Love at first sight

One Stubborn Girl

Savannah is so stubborn and doesn't always want to eat her dinner...These pictures were so funny to me I just had to blog about it. Silly Girl!!!

Welcome to the Family

Sarah has been dating her boyfriend Tony for over a year now. He recently purchased her a baby guinea pig named Guinea Beow Meow. It is really nice to have a new addition in the family. He is so adorable, friendly and cuddly soft. I had a guinea pig when I was nine years old which only lasted for a day before he past away. It brought back good memories even if it was brief. Savannah and Sarah are in LOVE with our new guinea pig.

Monkey Joe's

One of Savannah's favorite places to visit now is Monkey Joe's. We brought a friend with us this time to the bounce house. The kids were so tuckered out afterwards they fell asleep on the car ride home. We took the family out to eat afterwards and had a lot of fun watching the two kids run around.

Mother Nature vs Pool

Frank worked for two straight months draining out the old pool water, cleaning up leaves and dirt, replacing the liner and spray painting the braces and brackets. He worked hard on hammering down nails, sanding and staining the pool deck. We purchased all new pool equipment and filter. We had to clean up the well water and get the PH levels just right. We were finally able to swim in the pool on Labor Day. The very next day a branch broke off one of our large trees in the backyard and blew over across the pool. Looking up in the tree and seeing exactly where it broke off. We determined it should have landed right over the fire pit. Mother nature blew the branch across the pool damaging one of the brackets and putting a hole in the liner. All of the water drained out of the pool. I filed a claim with State Farm Insurance and it looks like we will be getting a new pool. We just have to price out a new pool and they will cover the costs minus our $1500 deductible. What a crazy summer! 

Labor Day Parade

This morning we drove over to the Labor Day Parade in Schaumburg. This was our 3rd annual mommy/daughter date. The rest of the family was too lazy to get up this morning. It was very hot outside and not very much shade. Luckily there was a breeze blowing to help cool us off. Savannah made out like a little bandit this year with lots of candy. She was signing and dancing along with the music. She even got to play the drums from the Crystal Lake Strikers.
