Arnold Kluesner Halloween - Oct. 23, 2014

Here are the Arnold-Kluesner clan in their Halloween costumes.  Was a chilly Halloween night but the candy is worth it right?  😝

Michael and I had about 40 trick-or-treaters but an 80 piece pack of candy. Good on my lips, not on my hips!  

Warburg Homecoming - Oct. 18, 2014

Michael and I headed back to Waverly, IA to celebrate the homecoming of the Warrburg Knights. We walked around campus, went to the football game, went to the post party and saw many of Michael's good friends from college. It was a perfect day. 

Wayne and Millie's 40th Anniversary - Oct. 12, 2014

Mom and Dad celebrated their 40th anniversary on Sunday, October 12th. The day started with mass at St. Paul parish in Worthington, IA.  During the blessing, the priest was calling them "Willie and spouse".  Was totally hoping he would say "Willie and Mayne" as Leah affectionately calls them. 

Then Mom and Dad had all the aunts and uncles over for appetizers, lunch and dessert. It was great seeing everyone. We also managed to get a family picture. 

Univ of Iowa Homecoming - Oct 11, 2014

Michael went to tailgate for UI Homecoming and look who he ran into!  It's Olivia!

Leah's bridal shower and bachelorette - Oct 4, 2014

Leah Lestina will be marrying Greg DeNoyer on Saturday, November 8, 2014 in Bloomington, WI. We celebrated her prenuptials in Wisconsin Dells at a HUGE rental house that probably could have held 30 people!  The bridal shower

 was in the morning and people from all periods of Leah's life were there - from grade school all the way to the present.  

For the bachelorette we did wine tasting and after that, craft beer tasting. 

Visited by the niece and nephew Sept. 28, 2014

Mom and Dad gave us the bedroom set that they bought when they got married. Todd brought it down in his truck and brought the kids with him. Here are a couple pics of the kids on our play set in the backyard.

Annie Get Your Gun - Sept 27, 2014

Two of our friends are officers and they offered to give some gun safety tips and allow us to practice shooting at their place in the country.  I've been wanting to try it out so that I would not be scared of a gun. I turned out to be a fairly good shot my first time around. We used .22 pistols which are lighter and don't have much kickback.
