Father's Day

This is Steve's first Father's Day so Jacob and I wanted to make it special. We woke up early (actually Jacob wakes up early every day) and went and got Steve his favorite breakfast...biscuits and gravy. We then came home and got his gifts and food out, then woke him up.

Rise and shine!

After breakfast we packed up and meet the family at Bass Lake. It was a really nice day! The weather was great and the food was delicious. The kids enjoyed spending time in the lake.

Enjoy the pictures of the day...

The kids loving the lake!

Jacob's First Hair Cut

Jacob got his first hair cut last week. He looks like a little boy now! My mom came with me and we took Jacob to Jessica's hair salon. Jacob did well for the most part. He had a hard time staying still after a little while but hung in there. Enjoy the picture below...


Putting the cape on. He wasn't a huge fan of this.


Here we go!


What is going on here?


Thanks grandma for coming!


Thanks auntie Jess for doing my hair!!


Big boy!

Wisconsin Dells Trip 2009

Steve, Jacob, and I along with the Mason Family went on a family vacation to Wisconsin Dells. We stayed at the Atlantis Resort where there was an indoor water park for kids. It was perfect for the kids. Kelsey loved the water slides, Addie loved walking and splashing in the water, and Jacob liked floating in his crab inter tub. We also spent our time going to Mount Olympus which was a huge indoor/outdoor water park and theme park. The only bad thing about this place was the water was freezing and while we were doing the lazy river, Steve noticed his cell phone in the pocket of his swim trunks. Needless to say his phone is now dead. One day we went to the deer park where you could feed the deer. Lots of deer would just walk up to you to be fed. This was really neat. We also went on a duck boat ride which took us through really scenic spots of Wisconsin. We all had a good time but were ready to come home after a few days of screaming kids and no sleep!

Indy 500 Trip 2009

Every May Steve's dad gets tickets for the Indy 500 race and a big group of us go. This year was a bit different. Bud and Eileen stayed back with Cheryl, Missy, and Sam, while watching Jacob for the day. Jacob loved his time with his grandparents and auntie, and cousins. Steve and I went to the race with his Uncle Brian, Aunt Penny, and Peg and Dick, who are friends of the family. We met up with Ariel and Haley and Logan. Ariel got hospitality tickets so we were able to eat and drink all day for free! We all had a great time. The weather was great! Steve and I spend the rest of the weekend with his family.


Jacob on the way to Indy...10 minutes after this picture was taken he had enough of his car seat.

Lots of people...lots of drunk people after the race!

Here we are sitting at our seats during the race. It was a hot one!


The kiddies enjoying an ice cream treat taking a breather from the race.

Logan taking a rest from the heat. We were all very thankful for the extra room in front of us so we could stretch out.

Richard Petty was at our tent. He took a picture with all the kids and signed some tickets.

Steve and Ariel wearing their earphones....hehehehe

Cute picture of Haley and Logan.
