Illini wins!

We attended the Illini football game yesterday which we won! Makenna came with us and enjoyed her first football game Illini win. We rode our bikes down to the stadium, yeah there is a really interesting HILL. I managed to get our tickets off Craigslist last weekend for $11 bucks a tickets, sweetness I know!

Yesterday I also went to Heather bachlorette party. Yes she got drunk and the left THEEEEE bar before MIDNIGHT. As most of the party left Heather was on the bathroom floor crying, we are really sorry about that.

Moving on...Makenna woke this morning at 5:30 in VOMIT...I thought I might be cleaning up vomit but not from her. So she puked like 6 times between 5:30 and 9. She has since stopped after a short spell of diarrhea as well. THEN the cat started puking....uhhhhh.

Grandpa Darrell stopped in town today and we went to the Texas Road House for dinner. It was good though the steak was over cooked, yes I like it with a little moo left in.

Wednesday I am having my wisdom teeth removed. By the grace of god I only have 2 instead of 4. Unfortunately my two are partially erupted and caught under some bone. So Wednesday I am having them cut/pulled/torn or whatever other measures they must take to get them out. I am opting for local anesthesia instead of being knocked out so I don't have to recover from the general anesthesia. Yeah I went to school, I've seen the difference.

I've started packing as Brent will be taking off part of week to watch the baby while I recover and this way I can just recover. We leave on Saturday from Bloomington to Orlando.

New Pictures are up from the game and the Bachlorette Party (yeah cause you are that interested.) but they are up none the less for all who watch this page like a group (gaggle?) of hawks. Ok I know a group of geese is a gaggle so BACK OFF! HAHA

Makenna using her walk-a-long thingy, you'll have to watch it sideways b/c apparently I can't rotate it and save it, sorry! And I apologize in advance for the messy house....

Boo yeah

Hiiiideeeehooooooeeee!

Makenna is doing well getting bigger every day and learning new words at a super fast pace. Yesterday she said leave it and sign. So now she can say: bye, hi, cat, kitty, mama, dada, daddy, sign and leave it. Geez...she's growing up too fast. She isn't walking yet but cruises like nobody's business and uses her walk along toy now!

Yesterday Brent got off work a little early! So we went and got some haircuts by the wonderful and talented JILL! We love her! Afterwards we had a delightful dinner at Famous Daves, oh yes the awesomeness of their bbq is unsurpassed.

Brent and I have been researching refinishing wood floors as the house has wood floors throughout the downstairs. Soooo, we are going to make them look pretty! That's right tearing up all the carpet downstairs and then after refinishing them putting down a few rugs we buy or have made.

I've been busy this week putting up some auctions on ebay. I made a few lots of Makenna's clothes, all of the clothes she has outgrown are taking up a ton of space! The closet room had a pile from the top of a table to the ceiling! Holy crap. So I needed to make some room.

The city was out this week trimming the trees in the parkway, in front of the house. The trees do look a lot better! The roof is still doing wonderful and the second floor stays a lot cooler now b/c of adaquate ventilation! Last weekend I was crawling around above Makenna's room b/c I had to patch a hole in a decorative vent under the gable. We think a squirrel may have become trapped when the roof was done so he ripped back some screen and bent the vent to es-cap-e.

Let's see, let's see...count down to Florida has begun!

Edit: New photos are up!

Ok for real...I'm posting!

Dahhhh, I know it has been forever since I posted! The week before last we had Makenna's first first birthday party at Grandpa Pat's house! We had lots of fun visiting with everyone and Makenna loved digging into her very own cake!

See below!






The Friday before Grandma Bonnie came into town and has been our lovely house guest ever since. We took her to the airport Friday morning as she flew out of Willard! We miss her and really enjoyed her coming and staying with us!




After we dropped off Grandma Bonnie, we came home to shower and then.....went to the one week boutique! Yay, lots of baby stuff...clothes...shoes...rain slicker, haha.

Last weekend we had Makenna's second first birthday party! We had lots of people attend! The cake was wonderful that we bought from the cake artist studio. There was only one tiny slice left! She had tons of fun!


The roof is done! All done!
