Grapevine

Cort and I have decided to conduct a little social experiment, to see how far reaching the Internet/grapevine is amongst our family and friends...

So with that in mind, we have news!!
Check out Alexis' new t-shirt...

Yes, Alexis is going to be a big sister, sometime in March! If she has her choice, she will have a baby sister, AND a baby tiger... that is her response every single time we ask her what she wants in a sibling. We already told our parents and brothers and sisters and Granny in person, but didn't know when we would get a chance to see everyone else again, and some secrets are too good to keep for that long. So anyways, more details when we talk to all of you... and I'll be sure to post results of how quickly the good news gets around!

Choo Choo Johnny's

Today Cort and I had the day off, so we met Patty and Johnny at a restaurant in Frankfort called Choo Choo Johnny's. It is a diner, and your food is brought out to you on a train! The kids thought that this was just about the coolest thing ever! I forgot to get pictures of the food train, but here are some other pictures from our lunch outing...

Pushing the buttons to make the train go around...

Two crazy drivers...

Could they be ANY cuter?!?!?

Gramma Debi

This past weekend/week, Gramma Debi came to visit!
We had lots of fun!

On Saturday we went to a pool party...

Me and my cousins!
(Nolan, Jack, Alexis, Johnny, Henry)

I insisted on wearing my new winter suede boots from Gramma Debi, even though it was 90 degrees out.

Johnny tried on all of my accessories!

On Sunday, we went to Granny's house for dinner...

On Monday, I went on a boat ride down the Chicago River!

Thanks for visiting, Gramma Debi!

Weaverfest

I am a little delayed making this post... a few weekends ago we went to the annual Weaverfest in the Quad Cities. The highlight for Alexis was the jumping thing that Kylie brought with!

The other highlight for Alexis was the pool!

Fourth of July

Happy Belated Fourth of July!
Here are some pictures from our weekend...

On Friday we went to the Palos Heights Parade...

Alexis got to pet a python!

Partying with the cousins...

Watching the fireworks (from the safety of Daddy's lap!)

On Sunday Alexis tried out the new pool from Aunt Dee!

She also helped us out by doing some "broomin", as she refers to sweeping.
