Ohlanders to Chicago

The Ohlanders came to visit us in Chicago.  My boys are obsessed with Cora, Elin and Gabe.  It's so fun having my kids and my BFFs kids super close friends.  My boys couldn't be more opposite from Gabe, but they complement each other so well.  Gabe is super laid back, low maintenance, while my boys are high strung and high energy.  They had the best time playing video games, doing arts and crafts, playing cops and bad guys and hide and seek.  It was so nice to have Cora and Elin help with with all the crazy boys.  Elin and Liam slept in Liam's bed while Cora, Gabe and Grayson slept in his bed.  Cora was so sweet reading to the boys before bed.  The next time will be together will be in Orlando, Florida for Allison's 40th birthday.  We love the Ohlanders and can't wait to make more memories with them. 

Cancun Trip ~ Spring Break 2019

We planned a last minute trip to Cancun for Spring Break.  We stayed at the Westin Lagunamar and had the best time.  We've been there before and knew they had a fun slide for the boys to play on - they had the best time!  We had fun at the pool and slide during the day and nice dinners at night.  Unfortunately, Craig got sick for 24 hours and had to see the hotel doctor.  He had a terrible stomach bug, but luckily was better after 24 hours.  The last day we went to the Ferris Wheel across the street at the shopping center.  It was so amazing being up that high, but I was definitely nervous.  The boys had a great time.  What a fun trip!  

St Clement Anchor Ball

My mom was my date to the St Clement Anchor Ball at Adler Planetarium.  Craig and I bought tickets and then he realized he was going to be on a guys' ski trip in Park City.  My mom and I had fun getting blow-outs and ready for the event.  My work friend, Beth Frattura and her husband Todd were also there so we had fun hanging out.  They belong to the church and hope their daughter goes to the school.  We had a great time at the event and took the party to RPM Steak for drinks, appetizers and desserts.  My mom and I did not get home until 1am.  We had a great time. 

Liam ~ Star of the Week

 Liam was star of the week for his preschool class.  He was so excited for this honor.  We put pictures of his favorite food, toys and family members.  He also had a page of what he wants to do when he grows up.  He said the same thing Grayson said last year, "He wants to work with Daddy."  We had fun putting the pages together.  Daddy and Mommy went to Liam's class to read a book to his class.  Liam was so proud to have us in his classroom.  It was so sweet!  Daddy did a great job reading the book to his classmates.  Liam also had to present his Star of the Week pages to his class.  Each day he had to present one page about himself.  This day it was about his favorite things.  He did a great job and was so proud to have mommy and daddy in his class.  His teacher said he also did great the other days when presenting to his class.  We are so proud of him!
