Pei Wei

We met the Wallace Gang at our favorite Pei Wei. Why don't they have one in Chicago?

Miles and June.

Kater-Lou and Sissy.

Kel got a fortune she wasn't that happy about.

My Scooter was happy.

So was my big baby boy!

My fortune. How appropriate that it had a spelling error.

Then it was off to a hike with Grandpa Tom.

Poor Juner. He tripped on the hike and landed on a cactus. Now that's not something that would happen in Chicago.

OUCH!! There was about 100 little bitty pokies but Scotty let me remove them with tweezers. Love him.

Haiti

I interrupt my happy family blog to make a quick statement.
My heart is breaking over the suffering in Haiti and I can't stop thinking and praying for the innocent people that are hurting more that you or I could ever imagine and I just have to say that this guy drives me nuts!! To say that he is out of line is the understatement of the year! I am so sorry that he opened his mouth. The end!

AZ Day 1 and 2

The kids and I had a great ride on the plane.

We anxiously waited for our FRIENDs.

We asked Mikele to drive us past our old house and when we got there the garage door was open and the people told us we could take a look. Check out the change in the backyard. From this... October 2006
To this... how sad.

Our poor empty old house is so full of old memories.

Hip hip hooray! Macker was the happiest little guy to get off the plane and play at the park.

Junie and his buddy Colin have been friends since birth. (2 weeks apart)

Kater and June too. Notice the grass covering them.

You think Sissy and Colin were happy to be together?

These little sweethearts are forever friends. Scott, Miles and Colin.

Same little guys just a couple years ago. Miles, Colin, Scott.

Sissy and I having fun at the park.

Jumping My-Yos!

Breakfast at the Wallace house.

Time for a different park with Grandma and Grandpa.

Over to the King's house for dinner.

A little time for running around in the yard. We love grass!

Wonderful Kel, took 5 kids to Awanas.

That left just the little guys.

Have fun, Mikele!!

Adam offered to watch the boys...

Adam and Heather.

Macker loved seeing the sunset too.

Heather and I sat on her balcony and watched a beautiful AZ sunset.

Perfect way to enjoy a perfect day.

Our Artist

Sissy had one of her pieces of artwork choosen to be displayed at the Wheaton Public Library. (Thanks for the reminder, Amy)

She's awesome and we're proud!

We were a little too loud for the library. Sorry.

On to the Children's Museum (thanks mom and dad for the renewal). Sissy made this cool project.

Junie made an art project too. If you can't tell it's a lightsaber and a ship. Duh!

Archie, just because he's precious.

Happy jumping in the kitchen.

New Years Eve!

The Williams of Iowa drove over to spend the evening with us.

We had a night full of music, dance, Yahtzee, fondue and laughter.

These 2 BFF's had fun too.

After the little buggers went to sleep we let these guys watch movies.

Early morning love from Macker to Robyn.

Bacon.

Breakfast.

What special memories. Love you guys.
