1st Annual Chili Cookout!

Ton's of Food, Wine and FUN!

Check out the this table! Matt found the best seat in the place to get a sample of everything!

Sadie made her first family appearance. I think she dipped into her defense mechanisms when she saw us and fell asleep! It's a lot to take in :)










This was the table to be at!

Still sleepin' but oh so cute!

Snuggling by the fire, clear skies and crisp air! S'More's and the boys climbing all over the tractor. Pitch dark football, rolling down the hill, games, chasing and flashlights! I'm surprised the cops weren't called :)

They all need modeling careers! Hope to continue the tradition next year!

Weekend with Dylan and Ronan!

We're going to the zoo!

Liz and Dylan hangin' out on the tiger...grrrr!

The Ron-man checkin' out what it's like to be a giraffe!









The boys! Too cute!







Lunch time!




Although Ronan was born in California, you can tell he's got that Wisconsin blood in him! Tempt him with soda and a straw...nahhh. Tempt him with Miller lite...oh yeah!




We hit Trainfest on Sunday to check out all the new Thomas sets!














As you can see, it was a big hit and we left in time for daddy to see most of the Packer game and Squirt to get a good nap in!

NEW HAIRCUT!

Hey daddy? What doing? (squirts favorite phrase right now!)

I'm not so sure about this!?!








Ok, that's enough. I've had it!










Loud noises and hair falling everywhere...poor guy!








Daddy got a time out for taking all of his hair off! Although he quickly regretted taking the curls off. Mommy's thrilled will it!


They made up quickly and Jackers now looks like a little boy. Now we have to get the grandma's to forgive us!

Yeah pictures!

I can post as many pics as i want now without using the entire blog! More to come!

More wedding fun!

Wedding Picks!

Finally! Some, but definitly not all of our wedding pics! I'll have more to post, especially since i figured out how to put them in a slide show. Keep watching!

Fierce Gorilla!

Halloween Part II

They get ready to go out. Dylan the Spider and Jack the Gorilla get pumped up!






Gotta check to make sure there's enough room for all the loot!







They even paid for a ride. You have to travel in style!





"TRICK OR TREAT!"














The monkey.






Making sure they aren't missing anything.

Happy Halloween - Part 1

We had to make sure baby Elliot was clean before putting on our costume. Priorities!







I think he dumped more of his water than actually played with him. Poor Baby Elliot :(

The scary gorilla!

The boys.



This was before he realized he was getting candy, you can imagine the smile when he actually got it! Daddy and Uncle Dan worked hard on getting him to actually say "trick or treat", the Thank you's came naturally...good boy!









Scary ROAR!!!!!!!!!
























I can't believe it...candy's in my bucket!

Checkin out the stash! He was more than overwhelmed at the site of all of the candy. He was so hyped up on the way home he was bouncing off the walls singing, dancing sugar craze! Don't worry Mima, he brushes his teeth 2 times a day now!

Rib Roast

I didn't get a picture of the master griller or the awesome food the followed...doa! I thought this picture gives you an idea how things went though. P.S. Betsy, I think I made my best apple pie ever, I'll have to try it out on you guys at Thanksgiving!
It was supposed to rain so i thought painting pumpkins would keep the kids planted for at least 20 minutes. Turned out, it was gorgeous outside and grandma's exercise ball (that she uses so often, that's why it's at my house) was a wonderful way to launch you across the lawn!

Jordan concentraiting on his masterpiece.

Amanda tried a little of the paint and then tried painting herself a little, all in all it was good fun!

Don't worry dad, he only used a little pink on his pumpkin and quickly moved to a manly blue.

WEDDING!

The wedding is done, we're officially hitched. I will post pictures when my body stops screaming at me to sleep!

Thanks to all who helped out and everyone who came from out of town to help celebrate! Hope you had a good time!

Relax

When i get up in the morning I like to snuggle up in my big green blanket and watch "Baby" or "Shrek".

I've got to gear up for my big day ahead of me of...
Motorcross!
