Happy Birthday Brian

We celebrated Brian's birthday last night.
Tyler liked what his dad got.....a new bat, balls and a baseball T.....to play baseball with Tyler!

Stay tuned for tomorrow's update. Dayna's C-section is scheduled for 8:15 am tomorrow!

All American Sport

Tuesday afternoon Brian and Heather took the kids to a Cubs game. Go Cubs! They won!
After the Cubs game Tyler played in his own T-ball game. These are a little out of order....I am paying too much attention to American Idol.

Back to the Cubs game....."Hot Dogs and Cracker Jacks"

Natalie had a dance recital last Saturday. She was so cute in her costume!

She is on the far right.

Dayna has one more week and she will have the baby on May 1st.

She is on bed rest now because of high blood pressure.

Weekend Visit

We spent the weekend visiting with Bruce and Tiffany and kids. We went to the Mammouth Caves and this is how Bruce carried Chelsea around through the caves. He wasn't allowed to carry her on his back. She was able to get a little nap.

We stopped at Dinosaur World.

And the Louisville Slugger Museum

We got a family picture of Bruce's family.....Chelsea was sad at first and the kids all joined in with frowns......

But then they got happy!

Family Reunion

We had a wonderful weekend. We were all together for the whole weekend. The pictures will tell the story. Bruce and family drove up from Kentucky on Friday and Denise and Brandon and Brayden flew in on Thursday night. This picture was taken 5 minutes before we had to leave for the airport on Sunday to take Denise and Brandon and Brayden.
Thank you family for posing for this picture. Sleeping children had to be woken up and Ryan had to hurry back from a "long distance" errand he had to run for his parents. We found a shady spot on the side of the house.....it still was too bright for Tyler. Dayna is going to have a baby in 3 weeks and Debbie in August. I have braces on my teeth that I thought I could keep out of pictures cause I will only have them for 3 months. But it is all worth it to capture the moment. Many thanks to Uncle Scott for taking the picture and to Jill for making us all smile....well at least looking forward.

We went to an indoor waterpark and the kids had a blast! This is Tyler.

On Monday we went to the Morton Arboretum and the kids climbed up a treehouse.

The cousins climbed on rocks then paused to pose for a picture...the sun was really bright.

Saying good-bye is the hardest part.

I just realized Brian and Heather escaped individual pictures.....next time.

Thanks to everyone for a wonderful weekend and understanding and cooperation from all and a big thank you to Brian and Heather for opening your home for Bruce and family and for a wonderful Sunday dinner. You are all the best!!!

A Star in the Making

I have fallen behind in my picture taking. But Tiffany sent me these baseball pictures of Devon. Thanks Tiffany. You are looking good, Devon!
