Happy Birthday Grandpa!

We hope you have a great day and we can't wait to see you again and show you all of our new tricks!

The White Sox play tonight so I had to get Cole all dressed-up...this is actually Ella's shirt from when she was little! Glad I got to use it again!!

Happy Birthday Uncle Collin

Happy Birthday Collin!!

We hope you have a great birthday and wish we could be there with you! We can't wait to see you at Christmas!

Back to the park!

Another beautiful day...another day at the park!! I am really going to miss this when the weather turn colder!!

Zoo

Cole is all ready to go!!

The girls are all ready too!!

We had a really great time at the zoo today and the kids all enjoyed it! It was strange though, not many of the anilmals were out?? But it was fun anyway!

We are so excited because David, Sarah, Kylie and Natalie are going to come and spend the night at our house while they are here so that Natalie can sleep in Cole's crib. I know the girls are going to have a ball together!

Sue, Lenny, Sarah, David, Kylie, and Natalie all came in town today from Chicago to visit and attend a wedding on Saturday. We had a barbque and hung out outside and even made a "fire" (it was more like a little spark!!) in the fire pit. The girls played together and had a ball. We are planning on hitting the zoo tomorrow...hope for good weather!!

We met up with Amber, Fallyn and Charlie for some playing at the park and then to Chick' Fil A for lunch. The girls had so much fun and they both ate well too...which is always a BONUS!! Thanks guys for meeting us!!!

Reading

Ella decided that she wanted to read to Cole as he sat in his bumbo seat. He just watched her so contently, it was too cute! The I decided that I was going to try to take a picture of Cole, like one I have of Ella and see how much they look alike, but now I can't find the ones of Ella...but I'll post it when I find it!

Bri's Baby Shower

Today I went to Bri's baby shower. It was beautiful!! Miss Tessa is due the middle of November and she has so many wonderful things to come home to.

PS-I think that these pic of me are AWFUL...but Bri looks so stinkin' CUTE!!!

Poets and Pirates

I love Kenny Chesney!!! I can't thank Angie enough for offering to share her birthday present with me! The concert was great!! I think that Keith Urban was just as good as Kenny and I would LOVE to see either one of them again. It was also really cool to see Lucas Oil for the first time. When we got there the roof and window were closed but after Keith started they opened them...the weather was beautiful!!

Bella's Party

Izabella had her birthday party today, which was supposed to be held outside, but of course, it decided to rain this morning. We all had a blast inside anyways. Alli always knows how to throw a party...great food, lots of toys for the kids and a whole lotta laughing!! Bella has a ton of great new things to play with and I know that Ella cannot wait until she can join her!

Happy Birthday Izabella!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Izzy-Bella!!
We have loved spending every minute we can with you and cannot believe what a great little girl you are. You can always make us giggle with your adorable singing and dancing! You are such a gift to your mommy and daddy and we cannot thank them enough for including us in your life!!

We hope you have a great day, and cannot wait to see you ar your party!!

Colts vs Bears

We had some friends over tonight to watch the first ever regular season game played in Lucas Oil Stadium which jsut happened to be the Colts vs. the Bears. Of course, the kiddos had to sport their Bears attire all day, even while we ran some errands...which got us a few dirty looks and a few "Go Bears!" too!! The Bears were victorious!! Scott was proud!!

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

He rolled over!!!! Yeah!!! He was getting over on his side, but just couldn't figure out what to do with his arms, but he finally did it! Doesn't he look proud!

First Day of School!

Ella had her first day of school EVER this morning. She is in child's day out at our church, Geist Christian on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:30-1:30p. She is the youngest one in the class, so hopefully she will do ok. She did great this morning...walked right in and went straight for the play kitchen and never looked back!! My biggie girl!! (Sniff Sniff!!)

Doesn't she look cute with her "pack-pack" and lunch bag! She put the back pack on at home and she fell over...it had nothing in it!!

Going back!

It was not as awful as I thought it was going to be...going back to work. I actually kind of felt alive again. Using my brain for something other than trying to remember which side Cole nursed from last and when the last time Ella ate any vegetables felt invigorating, not to mention haveing full conversations that didn't get interupted by the words Mommy or someone crying. I did notice that I thought about them alot and wondered how they were. I hope that this new situation works out for everyone and that we will figure out a babysitting situation. But until then...thank you to everyone who is helping out while we are still working on things!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY!!!

We hope you have a great birthday and I am sooo sorry that I have to go back to work today! We will celebrate BIG this weekend!! I am sure you can never get tired of hearing it but, you are an amazing husband and an awesome father and I cannot thank you enough for everything you do!!

The Antcliffs

We had the Antcliff's over for dinner tonight. The girls played together so well and even shared their toys with Cole. We enjoy getting together with them so much and we don't do it often enough!
