    Shes having a blast! Too Cute!

    She's having a blast! Too Cute!

    It’s Friday. Phew… Ella and Kiley were able to hang out with Grandma Marsha and Jill this afternoon at Pump It Up! Ella had a blast and Kiley is still a bit young for the place. I heard Jill had an interesting time keeping up with Kiley seeing as how she is ready to burst :) . After picking up the girls, we ordered chinese food for dinner and cleaned up a bit. Ella is spending the weekend with her Dad. It’s always tough when she goes and I think Kiley is starting to pick up on it. We mentioned Ella’s name after she left and she pointed to the door and was showing us where Ella went. This should be interesting in a year when Kiley really gets it.

    I’m in the process of posting photos to Flickr. We have photos to post from our Door County trips as well as a video from tonight. Kiley got down to Beyonce’s – “All the Single Ladies.”

    There are some really cute photos from Door County. I’ve added a few to the main image area on this site. Here is a link to Grandma Sue’s photos on Picasa.

    Also, the White Sox scored a great pitcher today with dealing for Jake Peavy! Go Sox! And, Bear training camp started today! Check out what we put together for the Bears and their Camp Coverage.

    Here is a video of Kiley feeding the ducks in Door County!

    Here is the video of Kiley dancing tonight! Too Cute. I even sing a little… :)

    Another great weekend!

    Monday, July 27th, 2009

    Well we had another great weekend! This time we were in Door County with Lee and Sue. What a beautiful place to be! We were so lucky to get to stay at a great house that was owned by some wonderful people that Lee and Sue go to church with. The girls even got to go up there Thursday morning with Grandma and Grandpa. Lee and Sue were very brave! Thanks again for that you guys!

    We got to do some traditional Door County things and eat lots of food while we were up there for our short trip. Some of those things included: climbing a big tower in Penisula State Park to see the most beautiful view of the entire area; going to Wilson’s for some yummy lunch and ice cream, going shopping at a bunch of little gift shops, going to a traditional fish boil, out to breakfastat Al Johnson’s with the goats on the roof, and grabbing a bunch of candy at the confectionary. It was a blast! Gizmo had a great time with Auntie Allison and Uncle Donnie at their house in Elgin while we were away. Allison doesn’t know if Gizmo ever sleeps :)

    Now its back to reality once again. August is sure to busy a very busy month! First baby Jake is going to arrive on or before 8/4. Jill is being induced on 8/4 if he isn’t here by then. We have birthdays galore with my Mom, Jessy, Nathan, Ben, Me, my Dad, Uncle Mike, Ella, and anyone else that I may have missed. We also have Drew’s wedding, the Daughtry concert, Ben and Jessy and Makayla’s visit, and Ella’s birthday party (which we haven’t really planned yet).  All of this while Matt has one of the busiest months ever at work!!! Its sure to be crazy!

    Stay Tuned!

    Baby Saip!

    Monday, July 27th, 2009

    Well I guess it’s time to update this site about the newest addition to our family. We are expecting another baby January 22nd 2010. We are so excited!!! I will be 15 weeks on Friday. I can’t believe how fast this pregnancy is going. I guess I really don’t have time to think about being pregnant when we already have two special little girls to occupy our time. We found out we were pregnant right away back in May. We were a little surprised, but hey, we never can plan these things.

    We had been talking about when was the right time to start trying for the third child, and bam, we were pregnant! Crazy huh! We were most surprised to find out that we are due on the same day that we were due with Kiley two years ago. How does that even happen? We are of course, hoping that we can have a little boy this time but we will be just as happy with another precious girl. Either way, we think we are done after this one.

    I believe that I have Matt convinced to find out what the baby is. He was hoping to have that experience of being surprised at the end just one time, but I don’t know if I can hold out. That should be the end of August or begininning of September. Never a dull moment in the Saip household!

    All Star Game!

    Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

    We just got home a few hours ago from a really great trip to St. Louis for the HR Derby and All Star game. I’ve uploaded a ton of photos from both of the events that we went to. The All Star game was amazing and we would recommend that if you ever have the opportunity to go to a game, take it! The pregame ceremonies were great. We got to see Obama, Stan Musial, and all the All Stars for MLB. We even caught glimpses of Snipers on the roof of the stadium. We especially enjoyed being able to share the night with Grandpa and Grandma Saip. It was great to get to go to the game with them. It definitely makes up for missing our World Series Game in ’04.

    Take a few minutes to look through all of the pictures, you won’t be disappointed! Click Here.

    Here are a couple video links too! Stan Musial Entrance | Obama Entrance (Intro) | Intro to Canadian National Anthem With the videos, I wasn’t sure how they would turn out or if I could post them so it’s just snippets. I didn’t realize they were doing the Canadian National Anthem next when I was filming but the drunk guys reaction was comical but unnecessary.

    The end of a long weekend…

    Sunday, July 5th, 2009

    We celebrated the fourth with family and friends here at our house. The weather cleared up just in time for a BBQ. Butcher on the block has the best brats and stuffed mushrooms by the way! We started out playing bags on the wii but did get a few games in outside. John and Robert (Eli) were the reighning champs! We ended up going to see Eve 6 at the fest in Crystal Lake. I now know why they haven’t been popular since high school. We had a good time, but the band sucked if you ask me! The girls even partied til almost 10:30. They both passed out mid concert…guess they though Eve 6 was lame too!

    Today was the laziest day ever! We spent the whole day watching movies with the girls! It was nice to just be at home and relax for once. Matt did take the girls in the pool for a little while tonight so at least we made it outside sometime today. Well I am lucky enough to still have tomorrow off, but poor Matt has to go back to reality tomorrow. We hope all of you had a great holiday weekend!
