Aunt Ree and Uncle Joe

My aunt and uncle from Cheyenne, WY came to visit my parents. I went down with the kids for the day last week so we could see them and introduce them to Elise. My brother John also came over after work. We had a fun time hanging out and having dinner with them. Elise was able to show off some of her walking skills!

Fun times with Grandma Connie

Mom came up to visit while my dad was fishing in Canada. The kids had fun having her here. We were able to do some things that I normally can't do by myself with the 3 kids...We went to the jump place and also the beach.

Gurnee Days

We met some friends at the Fire Station in Gurnee for their Open House. The kids had a great time seeing all the trucks and firemen. They got to slide down a pole, ride on the firetruck, dress up like a fireman and shoot a hose . They had a lot of fun and there were a ton of free give aways.

Elise's 1st birthday

Elise turned 1 this month! It's hard to believe how fast the time has gone. She is a very busy little girl who is bald just like her brothers were :) She loves her mommy and daddy but has definitely started letting other people into her life! She is already opinionated but has a smile that will melt your heart. Elise loves to explore new things and is a climber. She has climbed the ladder up into Isaac's bunk bed and has no problem going up and down the stairs! It will be fun to watch her grow into a little girl this next year. This past week, Elise started walking and is now on the go!!
