    Ellas First Bears Game!

    Ella's First Bears Game!

    Boy, it’s been one interesting week! I just wanted to post photos from the Chicago Bears game last Saturday and from Ella’s 4th Birthday Party! There are tons of photos from both.

    Let’s start with the Chicago Bears game. We decided to take Ella to her first Bears game for her 4th Birthday and she had a blast. The NY Giants were able to get us sideline passes during warmups and it was an amazing experience. Ella is going to think we are going to get on the field for every game we get to go to! Check out the photos here.

    Ella’s 4th Birthday part was the next day and it was tons of fun. Thanks to Aunt Lori and Uncle Joe for letting us have it at their house again in Woodstock. Our nephew Jake was the talk of the party! I don’t think John was even able to hold him the entire party because everyone wanted to get his hands on him.

    Ella's 4th Birthday

    We had a pool, slip n’ slide, bounce house, bags and great food. I wish we could have parties like that every weekend. It was a great way to relax for an afternoon and enjoy family.

    Ella would like to say Thanks to everyone for making her day and birthday very special! Check out the photos here.

    My beautiful Niece!

    My beautiful Niece!

    I just wanted to take a few minutes and post some items that haven’t made it up on the site yet. Here are some photos from the Daughtry Concert as well as when Ben and Jessy were in town! The concert was great and I have some videos you might want to check out if you are a fan of Daughtry. We would like to see him again but on his Fall Tour he won’t be coming to Chicago. I’ve heard this is the second time he has done that.

    Anywho, there is also a cute video of Kiley playing outside and a video of Brian (cousin) putting his face in a cake. I paid him 5 bucks to do it and it was so worth it! We had a great time hanging out with Ben and Jessy along with a tons of Family last weekend. Wish they lived back in IL but they should be moving back soon!

    As for today, I’m going to be spending some time working this morning to make sure a project I’ve been working on goes live on Thursday! It’s shaping up nicely. Beth took the girls to her Kid’s Therapy Baseball Game this morning and then they are off to a slew of errands. Hopefully, Beth doesn’t wear herself out too much today as tonight is going to be amazing.

    I’m going to straighten up the house a bit and then we will be taking Ella to her first Chicago Bears Game for her Birthday! I can’t wait to go tonight. We were able to get Field Passes for the game and I’m SUPER EXCITED for that! Grandpa Lee will be joining us and I can’t wait! I think I’ll say it one more time – I CAN’T WAIT!!!

    One last item before I go, while I was working yesterday a friend let me know on a little secret – the Cardinals are 7 games up on the Cubbies! HA HA HA HA. I haven’t had the chance to follow lately and I definitely know why the Cubby fans have been quite lately. GO CARDINALS!

    Enjoy these photos and check back soon!

    Kiley at her finest!

    We just had a great day with family and friends. We spent the afternoon with Ben and Jessy and Grandma Peg’s house in Aurora. Ella had to go to her dad’s house for the night and her birthday party tomorrow with the Zahn’s. We had a great afternoon hanging out with our niece and nephew. I’m going to post pictures in the morning from today. I’ve also got pics from last weekend to post.

    We were able to watch the Bears game as well. There wasn’t a whole lot going on with Cutlers debut. Oh Well, GO BEARS!

    In the meantime, I’ve got a music video from Paramore to post! ENJOY!

    Saturday!

    We posted our photos from Baby Jake’s Birth! Beth got some crazy closes ups from being in the delivery room that I’m not going to post :) I’ve posted the safe ones and our photos from his first day at home. There are two great shots of the girls in sunglasses! Too cute!

    As for today, we went to visit Grandma Marsha in the hospital. She has been in the hospital because of severe back pain and we just wanted to cheer her up. We are now off to Grandma Debbie’s house to drop off the girls! The girls will be crashing there tonight so Beth and I can go see Daughtry downtown at the Vic Theatre. It’s going to be a great show!!!

    Check back soon for more updates! These next few weeks are going to be super crazy!

    We had our 16 week check up today (at 15 weeks). Pretty uneventful. I have only gained half a pound. Guess it’s because I am so busy with the girls. Who knows. We got to hear the heart beat which was awesome! It is always an amazing thing! We scheduled our ultrasound for September 1st. So excited!!! We can’t wait to find out if baby Saip is a boy or girl. I am still thinking boy, but we will see.

    John and Jill went in tonight to start induction! Baby Jake should make his debut sometime tomorrow!!! I can NOT wait! We are hoping that everything goes well for them and we have a happy healthy little addition to our growing family…and that he comes quickly and easily for Jill’s sake!!! We are all so excited!!! We will hopefully post some pictures of Jake tomorrow!
