Just Because

I am so glad that you are all enjoying this blog as much as I am. It is so much fun and I look forward to reading the comments everyday. I try to post new things as often as possible, so sorry to my faithful blogees who were deprived this weekend while i was away. I will try to not make that a habit. Love you all and thanks for the fun.

Little Bruiser

Nick stayed with my brother and sister in law on Saturday when Ryan and I were at the game. Amy said they played outside all day (which Nick loves) and in the midst of the excitement little man scraped his lips on the concrete. He looks like he has gotten into my lipstick doesn't he?

Miiiichigan!

We traveled to Campaign this weekend to watch the Illinois/Michigan college football game. Ryan has opened up a whole new division of football for me. We had so much fun and thankfully Michigan won. We beat Illinois 27 to 17. What a good game we saw. I do have to say though it was hard for me not to sing and clap along with the cheers considering we are HUGE Illinois basketball fans.

Michigan / Illinois Game

Steve, Ryan, Taylor and I went to the Illinois/Michigan game on Saturday. We got there early to cook and play washers. We all had a really great time. I tried to take pictures at the game, but this is the only one I got. We didn't stop for batteries and unfortunately that was a mistake. Michigan won so two of the four of us were happy. Sorry Uncle Steve. Anyway, a great time was had by all.

Taylor was a little chilly so i gave her my Michigan jersey to wear. Uncle Steve didn't like it very well, but he was a good sport. Needless to say by the end of the day Taylor had a new Illinois jersey.

I am the Newest Member

On Friday night, I was inducted into the National Honor Society. I hate to brag on myself, but i honestly cannot believe i have been able to accomplish this. I never thought I would say that I was asked to be a part of something like this. I am gonna toot my own horn and say I am very proud of myself.

So They Say its Your Birthday!!!!!

I know it is probably not the best thing in the world to do, but on Friday when my mom and nephew were over we went to Chevy's and "pretended" it was Xander's birthday. He really wanted a sombrero. Doesn't he look cute. I sure hope no one turns us in.

Two Handsome Boys

Last Friday, my mom and nephew Xander came over to spend the day with me. Nick really looks up to his cousins. As you can see i think they are fond of him as well.
