Happy 3rd Birthday Owen!

Yesterday was Owens 3rd Birthday! Cant believe that 3 years ago our lives changed forever. We welcomed a baby boy into the world and we are so thankful every day for our little man. Love you more and more every day, Owen.... We did cake and ice cream last night to celebrate with the family.

4 hours of clean up and many more hours to go...

Eric and I cleaned up some of the yard today due to all the damage from the storm. I even ran the pole saw and the chain saw. We were rock-stars. I am pretty sure I wont be able to move my arms in the morning but I am ok with that. It was a great workout! I almost forgot to say a HUGE, THANK YOU! to my grandpa who showed up with a huge grabber and was able to pick up all the piles I created throughout the day. We would still be hauling piles of branches if it wasn't for him. He is such a life saver.

Storm damage

We had some storm damage today. Lots of other places were much worse. 80mph winds and power outages for days in some places. Were thankful we had no significant damage to our house. The trees that went down have power lines in the roots so we have to wait until WPS comes and does their thing before we can begin clean up. It may be awhile considering they are overwhelmed with power outages etc.

Cheesehead 5K

Mom and I ran the Cheesehead 5K on Saturday. Here is an attempt at a photo of us before the race. Sorry I cant rotate the photo it is in a weird format :)

Bay Beach

My work paid for Bay Beach for any families interested. Free food and free ride tickets all night long. The boys had a blast.

5 Year Anniversary Trip

Eric and I took a 5 Year Anniversary trip with out the kids. First time since Owen was born and he will be three in Sept. It was so needed, time to spend together to rekindle our love : ) We had a fabulous time. We had dinner at Marley's (a must) Friday night and had the Rum Grouper (AMAZING). Saturday we had a couples massage and it was so awesome we both loved it and would do that again. Saturday night we had a nice dinner at House of Embers. It was such a beautiful resort and the weather was wonderful. The only thing we missed was kayaking on Saturday. It rained so we headed downtown and walked through all the shops.

Makeover!

Wednesday Eric and I decided to makeover our "office" that had become a dumping ground for miscellaneous items and we completely gutted the room of all its contents including the computer desk (what a hassle to take apart and move to the sun room) we dont use and make it into the kids play room. Its so nice to have all the toys (we have way too many) in one location for easy clean up. The boys have yet to play in there but hey that makes it even easier to keep clean : )
