot chocolate and a hay ride! I think Andrew really liked the hay ride, well at least the hay lol.  He kept trying to eat it!

Bon Fire


So nice and peaceful out in the country!

Andrew was enjoying the hay.




You can never have enough family and friend time!
