Steelers Are Going To The Superbowl!

Go Illini!

We have had a fun filled weekend! I am pretty sure I am not ready for the weekend to end!
***Please note***I still have to post Adlee's 7 month post! The pictures are on my new camera which I have to figure out how to load on my computer. I may not have the right cord.

We got together with friends Friday night. We had a pizza party and Adlee's friend Chloe from daycare came over with her parents. Always nice to hang out with friends and have a good time! Chloe helped me give Adlee a bath and Adlee was just giggling at Chloe! It was too cute!

Saturday, we went to the Illinois/Ohio State b-ball game with more friends. It was a good time. My Mom and Steve came over and babysat Adlee for us so we could go. We never get to see our friends The Waller's much anymore due to our busy schedules so we invited them to go with us. We went to lunch after the game to Flat Top Grill.
I had to get a picture of Adlee before we left. She looked cute in her Orange and Blue.


Steve and Jeremy at the Hall!

Me and Shawna at the Hall!

Today has been a football filled day. Jeremy made us some yummy burgers and we have watched football all day. The big game Bears vs. Packers was on and now the Steelers vs Jets. I got pics of Adlee in her Steelers gear but the pics are on my new camera in which I do not know how to operate:) I was hoping to sign up for a class, however the class is full already. I am hoping for a cancellation.

Let's hope the Steelers win and get another trip to the Superbowl! I already have an idea of what Adlee might wear for that if they win!

Holden's 1st Birthday Party!

We had the 1st birthday party for Holden last weekend. He is the son of one of my besties. My friend did such a great job on his party I had to share pics.

Here is the birthday boy!

The party was monkey theme so the bananas held the balloons!

The cupcakes were fabulous! From Sweet Designs in Mahomet!

Love the polka dot balloons!

Holden's birthday hat was so cute. I think Chaley found this on Etsy.

She had tags printed up and each food/drink item had a "monkey" theme name.

This little girl enjoyed the party!

All the kids got a sugar cookie! Adlee got one but of course her sugar cookie lovin Mom ate it:)

Stay tuned! Adlee turns 7 months old tomorrow so I will have her 7 month post soon. I also got a new camera and plan to upload pics that I have taken with it soon too!

Happy New Year!

Our Holiday break is coming to an end. We will have to go back to work on Monday and I just want to stay home with my baby girl. It was been a great week being home with Adlee and her playing with all of her new things.
My Dad and Sharon came to visit on Thursday and we went to lunch. We had a nice visit.




Friday we took a rode trip to Pekin to visit Jeremy's Mom & Dad. We had lunch with them, Adlee played with some toys at her Grandma & Grandpa's house and again we had a nice visit.
She was pooped, this was her on the way home. She loves her baby doll from Maw-Maw:)


We had a few options for New Years and we opted to stay home and just enjoy it with Adlee. She was in the New Years spirit with her party hat on!

This has been the best year for us. I am somewhat sad to see it go since it is the year our baby was born. We are looking forward to 2011 and watching Adlee grow and learn new things. She will be celebrating her 1st birthday soon enough. I am hoping we can take our first vacation as a family of 3 this year. My main goal for 2011 is to work at getting back to my weight pre fertility/baby. I am not going to set too many goals since it is hard to get anything done with a baby when you work full time. Other than enjoying her and having the most fun ever with her!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all!

We have had a wonderful Christmas! We feel so blessed to have our little Adlee and she has been so special this holiday. She has really been into all of her presents and gets so excited at everything she opens. She got so many cool toys she has been playing with all weekend.

We celebrated with my Mom & Steve on Thursday. They came over after work and we had Papa Murphy's pizza. We wanted something simple and it was quite yummy. Adlee had spent the day with her Daddy since he was out of school already for break. (Thus the camo outfit that makes her look like a boy:))
Adlee loved opening all of her presents and was very appreciative of everything she received.

This is my little sister Chloe. We got her a new purple puffy vest for Christmas:)

Friday morning, Adlee's Grandparents (Jeremy's parents) came over to celebrate Christmas with us. They stayed until today and we had a great weekend. We enjoyed snacking all day and then opening our gifts. Again, Adlee was spoiled rotten and got so many cool things. Christmas Eve, for dinner, Jeremy made a wonderful Prime Rib, we had twice baked potatoes, I made (well actually Jan put it together) a yummy salad, we had Beef House rolls and wine. We also took Adlee to Christmas Eve candlelight service. She was an angel during the whole service. We came home and sat out cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer and got in our jammies and patiently awaited Santa's arrival. Adlee must have been a very good little girl because Santa brought her a lot of things!

Adlee loved opening her presents but she really loved trying to eat the wrapping paper and tissue paper.

Adlee is sitting up all on her own now.

Christmas Eve was beautiful with all the snow we got. It was so nice having a white Christmas. It really felt like Christmas.

I had to take a picture of our beautiful meal because it was soooo yummy!

Getting our cookies and milk ready for Santa.

The mints are on the plate because Adlee grabbed them and put them there and apparently she thought Santa needed some mints too. I thought it was cute so I left them there.

Santa came for Adlee. Like I said she was a very good girl. She got an Bitty Baby, many books, clothes, socks, some new cups, Sophie the Giraffe teether, a ride on/push behind dino walker, some baby flash cards, and a few other fun toys.

Christmas morning....checking out everything Santa brought.

Adlee was lucky enough to have 2 sets of her Grandparents on Christmas Eve/Christmas morning. My Mom and Steve came back and stayed the night with us. We had fun. They ate dinner with us Christmas Eve, my Mom went to Church with us and we played bingo that night. (Jeremy and I got a new bingo game)

Adlee got a new hair bow in her stocking. She also got a couple new bibs.

Taking the new dino for a spin around the living room:)

Then it was time for the 3 of us to have our family Christmas. Adlee got some clothes from her Mommy & Daddy, some new plates and bowls, several books, and a new bath towel. Oh and a new pair of pj's each from her Mommy & Daddy.

Christmas morning, Chef Jeremy was back at it. He made Monkey Bread which was the best Monkey Bread we have ever had. He also made a ham. We had ham with breakfast and then for lunch made ham sandwiches out of the leftovers and snacked on various other goodies we had.

Christmas was enough to wear these two girlies out!

Merry Christmas everyone! It has been a great one and we look forward to all the Christmases we have with our precious girl! We are also very thankful for our parents and family for their generosity to the 3 of us this Christmas. It was a great one!
