Happy Father’s Day!!

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Happy Father’s Day to all of you daddies out there!!! I would like to wish a very special happy Father’s day to my dad, my father-in-law Lee, and my wonderful hubby and greatest daddy to our 3 beautiful kids!

We had a great day together today!! We had a nice morning at home with the kids. Ella was at her Dad’s house until this morning so we got to sleep in a little (she is our early bird). We then went to meet the family at Congo River mini golf in Schaumburg. We played a “round of golf” with the girls, Grandpa Mark, Grandpa Lee, Grandma Sue, Aunt Jill, and Uncle John. The boys were carried along too. The girls had a blast trying to hit golf balls. Kiley resorted to kicking them into the holes. She also pooped out after about 10 holes and went to join Grandma Marsha in the car. We all went out to lunch at Fridays after that and were joined by Steve and Amber. We all had a lot of fun spending time together!

On our way home, Ella said the cutest thing to Matt. She told him she loved him and he reciprocated. She then responded with “Daddy, but I think I love you more.” We are really all so lucky to have him in our lives!! He is the best husband and father!!

We hope you all had a great day as well!! Check back soon for some pictures from today.

FAIL

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

It’s Tuesday and I’m on the train to work. I haven’t taken the train in about a week and after an expensive parking ticket, I’m going to be taking it more again. Good Times!

Team Saip had a great weekend! We were able to spend the weekend with Nana and Papa and had a blast. All the ladies enjoyed Allison’s Bridal Shower (every time I type that I always think Baby Shower and have to stop myself). However, Beth forgot our camera so we only have a few pics from the Shower. FAIL.

Other than that, I had a great time out with the Boros clan Saturday afternoon. We had the Saips over after the shower and watched the movie Hachi. It’s based on a true story about a Dog and his Master (Richard Gere). Ella loved it and has watched it a few times since.

On Sunday, we had breakfast with Nana and Papa (actually, the whole gang came) and did some stuff around the house. It was a quiet afternoon until the dog got under the fence and Kiley got up from her nap (wetting the bed).

This week is off to a good start with work and hopefully is a quick one. We have many plans this weekend for Easter and it can’t come soon enough! Grandma Debbie’s on Saturday and Aunt Eve’s on Sunday!

Check back soon for a link to all of the professional photos we had taken! I’ve got 300+ posted to Kodak and will post the link later today.

Nana and Papa!

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

Last night, Connor met Grandma and Grandpa Saip for the first time! There are some really great photos of them all together on Flickr! I’ve posted the best one below as Connor decided to smile a bit more last night and almost giggle!

Smiling Baby!

The girls will be off to Auntie Allison’s Bridal Shower in Geneva. Hopefully, it’s a blast and the kids are well behaved! I’m going to spend time with the Boros Clan for Pat’s Birthday and then meet up with the fam at our house later this afternoon. Should be a great day!

Check back later for more photos and updates!

Last Supper…

Disney on Ice

Ok, so the past two weeks have flown by and now I’m back into the office bright and early tomorrow. The past two weeks have been amazing and have let us really come together as a family with our new little bundle of joy! We got to do a lot of cool stuff as a family the past two weeks and Connor fits right in! Be sure to check out all the photos and videos @Flickr!

This past weekend we had Grandpa Lee and Grandma Sue over to celebrate Christmas on Friday night. The girls got some really cool gifts that included an Air Hockey Table! It was a great night to celebrate the holidays. Check out the photos here!

On Saturday, we had a few visitors in the morning, dance class and the girls took off with Aunt Lori and Grandma Debbie to see Disney on Ice! The girls had a great time and even called to ask for to borrow my Credit Card… ha ha! The snow cones were $15 bucks! Check out the photos from Saturday here!

Today, we went out to lunch with John, Jill, Jake and Grandpa Mark. Ella is with her dad today for a quick visit and will be back tomorrow morning. Now, I think it’s off to the store to get some last minute stuff for this week and then we will watch the Grammys!

You should notice some new enhancements to the site with the sidebar. I’ve added a widget that pulls in the most recent 15 photos from flickr! It’s a nice little touch to the site and I’m always looking for more ideas so let me know! Also, added Tag You’re It to the sidebar so that you can filter all the posts by ones you have been tagged in! Have fun finding all the posts and reliving the memories that we have shared together since the blog started!

Connor’s Birthday!

Friday, January 15th, 2010

Connor Lee Saip arrived today at 12:46pm. He is 8lbs 4 oz and 20 inches long. We are so blessed to have him here with us now! Thank you to everyone for their help today and this weekend. We are grateful for everyone’s help with Ella and Kiley! It’s strange not having the girls with us this weekend but it’s what we have to do so we will make the best of it.

Beth and baby are doing great right now and he is nursing at the moment. He has also been sleeping in his crib as opposed to on Mommy or me. We want him to be able to sleep in his crib so that we don’t have him in bed with us unless it’s necessary. We learned from Kiley Bug!

It was great to see everyone who made it out today and look forward to seeing more people this weekend! Check out the posted pics here for a glimpse of Connor Lee Saip!

Black Friday

Friday, November 27th, 2009

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!!!
