Spring!

Ahhhh, the weather is getting to be a bit nicer and Spring is in the air! We are looking forward to some of stuff planned in the next few weekends. We have our trip to Florida next weekend for Mason's Baptism, Memorial Day is the following weekend and then we have talked about running a 5K on 6/10! Better start getting prepared for all of these events!

Check back soon and often for Team Saip pictures, videos and updates on our fun filled adventures!

    4th of July!

    Saturday, July 4th, 2009

    So, it’s the 4th already! We are getting ready to haveĀ  people over today for a bbq. It’s raining right now so it will be interesting to see how this plays out. The usual clan is heading over – Grandma Debbie, Grandma Marsha, Grandpa Mark, John, Jill, Jake (in womb), Donny, Derrik, Mary, Grayce, and Gretchen. Lauren and Robert (looks a lot like Eli Manning) from Beth’s work are coming as well! Happy 4th to all and look for pictures from today tomorrow!

    As for yesterday, Ella and I spent the morning helping Ashley move out of the city. She is moving up to Madison to be with Fletcher. I still don’t know why… LOL. Ella was a great helper and Ashley’s mom gave her $10 because of how helpful she was. I’m thinking it’s because she’s too cute! After we got back from Chicago, Team Saip headed out to a festival in Crystal Lake. Kiley rode on the Ferris wheel at 17 Months Old! She has no fear and was just saying “Weeeeee” the whole time. Beth and I couldn’t believe it. We came home and spent the night getting ready for the party today. Cut the lawn, put up the pool, and played outside with the girls. It was a great time (except for mowing the lawn).

    Big news in MLB, Pujols hit a grand slam (31st Homerun) as the Cardinals beat the Reds! Grandma and Grandpa Saip will get to see an awesome All Star game next weekend. Hopefully, we will be able to get the two extra tickets!

    Here are some photos that John posted on Flickr from their baby shower! Here are photos from 7/3!

    One more day…

    Who can work from home with Kiley :)

    Who can work from home with Kiley :)

    So, we only have one more day at work until the holiday weekend. I had to work from home today because we didn’t have a sitter for Kiley and she was really good. I only had to apologize on one call this morning with a client so I consider it a good day. Who can get any work done with this beautiful baby at home!?!

    Ella has gotten to spend some quality time with grandma marsha this week. They went swimming today at an indoor pool near her house today. We can’t wait to see her tomorrow night and party!

    During the work day, I got into an interesting conversation about Albert Pujols. He hit 2 home runs last night and deserves tons of credit for the first player in mlb history to hit 30 home runs in their first 9 seasons. So, I posted on twitter this update and it started conversation about steriods on facebook. You know, I get that he came up through the minors when people were using steroids. He is the one guy that I don’t suspect. But with the media today, everything is under scrutiny. You have to wonder about some guys out there in the majors but I feel Pujols is different. He has raw talent and has produced since day one. I might eat my words one day but I believe he is one of the players that didn’t take ‘roids. Go Cardinals!

    The 4th is coming up soon and we realized we didn’t tell anyone that we will BBQ at our house on Saturday. Last years party was a blast so for those of you that would like to come out, please do so! I don’t think we will have the slip n slide but bags, beer and brats will be on tap! Hope to see you on Saturday!
