It's been a long while since we have last posted on the website! So much has happened since Luke's 1st Birthday! Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Birthdays and January have all come and gone! It's now February and we are making a promise to post more on the website moving forward!
Check back soon and often for Team Saip pictures, videos and updates on our fun filled adventures!
Got to try something new today! Now that I’ve been working downtown, I thought it would be a ton of fun to take a half day and catch a ballgame! The Cardinals were in Chicago for a 3 game series against the Cubs. We caught the last game of the 3 game set and boy was it a ton of fun!
I went with a few guys from work and had a great time. Weather was awesome since it had been raining and cool for a couple weeks before the game. We sat in the bleachers and caught a lot of sun! Ran into Caitlin at Murphy’s Bleachers and was able to hang out with her for a bit before the game and afterwards!
The Cardinals ended up winning the game 9-1. Holliday had a HR and the runs came pouring in during the 2nd and 7th! So glad we got to see a win because usually when I go to the games against the Cubs they lose!
We hope everyone had a great Labor Day Weekend! I know Team Saip did! We enjoyed a quick weekend in St. Louis to catch a Cardinals game. The Cardinals took 2 out of 3 from the 1st place Reds. We saw a great game that didn’t go 20 innings! Matt Holliday hit a 3-Run Homerun to win it for the Cardinals! That’s what the Reds get for walking Pujols to put two men on.
Also, we had a great time crashing at Aunt Teri and Uncle Tom’s house and spending time with all of the family! Ella and Kiley had a blast playing with Great Grandma, Sam and Tanner. This morning, Ella said she didn’t want to come back home today! Here is the link to photos from this weekend!
Now, it’s on to the work week. Atleast, it’s a quick 4 day week!
This post is a little late but I wanted to still put it up! We had a great weekend in July when the Cardinals were in town playing the Cubs! On Saturday, July 24th, we threw our 2nd Annual Cubs/Cardinals viewing party at the Cubby Bear in Wrigleyville. We had a smaller crowd than last year but the new faces certainly made it a great time! The Cubs ended up winning the game but it didn’t matter we still had a great time! Tom, Austin, Keith, Chris and Amanda were all introduced to the family shot!
Special thanks to the everyone who helped with watching the kids for us! Kiley was in Madison, WI with Grandpa Lee and Grandma Sue. Ella was at a Baby Shower with Grandma Marsha and Grandpa Mark. Connor was at home with Grandma Debbie!
The very same weekend a few of us from the Sports Department at Americaneagle.com headed to the Sunday Night game! We have seats in the left field bleachers first row! It was a great game with the Cardinals winning it in extra innings with a HR by Felipe Lopez! I was hoping to get on TV but didn’t seem to. I did catch a glimpse of us in highlight video on MLB.com for Pujols HR. You have to look close at the end of the clip in the upper left corner. There is a fan in a cardinals hat with his arms spread out talking crap to the guys he’s with! That would be me!!!
We would like to officially announce that we are having a baby BOY!!! We couldn’t be more excited about the addition of a little man to our family! I kind of had a feeling all along that it was a boy, but it is so great to finally know for sure! We feel truly blessed to have 2 beautiful little girls and to now be expecting a healthy baby boy!!! No, we don’t have a name picked out yet, but it won’t be too much longer until we do I’m sure. Of course we would have been happy with a little girl too, but it feels perfect to be having a son to complete our family! I haven’t decided if I am ready for a little boy, but guess I have to be huh!!! I know it will be completely different. Jill laughs at me every time I change Jake’s diaper.
Matt can’t wait to have a side kick to terrorize this house (as he says). We will have a Cardinals/Bears/Sox fan on our hands for sure! He can’t wait to teach him all about sports! My house might be over run with sports gear!!!
Thank you to everyone for your overwhelming congratulations!!! We really appreciate that you all are just as excited as we are! We can’t wait until January!!!
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!
