This past weekend was a busy one! Friday night Matt and I went out with several friends to a restaurant called Tosi's in Stevensville, MI. It is an Italian restaurant that has delicious food. It was so nice to get out for the night with our great friends. Saturday I had class all day. Matt took Crew out on the boat (as you can see from the picture above, Matt let Crew drive ;). Finally on Sunday, Crew went to my parents while I went to Mishawaka and took a midterm. I went there after I was done. He LOVED playing in the pool with his cousins, Kendra and Lincoln. It was SOOOOO nice out!!! We had a great time spending the afternoon together. I haven't got to see much of anyone lately with school so it was nice to spend time hanging out with them and being in the sun. We are headed to Indy 500 this weekend and plan on spending lots of time on the boat. Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend!

Happy Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday everyone!!! Sorry it has been awhile since my last post, but things have been really busy! To begin with, I am back in school. As most of you know I started the graduate program at IUSB this past spring. I only took one class. I decided to take two classes this summer to try and get some out of the way. My Saturday class is 830a.m.-5p.m.. I had my first one this past Saturday and man was it tough!!! I have never had to sit that long through one class. I was wiped by the end of it. Only four more Saturdays to go! Thankfully my Monday and Wednesday night class isn't as bad. There are only four of us in it, so it makes it nice to have a small group to work with. Four years (graduation) seems soooooooo far away, but I KNOW it will be worth it in the end! I already can't wait to be done! ;)

Crew had his one year shots this past Monday. Despite the initial cry when they stuck him SIX TIMES!!!, he did great! No fussing or anything afterwards! Such a strong little guy! =) I also forgot to write his stats from his one year check up. He was 31 3/4 long (93%) and weighed 24.3 lbs (50%). The MD said everything looked great and that he was right on target fundamentally. He is almost walking and talking a ton. He says mama, dada, baba, bath, pop, ball, ta-tu (thank you), and is starting to talk in sentences..mainly just gibberish talk, but oh, so cute! He waves bye-bye, makes the sound of a dog when he hears or sees one, puts one finger up when you ask how old he is, and points to his ear when you ask where his ears are. We are working more and more with manners, body parts, and people. We just love conversing with him and listening to cute little voice.

We are hoping to get out on the boat this weekend. The weather looks like it is supposed to be nice! Hop you all have a great week!

Mother's Day

I received some very nice Mother's Day gifts this year. At daycare, Crew made me a potted plant. His footprints were the decoration around the pot. I had to laugh as Alicia, his babysitter, explained what happened. She told me that the first footprint was all nice and neat, the second footprint was a little smeared as Crew was getting fidgety, and by the third footprint, it was all smeared because Crew had hit meltdown mode. I think it only made the pot that much cuter ;) Haha! He also made me a beautiful place mat. Finally, I got a personalized necklace from http://www.amycornwell.com/. Amy, the designer, used to go to my church when we were younger. Since then, she has moved to Indy and makes jewelry out of her home. You should check out her designs. Her work is amazing! The necklace has three little charms on it. Each charm has an initial: A, M, and C. It also has a freshwater pearl. Now as we have more children, I can just add a charm with their initial. I love it! It is great for everyday wear. Crew also got me a really nice card and GAP gift card, which will be put to great use here soon! Mother's Day is always such an enjoyable day with family. It's something I always look forward to every year :)

Riding the Mower with Daddy!

Yesterday I had to take some pictures of Crew riding the lawn mower with Matt. They were too cute on it! Crew started fussing when we took him off of it but it was just too cold to keep him out there! Let's hope this weather changes soon so we can be outside more often!

I had a fantastic Mother's Day! Matt, Crew, and I, along with my sister,Justin and the kids, my parents, and my grandparents all went to the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago. It was such a nice day. We spent the day looking at all the animals, and had a great lunch that my mom prepared for us all. As you can see from the kids' shirts, we surprised my mom with "I Love Grandma" tshirts. She loved them! They were all so cute in them! All of the kids really enjoyed the animals. The zoo had just opened the biggest bear exhibit the day before, so it was fun to see that, including this adorable white polar bear. After the long day, we went back to my sister's house and had dinner. It was such a nice way to spend Mother's Day. I am so grateful for such a wonderful mom!

Walking into the surprise party...

This past weekend I threw Matt a surprise 30th birthday party at the La Porte Yacht Club. It was SO FUN!!! We had the best time! I must admit, it was difficult to do everything on my own. Usually I have Matt there to help! Thankfully, with the help of several people, I was able to pull it off. He had absolutely no idea!

It was a great of dinner, drinks, and music. Matt and I have not been able to stop talking about what great friends we have and how nice it was of everyone to come. We had a great time and look forward to more get togethers soon!

Busy birthday week!

BIG 3-0!

This has been a very busy week for us! Monday we went to dinner with our friends John and Stephanie. Of course we had to go to Matt's favorite restaurant, El Bracero, because the birthday boy got to choose where he wanted to eat! Then, on Tuesday, Matt went to a Sox game with my dad, uncle, and brother-in-law, Justin. We are looking forward to the weekend when we get to put our boat in the water! We can't wait to hangout on it all summer! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
