Wedding Anniversary (14th)

We celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary at RPM Steak.  We always love having dinner here.  We shared a filet mignon, brussels sprouts, mushrooms, french fries and a caesar salad.  Afterwards we had the doughnuts with chocolate sauce.  I can't believe it's been 14 years!  I'm so happy I'm married to the love of my life.  It's crazy to think of all we've been through the last 14 years: deaths, births, infertility (6 miscarriages, 6 years of trying), birth of our miracle baby Grayson, as well as Liam, new houses (5), traveling around the world, enjoying many concerts, shows, clubs and growing as a couple along the way.  I'm lucky to be married to such a great man, father and husband.  Can't wait to see what the next chapter holds for us!

Soccer Game at Montrose Harbor

We signed Grayson up for i9 soccer at Montrose Harbor.  We are so excited for him to play on a soccer league.  The kids are in preschool (ages 3-5), although Grayson is the oldest.  We are hoping to add Liam to the team next week.  Grayson did a great job and scored several goals!  We were so proud of him.  We got a few videos of him making some incredible moves/shots.  One time he kicked the ball ahead/passed to himself and then took the ball to the goal and scored.  We are so excited to watch them play soccer.  The place they play the soccer games is pretty amazing - right on the harbor with a beautiful view.

AACA School Pictures

Our sweet boys had school pictures at AACA.  We dressed them up in cute navy blue shirts, but it turns out their actual picture day was Thursday instead of Wednesday.  Oops!!  On their actual picture day we sent Liam to school in the same outfit and Grayson in a gray shirt.  These boys have so much fun together and love being silly.  Love them so much!!

Dentist (Liam's 1st Time)

We had a family dentist appointment (Daddy had to cancel last minute because of a work trip).  It was Liam's 1st time getting his teeth cleaned.  Grayson went first while Liam sat right next to him and watched. When it was Liam's turn he was very brave and had no issues with the cleaning.  It was so cute to see them at the dentist office.  I think I'm more afraid of the dentist.  

Beurskens Mini Family Reunion

We went to Effingham for the mini Beurskens reunion.  My cousins, Tony, Tim, Pat and Nick rented a house on Lake Sara and invited the whole family to get together.  We drove up there on Sunday and stayed the night at a hotel in Effingham.  We spent the day with the family at the lake house and then had dinner with everyone.  It was so nice to see the family, especially the cousins who I have not seen in years.  We decided we need to do a mini family reunion every year and hope to start a yearly tradition.  It was so nice to have all the cousins' kids together especially since we spent so much time together as kids (Beurskens family get togethers were the best!).  This was the first time my boys met some of my cousins (Tony, Pat and Nick).  They had so much fun hanging out!
