Gotta love boys but sometimes it just melts my heart to look at my adorable little girl!!

Memory Lane...

Here are a couple cute pics of Halloween a couple years ago. Jacob was a dog, Caden a dragon, and Emily a pink kitty!

Predator's Preview

I am just catching up on posting some fun stuff we have done. A few weeks ago, I took the kids to the Putnum for the preview of a new exhibit that was opening up....Predators!

The boys and I drank snake venom and Emily drank some blood (green and red soda, of course!)

We had fun with the interactive exhibits too....

Fun in Chicagoland!

Last weekend we went to the burbs of Chicago for a fun family trip in celebration of 10 happily married years together!
We had a blast and here are some cute pics of the part the kids loved the most....the pool! I loved the shopping part but didn't think pics of that would be too interesting for anyone to see. LOL

We've been FLAMINGOED!!!

I woke up one morning and imagine my surprise when I looked outside!! I thought perhaps we had moved to Florida overnight! We were suddenly hosting a flock of bright pink birds in our front yard thanks to the graciousness of some friends.

The kids LOVED their new pets!
