Good Friends

Having fun dressing up with our friends Savina and Sammy.

New Year's Eve

2009-01-04T14:45:00.002-06:00

To ring in the New Year's, the kids and I went to Brookfield Zoo with a couple of our friends. It was bitter cold, and we where crazy, but the kids had a blast and the zoo is just stunning with all the lights. The count down was at 8:00 so we where home before my bed time!

Christmas Day

2009-01-04T14:27:00.005-06:00

Well, Christmas was not how we pictured it. We all got the flu. We where very worried Santa may come. Both Mommy and Daddy where very sick. Jake did not end open his gifts until 11:00. However, it makes you thankful that we all are very healthy. Santa did come, with lots of gifts. Keegan got her camera, and Jake his Batman. It was also very important for the kids to start to learn the spirit of giving. So we took the kids to the store and let them pick out a bunch of toys and we went and donated them to Toys for Tots. I was very proud of them, and hope to do more giving with them soon.

Disney World

2009-01-04T14:21:00.005-06:00

December 11-15th we all flew down to Fl to visit our good friends, the Sier's. Since they are so close we went to Disney World and SeaWorld. We had an awesome time!! Keegan and Jake both loved Disney World, and we can not wait to take them back again hoepfully really soon. Keegan saw Cinderella and is convienced she waived just to her. Jake wanted to go on all the rides, but his favorite was Buzz Light Year.

Christmas time is here again

2008-11-25T06:38:00.004-06:00

OK. I know it is early, but the kids where so excited for Christmas this year. They kept going into the storage and pointing at the Christmas tree and asking to put it up since it started snowing. So Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Desiree, Jake and Keegan all decided to start Christmas a little early this year.

Christine's wedding

Fall Fun at School

2008-11-01T18:33:00.000-05:00

The kids got to dress up at school for their full festival. They sang several songs to the parents and then we had a party. Jake and Keegan seemed so old standing up there and singing. I was so proud of them. I wish you all could have been there to see them.

Happy Halloween!!

2008-11-01T18:09:00.000-05:00

Happy Halloween!! We all had such a great time this year. We spent so much more time trick or treating, for over an hour. Then we came home and sat out front handing out candy. I don't know what Keegan and Jake enjoyed more getting or giving candy!! I can not believe it was so nice out.

Trick or Treat Camping

2008-11-01T18:04:00.000-05:00

The kids went camping with my family for one day for a little trick or treating. They had a blast with all of their cousins.

They are getting so big

2008-10-04T21:15:00.000-05:00

I honestly never thought we would continue to have so many "firsts" with the kids being 3 years old, but this weekend we have had so many. Today Jake took his first nap without any pull up's on. He had not had any accidents at nap time all week. We went to the pool and Keegan is now putting her entire body underwater including her head and swimming just like a big girl. And I got to admit for a pretty long time too, my heart could not take too much. We also booked our first family trip to FL in December. We are so excited to see Mickey's House and visit our friends down there. Keegan has already told me that she wants to go by herself. I am continually reminded how blessed we are to have such a beautiful family.

Pretty Princess

Wearing her new skirt and puttig on mommies crown from my wedding, Keegan proceeds to dance and sing the night away!! And then tells me to take pictures of her. I have a diva on my hands.

Rainy Days - September 5th

The kids loved playing in the rain. They had a great time.

Go Bears

September 7th 2008- First Bears Game of the new season and the kids already know what to do. Wearing their "Go bears" shirts they cheer on their team. Let's hope they give us something to cheer about this season.

Thomas the Train

2008-09-04T17:34:00.000-05:00

For their birthday, Aunt Theresa bought us tickets to Thomas the Train in Union, IL. Jake was in heaven with all the Trains. He even got to ride the actual Thomas the Train himself. Keegan saw a clown on the train and would not get on.
