What a great Thanksgiving! We made it into St. Charles around 4:30pm yesterday and the girls did great in the car. We had great food waiting for us and the whole family was at Grandmas. We played a few games of Scrabble and had a great night.
The Seilers had to take off a little early for their second thanksgiving dinner at the country club but we will get to hang out with Sammy and Tanner all day today. I know Ella and Kiley love playing with the boys.
Ella is currently helping Grandma out with breakfast (animal pancakes)! She loves making animal pancakes and is now making a baby turtle. After breakfast, we are heading to the bowling alley so I can take Dad’s money. 
After bowling, it’s off to Aunt Teri’s for dinner and movies. She always has something up her sleeve so I’m sure it’s going to be a ton of fun!
Check back soon for more updates and pictures!!!

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.
Team Saip at the All Star Game!

So, it’s the 4th already! We are getting ready to have 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!
