All in the family :)

Well, while it's been an eventful fall with a lot of great family time and wonderful celebration, Kyle and I have even more to celebrate this holiday season. We are expecting a beautiful baby in June!!! We are so excited and cannot wait to meet this little precious gift from God!

Two positives were enough for us! Needless to say, this was a shocking and emotional evening!!



This is Baby Akers at a little over 12 weeks!
Our little alien baby!!! We can't wait!



Just over 14 weeks...feeling great!

Sister-Sister!

This fall we were able to spend some time seeing family. We went to Michigan for a short hunting trip, and then to Wisconsin for a long hunting trip. While Kyle was sitting in a tree, I was supporting my beautiful sisters, cheering them on in volleyball. Johanna is a senior this year, and we managed to make it up to watch her team win the sectional final game!! It was so exciting...not to mention fun to dress up, make posters, and cheer like I was in high school again!

I also got to see Bizl's team play in their conference tournament, and win it! She also sang the national anthem (she did wonderfully)!! It was so fun:) I'm so proud of them both!

At JoJo's Sectional Final game...had so much fun! GO JOJO!

The whole gang!!! GO BIZL!

Bizl got Tournament MVP! What a stud:)

We also got to spend Thanksgiving with my family in Wisconsin. My mom prepared the most amazing meal...I seriously have been missing the stuffing ever since. It was so great and very relaxing. We got to go shopping, make Christmas cookies with the girls, and get some much needed sleep! Friday after Thanksgiving we went to the Plymouth Christmas parade...always a great time!

Mom's Thanksgiving dinner! YUM

Making Christmas cookies with Elsa and Luci. So fun!

Everybody at the Christmas Parade:)

A Hunting We Will Go!!

Recently, Kyle has been obsessed with hunting. He literally would do it all day, every day if it was possible. He found a good spot here is St. Louis, but had more success getting a deer with his car than sitting in the stand!! It wasn't until a trip to Michigan in November that he finally found success. Got his first doe, and has been talking about it ever since! I'm proud to say I'm officially a hunter's wife, not just a dangerous, nature observers wife. :)

Volleyball Season!

Well, it's been another wonderful season. The girls were great, they worked extremely hard, and it's been so fun coaching them. I can't wait to see what God has in store for next season! Go EAGLES!!

Team sleepover!! What a great night...we had about 12 people in our tiny condo...it was GREAT!



Starting to slow down for the evening:)



My girls!!!
