Rock Band...

Here are some pictures of the family playing rock band, we had a great time! You would have thunk that grown adults could have soo much fun playing games!

A long time...

It has been too long since I have posted. Well the holidays came and gone, we had a great time. Chris and Dennis came from Jax FL to see us, they are such fun people. We had Christmas, a Key West party and they went home x-mas day. Here are some pictures from the holidays.

The first photo was from our wine trip, we went with our neighbors Luke and Ali, my friend Sarah and her husband and Nick and Marie. We had a great time- a little too much wine was flowing that day!

We gave Nikki's kids a Wii for x-mas, they loved it. See the photos!

Ben and I got Rock Band which has been fun. We have had so many people over to play I think it will stay in the closet this weekend. We enjoy it. The Peterson's came over last weekend to play and it turned out to be quite a party. We had a great time.

My best friend Marie also got engaged just before the holiday. She is getting married in England and has asked me to be her only attendant. I am very honored. So Ben and I are going to Europe- we can't wait. We are going to make a week or two long trip out of it. We had always planned to go before we have kids and why not now. I think we will go to Paris for a few days, Italy and maybe Germany. I can't wait. Marie's wedding will be wonderful. I really like the guy she is going to marry!!

Enjoy the photos!

Happy Halloween!

Have a great Halloween!

Busy...

It has been really busy, our weekends have been booked. We just had Ben's 30th birthday party, it was a surprise which was really fun. We had our neighborhood watch party last weekend and I was in Chicago for work. It was a good time. I have included pictures from our adventures.

Tonight we leave for Mills to go to Jake's wedding, should be a good time. I am really happy for Jake and Amy, they will have a happy life together.

I will post pictures of the wedding soon!

Wonderful Weekend...

We had a great weekend, Friday we went to a happy hour with Ben's co-workers and then had our neighbors over for drinks on the deck. People ask us all of the time why we live so far away and I really do like it out there. It is peaceful, we have a great group of neighbors that live around us that I don't ever want to move away from and you can't beat having no one in your back yard. I would like to move up north on a lake someday soon but we will see. The city is getting old, we love living in the boonies.

Saturday night we had a friends wedding, it was one of the best weddings we have been to. It was at the College Club in St. Paul, nothing like having a huge house to yourself. Cole looked wonderful and we had a lot of fun- I didn't feel so good yesterday. Their decorations were very cool, it made the ballroom look so romantic. We had a great time. Ben and I stayed at the St. Paul Hotel that night, it is very nice. I would highly recommend it. Sammy was at his new overnight care call All Seasons Country Club, we think he liked it because he didn't freak out like he normally does when we pick him up. Sam and I took a lot of naps yesterday, we both felt like crap.

Have a great week!
