Blankets for Ronald McDonald House

Great Grandma Hill sent Addison money to donate to the Ronald McDonald House.  She decided to do two fleece blankets.  Thanks to the help and tutorial from Jo Jo, she successfully made them! We are so proud of her giving heart!  

Thanksgiving

We had a great thanksgiving!  It is always nice when our Illinois family comes to celebrate with us!  We had a full house, full stomachs and full hearts! 

Chocoholic Frolic

Addison and I had a girls weekend up in the cities.  We stayed in a hotel and went to the MOA.  Addison even got to go swimming at 8:30 at night.  Then we ran the chocoholic frolic this morning.  A fun 5K with chocolate at the end!  Loved my time with her!  

Halloween

We had another great Halloween!  The Mitchell's came over for pizza and trick or treating.  A fun time was had by all!  

Pumpkin Patch

We went to Northwoods Orchard last Sunday.  My favorite thing that we do in the Fall.  Can't believe how much the kids have grown in a year.  

Blessed

I am lucky to work with such a great group of ladies.  Even better is that our kids get to play together during the summer and during our breaks.  We had a fun Halloween themed get together yesterday. 

Pumpkins

We headed back to SeKapps to get our pumpkins.  Can't believe how big my addio has gotten!  

Suckers

Jack is very into suckers right now.  One may call it an obsession.  A trip to trader jos provided Jack with a sucker and molly with her favorite crackers.  

Fire Station 5

We went to the fire station open house tonight.  Jack loved it.  Afterwards we went and bought him a firefighter costume for Halloween.  

Addison's birthday party

Addison had some friends over for a painting party.  We had a lady come in and do a painting with the girls.  

Addison had a great time and the paintings turned out great!  

She asked for book donations instead of presents for the Ronald McDonald House.  We just delivered them today.  So proud of my girl!  

Birthday MOA Trip

We went to the mall of America last weekend to celebrate birthdays and spend their birthday money.  Thank you to everyone!  We have some lucky kiddos!  

Addison did the obstacle course high up in the amusement park!!!  So brave.  Jack got his first ride on the merry go round.  

She's 9!!!

Addison had a great birthday!  She got to go to Saint Mary's and watch Neil's team.  She got to eat in the cafeteria and sit on the bench during the game!  

Love this girl!  

Great Day For A Cardinal Win

We cheered on the cardinals yesterday.  It was a beautiful day for a win!  

He Had A Great Day!

Jack had a great 2nd birthday!  Thanks to everyone for your gifts and making his day special .
