Only a few more days…

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

So, this Saturday will mark our 1 Year Wedding Anniversary! The past year has gone by way to quick, it’s hard to believe it’s almost a year already! One very cool thing about this weekend and our anniversary, is that we will be celebrating the marriage of Jessi and Victor on Friday, October 2nd. This is the same DAY we got married last year! Can’t wait to party with them on Friday!

We are looking to spend our Saturday going to the Gold Class Cinemas in South Barrington. Dad and Sue hooked us up with a G.C. and we will finally be using it. From what I can tell on the site, it looks like we might be finally going to see The Hangover. That would be a great movie to have dinner and drinks to! That is of course if Beth decides we must go see Love Happens. Post comments to help us decide!

It’s time to check out Fantasy Football and find some new WR’s! Check back soon for more updates and new photos!

Oh yeah almost forgot, Go CARDINALS! 2009 National League Central Division Champs! Cubs Fans Buy Tickets Here!

TGIF!

She's having a blast! Too Cute!

It’s Friday. Phew… Ella and Kiley were able to hang out with Grandma Marsha and Jill this afternoon at Pump It Up! Ella had a blast and Kiley is still a bit young for the place. I heard Jill had an interesting time keeping up with Kiley seeing as how she is ready to burst . After picking up the girls, we ordered chinese food for dinner and cleaned up a bit. Ella is spending the weekend with her Dad. It’s always tough when she goes and I think Kiley is starting to pick up on it. We mentioned Ella’s name after she left and she pointed to the door and was showing us where Ella went. This should be interesting in a year when Kiley really gets it.

I’m in the process of posting photos to Flickr. We have photos to post from our Door County trips as well as a video from tonight. Kiley got down to Beyonce’s – “All the Single Ladies.”

There are some really cute photos from Door County. I’ve added a few to the main image area on this site. Here is a link to Grandma Sue’s photos on Picasa.

Also, the White Sox scored a great pitcher today with dealing for Jake Peavy! Go Sox! And, Bear training camp started today! Check out what we put together for the Bears and their Camp Coverage.

Here is a video of Kiley feeding the ducks in Door County!

Here is the video of Kiley dancing tonight! Too Cute. I even sing a little…

Another great weekend!

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Well we had another great weekend! This time we were in Door County with Lee and Sue. What a beautiful place to be! We were so lucky to get to stay at a great house that was owned by some wonderful people that Lee and Sue go to church with. The girls even got to go up there Thursday morning with Grandma and Grandpa. Lee and Sue were very brave! Thanks again for that you guys!

We got to do some traditional Door County things and eat lots of food while we were up there for our short trip. Some of those things included: climbing a big tower in Penisula State Park to see the most beautiful view of the entire area; going to Wilson’s for some yummy lunch and ice cream, going shopping at a bunch of little gift shops, going to a traditional fish boil, out to breakfastat Al Johnson’s with the goats on the roof, and grabbing a bunch of candy at the confectionary. It was a blast! Gizmo had a great time with Auntie Allison and Uncle Donnie at their house in Elgin while we were away. Allison doesn’t know if Gizmo ever sleeps

Now its back to reality once again. August is sure to busy a very busy month! First baby Jake is going to arrive on or before 8/4. Jill is being induced on 8/4 if he isn’t here by then. We have birthdays galore with my Mom, Jessy, Nathan, Ben, Me, my Dad, Uncle Mike, Ella, and anyone else that I may have missed. We also have Drew’s wedding, the Daughtry concert, Ben and Jessy and Makayla’s visit, and Ella’s birthday party (which we haven’t really planned yet). All of this while Matt has one of the busiest months ever at work!!! Its sure to be crazy!

Stay Tuned!

New Pics after a busy weekend

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

We hope everyone is staying cool in this heat wave! Here are a few recent pictures from this last weekend at Payton’s birthday party, playing in the backyard in the sprinkler, and father’s day. The girls have vacation bible school this week so they were extremely exhausted tonight. Matt is crazy busy at work and enjoying his new bike. I am trying to get adjusted to summer schedule, and so far, its insane! I am off to bed to rest up for another busy day tomorrow!

Payton’s B-day and backyard fun

Father’s Day

Beth can finally Post!

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

Hey everyone! We had a great day today celebrating father’s day, and we hope you all did as well! Arlington Park started off interesting with the weather, but we were lucky to find a spot inside in the air conditioning for most of the day. We had a great time visiting with everyone and betting on ponies. We won a few races, but Grandpa Lee was the lucky one with his 8′s. After Arlington Park, we went out to dinner at Fridays. We are finally home, girls are in bed, mommy and daddy are relaxing now and watching Matt’s favorite movie of all time Ferris Bueller (on BluRay none the less). And by the way, it doesn’t really look much better than the 1986 version. I have to give a shout out to our Redbirds who happen to be a game and a half ahead in FIRST PLACE! Well I hope everyone enjoys the new site. Look forward to more frequent posts from us with word press.

Too Long…

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

It’s been quite some time since we last posted. Easter has passed and now it’s spring time! Here are a couple links to Grandma Sue’s photos from April/May.

» Kohls Children Museum

» Easter 2009 – St. Louis

We are in the process of uploading our photos from April now and will post them in the next few days. Last Sunday, we spent the day prepping the yard for the summer. We actually spread turf builder and patched the dead grass in the back from the pool. Biggest Mistake Ever that Pool!
