    Great Day!

    Saturday, November 7th, 2009

    Today was a great day weather wise and Team Saip did a ton of stuff! First, we went to pre-bowl for my league in Hoffman Estates. Ella, Kiley and Beth got in on the action and bowled a game too. I didn’t do too bad but could have done better. It’s always interesting trying to pre-bowl and keep a good pace going.

    After that, we came home and ate lunch. The girls took a nap and then it was off to Scott and Ann’s. We have a great visit and Julia is adorable. Check out the pics!

    It’s off to bed now to get up early for the Bears Game! We are dropping the girls off at Grandpa Lee and Grandma Sue’s bright and early. Then it’s off to tailgate with Allison and Donnie! GO BEARS!

    I’ll leave you with this video!

    Happy Anniversary!

    Sunday, October 4th, 2009

    Yesterday was a great day! The weather wasn’t the greatest and we were a bit tired from Jessi’s wedding on Friday night but all and all it was a great day! I got Beth her favorite – Red Roses! She got me a Bears Polo, it’s love :)

    We went and saw The Hangover at Gold Class Cinemas. That place is AWESOME! I totally recommend it for a night out. Great way to see a movie. Today we are going to start planning for our trip to NY next weekend. We need to find some cool things to do while we are out there. I just hope the weather will cooperate.

    Alrighty, time to hit the shower and pick up the girls from Grandpa Lee and Grandma Sue. Bears game at noon. Bear Down!

    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!

    A few hours…

    My beautiful Niece!

    My beautiful Niece!

    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!

    Enjoy these photos and check back soon!

    Kiley at her finest!

    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!
