Mini nascar

Some friends came over this evening and we got out some ride on toys and raced around the patio. Fun was had by all...

A Good day

Aimee and her mom stopped by for some Christmas in a box things (all the stuff we bought so we didn't have to throw it away).

More lake fun!

Lake time with friends

Jonni brought up the girls and we did some lake fun and then made smore's for snacks!!!

Old friends and new tricks

Today we went out to lunch with Erin and little Emily at the Channel Inn (local mom & pop restaurant with GREAT burgers). We had a great time!Later that day I put London on the chair while I went to transfer laundry and when I came back I found that London was able to somehow get the remote off the arm of the chair and next to him. So there he sat in the recliner with his remote....they start so young!

Brookfield Zoo

Headed to the Brookfield Zoo today with Jonni (friend from High School) and her kids (Aaron, Leola, and Stori), and her mom (florence)....At one of the exhibits they had free face painting. Well I didn't paint my face, but....

Double bump

Kyle (my 18 week preggo friend!) and I hit up some Pizza Uno for dinner tonight (shhhh don't tell troy-its his favorite restaurant). Anyway after dinner when our bumps were in there fullest mood we thought we better get a double bump photo! She was post-work and I was post-running earands so don't mind how I look. LOL

More hand-me-downs and a cool new onesie.

Got all of this stuff from my "mommies board" (as troy likes to call it). I have made some great friendship on my online board. Funny how I never really thought you could do that online but now I feel like I'm part of some of their lives and they are very much a part of mine! Thanks ladies! (you know who you are!).
I have to get pictures up of the other clothes I got while back home. I am in no more need for 0-3 months stuff!! And doing great on 3-6months also (I may have enough but haven't counted yet).Its a map of the world made out of the local animals!

Online friend

I have met a wonderful girl online named Kyle. We have been "talking" online for months now, she lives in the Chicagoland area also. Well when I flew in from China she was flying out to Italy, when I flew back from Las Vegas she was flying back from Italy. So tonight we were able to met for the first time in real life!
