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!
The past two weekends have been HOT HOT HOT! I’m not a huge fan of this weather but we have made the best of it with time in the pool and cooking out with friends and family.
We spent time last weekend at Aunt Eve’s house in the pool, went out to Bristol, WI for a visit with The Elliott’s and then spent time this weekend with Allison and Donnie while they were in town. It’s always a blast spending time with everyone!
Here is a great photo from today!
Check back soon for more updates!
Kiley and Ella had their Spring Dance Recital this past weekend! We had a great night of rehearsal the night before and the girls were super excited.
On Saturday, we got ready for the recital and got Connor a nap in before. Beth and the girls headed out around 1 to get there by 1:30pm. Beth got them ready and we found out 5 minutes before the show started that it started at 2pm. Beth and I thought all along it started at 3pm and let everyone know to be there by 3.
So, to our surprise, it started at 2pm and a few of us missed the Ella and Kiley perform! Grandpa Mark, Grandma Marsha, Jill, John and Jake made it in time to see Kiley. Grandma Debbie, Grandpa Lee and Grandma Sue made it for the second half and everyone got to see Ella, Kiley and Me do the Family Dance! We rocked it!
We went out for dinner afterwards to Georgios in Crystal Lake! It was a lot of fun!
We did learn a valuable lesson that day and that is to pay attention to show start times 
Videos are posted on Flickr! Pictures to come soon!
Team Saip wants to wish everyone a Happy Easter! We’ve had a great weekend to spend time with family and some nice(r) weather!
Yesterday, we spend the day at Aunt Lori’s for an awesome Easter Egg Hunt! The Easter Bunny was there and so were a ton of kids! Our kids had a great time and had a lot of fun collecting the eggs and hanging out with family! We colored eggs last night and watch the Charlie Brown Easter Beagle special!
Ella and Kiley got up early this morning to see what the Easter Bunny had brought them. Ella got a Cinderalla playset and Kiley got Baby All Gone. She had been asking for a friend for her Baby Alive doll! Connor got a Cardinals Tee, some new sippy cups and a chuck truck playset.
Today, we are headed to Aunt Eve’s for another egg hunt and to spend time with family!
Check back soon for pictures!
After Disneyland on Monday night, we packed up and got ready for our venture home. We had to drop of the rent a car by 8am and were all checked in ready to go by 9ish. Our flight was at 10am and we were ready to come home. It was a great vacation and all we had to do was make the dreaded flight home. Beth and I were both anxious as to how Connor would be considering his flight there!
But… to our surprise… he passed out right as we took off and slept the entire way home! It was a great flight home and boy were we glad to be back! Minus, the weather of course
Again, just a quick Thank you! to all involved in making the trip possible. Thanks to Grandma Marsha and Grandpa Mark for watching Gizmo. Dean and Donny for taking us and picking us up from the Airport. All of our family in California for making the visits as fun as they were! And last but not least, Allison and Donnie for being perfect hosts and sharing the vacation with us! It was a blast and something we will never forget!

We had Kiley and Connor’s Birthday Parties a few weeks after their birthday this year. Everyone had a great time and there was a huge turnout! Thank you to everyone who was able to join us for their birthday! They got tons of cool gifts and had a great time playing with everyone. Kiley’s favorite gift had to be the baby bunk beds!
Aunt Lori, Grandma Debbie and Beth out did themselves by making sports and cheerleader themed cupcakes for dessert! They turned out great and the homemade frosting was awesome!
Here are pictures from the event!

Today, Beth and I have been married for 2 years! Grandma Saip sent a card and said 60 years would be here before we knew it! They are too cute!
We spent the weekend with the kids and family. Friday night, we grilled out and played outside. On Saturday, we went to the eye dr and visited with Grandma Marsha. Today, we went to the petting zoo, Rookies for lunch and to Randy’s for a few rides with Grandma Debbie. Now, it’s time to sit down and watch the Bears take on the NY Giants! Thanks to all who wished us a Happy Anniversary! We have the best family and friends!
