Sand Dunes

Easter weekend we dediced to head down to the Dunes on Friday for the day. Our good friend Alex was there and just finished his new sand rail. This thing is amazing! 1300 horsepower says it all!! Lindsay and I thought we were just going for a ride over to the face, little did we know we would be flying up the face at 100 mph doing a wheelee most of the way up! I literally thought I was going to crap my pants. What a thrill.

Las Vegas!

Sorry I have not updated for quite some time. There just hasn't been alot to blog about lately. However, this past weekend we ventured down to Vegas for the big Carwash show. Unfortunatly, we were uninformed of the outrageous price of $130 bucks per person to enter the show! We quickly decided to skip the show. Instead we took Talyn to FAO Swartz toy store and many other exciting stores. I had booked us a room at the MGM Grand Hotel. When we checked in, much to our surprise we learned that the Country Music Awards show was being held at the hotel that weekend. We stayed Friday night and checked out Sturday afternoon. As we were leaving I glanced outside from the lobby where everyone waits for valet or Taxi's and noticed an individual...I hit Corey and I said "That is him". Corey agreed. It was the lead singer for Rascal Flatt's, Gary Levox. For those of you who know us, this was extremely ironic because Corey is constantly being told he looks like the lead singer of Rascal Flatt's. He was chased at their concert last year because a group of women thought he was the singer. We walked right up to him and asked if we could have our pictures taken with him. He was the nicest guy. He took pictures with no hesitation. He was playing with Talyn giving him hi fives. It made a great ending to our trip to Vegas!

Superbowl XLIII

For Superbowl Sunday our friend Alex hosted a party at his place. We had a great time mingling with everyone, enjoyed great healthy food thanks to Staci. Courtney was up to her usual creativeness with dessert (check out the pic of the cupcakes). I of course, being the Steelers fan that I am, had a blast wathcing the Steelers win the Superbowl!!!

Cheeseheads!!

Sorry it took so long but here are the pics from our trip to Green Bay for the Green Bay vs. Detroit football game. Myself, Corey, Lindsay, Sage, and Todd all went on the adventure. We had a blast and were so glad to be a part of history made...Detroit going 0-16!

Christmas Time!!

This Christmas was a whirlwind of events. First we started off with a get together will all my girlfriends from highshcool. It was so fun to see everyone and congratulations to Heidi and Krystal both are expecting in May. Also congrats to Tina who is scheduled to adopt around May as well.
Next was Christmas day. We certainly had a white Christmas with over a foot of snow. Corey and I were so excited to see Talyn's reaction this year. Even though he doesn't understand the whole Santa Clause thing, he had a blast opening presents and it was just as thrilling for Corey and I to watch. Corey's parents gave the entire family a night stay at the Homestead so we headed up there the day after Christmas. We had a great dinner in Midway and spent the night sledding and playing Guitar Hero World Tour. Following our adventure to the Homestead Corey, myself, Lindsay, Sage and Todd boarded a plane for Chicago to attend the Green Bay Packers game on Sunday. More of these pics to come soon.
I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday season filled with great memories.

Family Photo's

I am a little late in posting these. In November we had family photo's done. I found a fantastic photographer. She is fabulous and does amazing work. Her name is Tiffany Burke and her site is www.followyourartphotography.com. This will get you to her site and her blog.

Annual B & B Birthday Bash!

I can't believe it is that time of year again. Many of you know for the last few years for their birthdays, Corey & Paul have rented a skybox at a Jazz game and invite some of their closest friends. It is always so fun to get together and spend time with friends, eat dinner, and enjoy a Jazz game. This year we were missing our friends Taylor & Teigan...they are living it up in Nebraska while Taylor finishes law school. Thanks again for a fabulous night and Happy Birthday to Paul & Corey!
