Weekend Continued!

I totally did this in the wrong order oh well! So after Oprah and Wicked we went back to get our rental car, only to find, No car. I was a wreck it was a good thing Erica stayed calm, cause she got a hold of the right person and found out our car had been towed. It was awful the police order said there was a sign that said no parking from 9/29- 10/03 and it was the 2nd. There was no such sign so we fought it and had a court date the next day. Above is the real sign.




We went to court and I won!!! WHOOHOO! The lady in front of us was fighting a tow the same day and place. According to the judge it was a trend that day.



The next days were spent shopping and seeing the sights! Like Millennium Park, deep dish pizza, the Michigan street..... Here are some pics.

My Girls Weekend Away In Chicago!

So my BFF (as erica likes to say) Erica and I went to Chicago this weekend for a girls weekend off. It was so fun. We hadn't seen each other for years and had not really hung out as girls since high school. It was so fun, one of the highlights for me was the night I got there. I arrived at about midnight Wed. and Erica and I stayed up and talked and laughed until 4:15 in the morning. We had to be quiet because ericas friends had a little kids sleeping. BUt we laughed so hard sometimes I seriously cried. It was great, and a great start for the weekend. Although we were so tired the next day.


OPRAH!

The next day was oprah! My friend M'lisa Hooked us up with tickets to Oprah, which by the way are almost impossible to get. Our show was on how to spice up your sex life. Erica and I were very tired and hungry but still we enjoyed the show and we laughed alot about how these people actually volunteered to be on this show. ( you will have to watch and you will know what I am talking about) . We don't know the air date yet I will keep you posted on that. here are some pics.



We had such luck this weekend, not only with the Oprah tickets, but that night we went to wicked and put our name in a ruffle for 25$ tickets. Erica got her name pulled and we got tickets. YAY! WE had terrible seats at first, but we moved 10 minutes into the show to awesome seats. The show was even better then I could have imagined, I seriously was bawling by the end of the show. WOW was all I can say.

1st day of Kindergarten and preschool

Well Here we Are a year later and what this is my second post. Lets see if I can do better then once a year this year. Any how a LOT has changed this year.

Jared quit his job and decided it was time to work on his own company full time. Things are going well for him, very busy and sometimes stressful but good. We see him much more which is huge. Right now he is going to school at babson College, automotive marketing (or something.) All of which keep him on his toes.
Tyler is talking, jumping, throwing, singing, dancing and everything in between. He is our little athlete and jokester. He keeps all of us laughing.
Samantha started pre-school this year, and she has turned into the sweetest little girl. The terrible 2's are gone, and the wonderful 3's are here. Sam loves art she is a coloring Champ. She could cut, color and draw for hours.
Lucas started Kindergarten, crazy huh! He learned to ski this winter and to ride his bike with no training wheels. He has also learned to read and loves to learn and write little books.
As for me, nothing much changes. I was nanny 3 kids early spring which was crazy and fun. My kids always had a play date as all the kids are the same ages as mine. And out of It i made a great friend. That is ended this summer and we had a fun filled summer of trips and family reunions. I have been teaching my self the piano which has been a huge stress reliever. I have recently began lessons from my grandma, and that has been a lot of fun. Anyways that is about all.

This is for you Hiedi and Lindsey!!!!

PRICE IS RIGHT!

Heidi, Paul, Lindsey, and I went to price is right to see Bob Barker. It was so fun, I am so glad that we made the trip. We had to sleep on the street and stay there all day but it was so worth it. It was almost as much fun trying to get into the show as going to the show. Anyway here are some fun pics of the trip.

Here are some pics of us at the beach. Now that we dont live in Cali we miss the beach so much. Not that we got there a ton when we lived there but at least it was minutes away. Hopefully we will be back to visit soon.

We re-did our kitchen this summer and we are so excited to have it all done. Jareds brother paul did the work and did a great job. We finally have it almost all put together, with the exception of needing to replace a number of things that broke in the process or that we threw away. But if you know me, you know I hate to spend money so I am dragging my feet on that part. Anyway here are a few before and after pics.

My mom and dad went to tahiti and brought the kids back some adorable outfits. It is a bummer it is getting cold so they wont get too much more use out of them.
