July Roundup

Our July was action packed which explains why I didn't get a chance to update.

 

Uncle Fruh's house is the greatest because the kids LOVE going there and fishing and being on the river

 

Blake caught a catfish

 

Brooke and her friend Evie got to experience the carnival near Goddard

My cousin Darrina LOVES my Dad

 

My cousin, Amy and my brother and I

 

Added my cousin Brian to the mix

 

All of us cousins (minus Kali and Darrina)

 

We took the kids to a "fancy" dinner at Cooper's Hawk

 

Then after dinner, we naturally went to Cabela's

 

Blake got to go with Brady and his family to a White Sox game and by the pictures clearly had no fun at all, hahahaha.

June Happenings

Technically, its what we have been up to from the last week in May through today.

 

Over Memorial Day weekend we hit the Three Oaks beach

 

Then headed to my parents for s'mores

 

We also had the Yemm's over and took a rare picture of Wendy and I

 

Then back to my parents where we set up the pool and the kids "surfed"

 

Anytime we go to Nicks the kids want their picture taken on the bench

 

Blake's last day of Kindergarten

 

Look how much he has grown

 

Wendy, Sean and I went to the Taylor Swift concert. First up was drinks/dinner at Hampton Social

 

Sorry, I can't rotate this picture

 

The Crystal Lake beach got a new playground and we have been breaking it in

 

Back at Nicks for silly pictures

 

Karyn had her birthday at the Arlington Racetrack and us girls all dressed up for the occassion.

I am so glad to have this group of ladies (and their husbands). We have so much fun together and our kids all love one another. Friends for life!!



8 years

6.18.10

 

8 years we have been married. In some respects it feels like it has been forever and in other ways I blinked and here we are. I am so glad that I started the tradition of us taking a picture on our anniversary so we can look back and see how amazing we have aged (ha!)
