We can't forget

Court's 21st birthday! Chad and I met Court and her friends at PI for her first (legal) drink. From there, they were off for the night downtown.

Walking with hope for Katie!

The next day Kenzee and I joined Brian, Gina, Katie and family, Beth and family, Grandma Moni, Grandpa Chuck and Mathew for the MS walk. It could not have been a more perfect day.

Really?

It's October already? This has been one crazy month already. It looks like i have to go all the way back to September to catch up. We'll see what I remember. I believe it was 3 or 4 weeks ago that Court was home as well as Katie, Beth, and their families. It's not often that we get all of our families together at the same time, so this was a great opportunity for all of us to catch up. We went to Tanner's on a perfect Saturday morning for some good play time, snacking, and of course apples too!Even CayCay was able to join in the fun.

Back to School....

Wow, this summer flew by. Kenzee finished up her summer tumbling class at Jump Start and officially is back in school now! We are going to try an actual dance class this fall and see how that goes, so for now she said good bye to Miss Thecla.

Next party

Kenzee's next party was the next day at the Children's Discovery Museum in Normal. We shared this party with Jack & Lilly from her class at Holy Family. About ten of their preschool (pre-K now) friends were able to come and have a good time with them. My friend made the super cute cakes for each of them which we never even cut into beacuse of the cupcakes! The kids all had a blast and nobody wanted to leave of course!

this is gonna be a long one

August was a REALLY busy month. Kenzee turned 4 on the 6th along with a WHole BUnCh of other people. Kenzee shares her birthday with her cousin Caitlin, her FaVorITe teacher ever Mrs Pauli, and 2 other kids from her class. This year we decided to double up on our parties and do them together. First we had Caitlin and Kenzees party at Caitlins house. It was a pretty gloomy day outside but did clear up in time for a little pinata action. That was the only thing that Kenzee asked for every time I asked what she wanted for her birthday party. Other than that she went back and forth between princess, dora, and something else. We had a great time with all of our familys and lots of food and presents....
