Jedi takes out Princess

Saturday we went to a birthday party at the indoor playground in LaGrange. The boys were very excited when Santa made them all balloon lightsabers. The girls, however, were not amused.

Meg's First Car

Meg has decided she'd like a red Corvette when she turns 16 so look out!

Josh came over Sunday morning and took the kids for a spin in a beautiful red corvette. They loved it!

Birthday Boy

Today was Chris's birthday. We went out for breakfast at a new diner, Dizzy's. It was a cute little place and we had a nice time there. The kids loved the jukebox. That afternoon we went to a birthday party for one of the kids in Zach's class at Pump it Up, always a good time.

Thank you for everyone who sent cards and gifts and those who called with well-wishes!

Vacation Day 7

Friday we checked out the Crystal Lake Playground and Beach. Meg took the pictures of Zach. That afternoon we did some Mini-Golf. Meg did pretty well with it, but Zach quickly lost interest. Again we had a nice sunset on Platte Lake.

Vacation Day 1

When we arrived at the cottage we were greeted by Great Grandma, Grandma Judy, Aunt Julie and the Spangler Crew. The kids enjoyed playing in downtown Frankfort, then we did dinner with Uncle Todd, Aunt Debbie and Cousin Tanner. After dinner Uncle Todd took everyone tubing. The kids loved it!

A Fun Filled Weekend

Friday we went to a "end of summer camp" party at Kolosh's.

Saturday we went to Summerpalooza at Oak Brook and then did dinner with the Nash's. They had pony rides, face painting, an obstacle course, ice cream, and the pool was free for the day. We had a great time!

Sunday Mom cantored Mass, then we parted ways. Zach had a birthday party to attend while Mom and Meg went to see High School Musical with the Mitchell's. Right next to the theater they were filming the new Angelina Jolie film so we stopped to check that out as well.

Meg's Pink Cast

Sunday morning we went to the playground. The monkey bars at the were too high for Meg to reach standing on the platform, so she climbed up to get higher and then jumped off trying to catch the monkeybar in mid-air. She missed, obviously, and fell to the ground pretty hard, fracturing her wrist. Meg will be in a cast for 3 weeks. She gets it off July 30th.

Saturday we traveled to Lafayette for CC's 50th Celebration. It was a nice event with a cookout, presentation and Mass. The kids enjoyed the inflatables they had outside. That night we hung out with Josh and Shanon and played a little Wii.

Sunday we drove home and went to a BBQ at one of Meg's friends houses, then we were joined by Rick and Marianne from Texas with their new baby, Aerik.

Getting Ready for Easter

Friday night we had a fun get together with some other families from Meg's class. We all went to dinner together. I didn't even know Applebees would take a reservation for 23!

Saturday we went to the LaGrange Easter Egg hunt. They moved it indoors because we've had alot of rain lately. The kids had a good time. The other kids in the picture are Kyle and Kaitlyn, classmates of Meg.

Sunday we met Christa, Bill and Will at the Botanical Gardens.The weather looked threatening, but it never did rain on us.
