Snow Bunnies

The boys took advantage of the snow fall. Chloee got in on the action. For two hours they slid down the hill in the backyard and chanced after each other with cap guns.

Christmas with the Family

Christmas Joy

Dinner with Family

What a great night this was. We had brothers, sisters, cousins and nephews at this dinner. It was the first time all of us had gotten together. What a wonderful time. We have plans to do it again after the holidays.

Fighter Pilot Austin

Austin found his new passion. His dad took him to see Fighter Pilot's for his birthday and now he wants to be in the Army.

Rascal Flatts and Darius Rucker Concert

Great concert!!!! 8 of us had the opportunity to go. Darius put on a great show. Chad was super excited when he started singing Hootie and the Blow Fish songs. Rascal Flatts brought down the roof!!! They were amazing!

LET IT RAIN

We had " alittle" rain the last few weeks. On this day the kiddos and little Chloee took some time to enjoy the rainfall! What a great time!

Labor Day Camping 2009

Everyone got together this year for a big camping trip over the Labor Day weekend. It was so great. We had brothers, sisters, cousins, nieces and nephews all in one place. Great memories for a great weekend. Best memory of all is "white-lightning"!!!

The BIG 30!!

This was my year to turn 30! I wasn't looking forward to it one bit. So to bring in my 30s..... or leave my 20s with a bang my husband and I went skydiving the day before my 30th birthday. Upon our return home I saw a big party set up for me. My loving husband new how upset I was about turning 30 , he through me a surprise party. Many of my good friends made it out and so did great family.
Thank you honey for a wonderful party!

Soccer Finals

Austin's team made it to through the first round in the Championship games. In round two they ended up going into an overtime and then a sudden death kickoff, but lost by 1 point. They had a great year. They won 9 out of the 11 games. Not bad!

Our Vacation

Chad and I got some much needed time together. In the first picture we are on the beach in New Buffalo. It was hot but wonderful to have nothing to do.

This picture I am on my first ever train ride! I was OK until the train started shaking all over the place. We had to go through a few tunnels. I wasn't so keen about that either. But I made it!

Here Chad and I were having our last meal before heading back to the real world. I love this! You can tell we had a lot of sun because we're both burnt. But it was all worth the time together this weekend.

Yankees & White Sox Game

What fun!!! My boss took us to a White Sox/ Yankee game! It was so cold but lost of fun! We did tailgating before the game. My bosses family is so crazy! But a blast!


Derek Jeter!!!!!

The whole gang: Chad, Sandy, Chris, Tarrah, Liz, Mimi, Pat,
Lucy and baby Ella

My Lil' Soccer Man

It's a new year and Austin's team is already off to a great start. Austin's first game was on 07/25/09. They won 6-0!!!! I am so proud of Austin, he has grown so much in this sport. He's finally coming into his own. He has great foot work and his coaches are very impressed with the fact that Austin has great control hitting the ball with both feet. I can't wait to see how he developes throughout this season.

The Jordan Wedding

What a fun wedding! My best friend Melissa married my cousin Shawn! This was a very fun wedding Melissa and Shawn were married at Melissa's dads house. The wedding was very short and sweet, but very much perfect for them. Their reception was right after. We played corn hole!! Corn hole at a wedding! Who would have thought, but it worked for them. The kids had a moon bounce to play in all night. We had music and great food.
I am so happy for my friend and my cousin. They are so cute together.

Tin Caps Game with Friends

This is the 3rd Tin Caps game Chad and I have attended. It's always great to bring some friends along. We had the Roberts with us this night! They are great company to have. They seem to know everyone everywhere we go.
The Tin Caps lost this night, but the we still had a great time!

The Roberts Family: Tarrah, Chris, Baby Ella!

Taylor Swift and Keith Urban......

TAYLOR!!!! I love her! This was the best concert I have ever been to. First I was surprised with FREE tickets to the concert! That in it's self was amazing! and I say amazing but words just can't describe how I felt. WELL!!! My sister and I were waiting for the concert to start, we had about 2hrs to spare. So, we decided to have a cocktail until then. I not more then got the drink took a sip and I was told by Dave from 93.3 (who gave me the tickets) to get downstairs NOW!! Well of course I'm going to get my butt down there. And wouldn't you know it, Dave gave me BACKSTAGE PASSES TO SEE TAYLOR!! I kid you not! I couldn't contain myself.
Let me just say that my dreams came true! She was so nice! Very tall but very nice. I must say, the girl is still very humble!
Here I am going on and on about Taylor when Keith was there to. However, my pure excite is all for her. I have seen Keith a few other times. But I do have a story about him this evening! Keith came down into the audience and walked right in front of me. Yes, I know. Yes, he is just as sexy in person. I did jump over a wall and leap over some chairs to get this close to him!!
Once again GREAT SHOW!!

NKOTB

What can I say! NKOTB!!! This surprisingly was an awesome concert! It brought back all the memories of my childhood! I was actually injured at this concert, Joey came down into the audience and of course I had to run to him. After jumping over chairs and running people over, I was able to get close enough to get the photo below! I know I'm crazy! But oh he was so adorable.
It was a great concert with great friends.
