Apple Picking Time

Boy Scout Night at O'Brien Field

Michael with Johnny Bench Michael with Andre Dawson

We had a fantastic time in Peoria. It was an opportunity of a life time to meet both Johnny Bench and Andre Dawson even though Michael has no clue who they are :). I was excited to get my own autographs on the newspaper above!! The 2 famous players were only a small part of the evening ----- free food, free snacks, fireworks, Bluz Brothers Band and fun with friends Eli, Austin, and Cameron!

Michael is a Wolf Scout

After weeks of discussion, Michael finally decided he would rather be in Boy Scouts than 4H.

A Wet and Soggy Homestead Weekend

After finding out the parade was cancelled, we met everyone up at Kramer's Kitchen to have some lunch. I didn't think it would ever stop raining. After eating lunch, we arrived at home to find 4 inches of water in the basement! What a mess!

One of the only events not affected by the weather was the Homestead Play "High School Musical". We went with Jill, Donovan, Adina, Madison, Karin and Gen. It was a great performance by local high school students!

Tony's in LOVE and it's not just with me.........

Okay, so we all love her :).........me included

Road Trip to Indiana!!

Michael and I headed to Indiana today for Madison's 5th Birthday Party. We took Karin and Gen with to surprise the DeGaetano's :).

Michael, Madison, Adina, Gen, and 2 new neighbor friends!
