Happy Halloween (a little late)

     This year was again tons of fun on Halloween, these holidays are SO much better with kids!  Cohen went as a Dragon (thank you to the Weavers for the costume loan) and Killian was Optimus Prime.  We all went out trick or treating and NyNy came to our house and handed out the candy.  I loved the fact that it fell on a Saturday this year, that part made it even better!

Chad is OLD...

It's official... Chad is OLD (well older than me...)

This year I got him good, I had his mom call and offer to watch the boys so that we could go out for a date night, dinner and a movie.  He totally took the bait and then I invited a bunch of his friends over for beer, pizza and hangin' out at home, something we all need more of:)  Anyway, it went well, Happy Birthday Old Man!

Cohen's 1st Haircut

I told you I was playing catch up....

I was trying to hold out as long as possible for Cohen to get his first haircut but the mullet look just wasn't working for him anymore, he did a very nice job and looks very handsome now!

Random Outfit?

Does anyone else ever come home to children dressed in very interesting outfits?

ISU Homecoming

My sister Dana and I!

Here are a couple pics from ISU Homecoming Parade.  Let's just say it could have been warmer, but at least it wasn't raining.  (oh, and no comments about the gray hair!)

Brookfield Zoo

Over Labor Day Weekend we went up to Brookfield Zoo with Nicole & Lexi Grueneberg - it was really fun, here are some great pictures for our little day trip! Notice the silly daddy!  Over here on the right!!!

So behind...

I am SO behind.  I was home today with Killian (he had a fever) and was able to upload some pics, so get ready for a ton of blogging in the near future.
