Black Friday Activities!

Welcome Black Friday!  For some VERY STRANGE reason, the girls were totally excited to get up early and go shopping!  😐  They left at about 4:30am by themselves.  Angela stewed about this for awhile.  She couldn’t sleep with them out by themselves so she got up, got dressed, and went and found them.  They had […]

Stake Conference and Youth Planning

Today was the second half (general session) of Stake Conference so we got everyone packed up and left 2 hours early to drive down to Joliet to get a good, soft seat (which we did).  I used my iPad to keep Ben occupied, and again, it proved worth its weight in gold!  Ben was very

Date Night (Long Time Coming)!

Tonight we went to a surprise party for a friend of ours at the church.    We then went to 5 Guys, an OUTSTANDING burger and fry joint!  I would recommend it highly!  http://www.fiveguys.com/.  They just put a new location in just south of us and I had never been there before.  We will be going

Today, Angela flew home and we are so excited to have her here with us!  We missed her so much!  Her flight went well, although she didn’t get bumped up to get more leg room.  🙁  Her flight from LA was a little delayed so she got back home a little late!  A sister from

Angela Japan – Day 3 and EEP!

Today, I took Kirstyn to her Engineering Program activities at Northern Illinois University (NIU) Naperville Campus.  She had a GREAT time building electronic boards and such!  For the rest of the day, we just relaxed, played games, watched movies, and did all the things that Mom would probably not let us do on a Saturday!
