This weekend we went down to Illinois for Memorial Day weekend.  Yesterday we just hung out at Phil and Sue's after going to the Hononegah baseball game.  We made delicious ribs and the weather was beautiful so we were able to eat outside.

Today we went to my friend Stephanie's house to grill out hamburgers.  We played with the boys and Mark and I lost a few games of bean bags to Stephanie and Jamie.    Colton, to the left, is a little over a year old, and Maddox, to the right, is three.  The kids were so much fun to play with.  Maddox acts more like five years old instead of three.

It was beautiful out so afterwards we went back to Mark's parent's house and hung out in the gazebo.  We just enjoyed the weather and Mark played the guitar while everyone sang along.  Tonight we are going to have a small bonfire, roast some wiennies and make smores.  We are hoping that Bill and Tanya will be able to make it out.

Tomorrow we will be here for a little while but will be on our way back to West Bend.  Hopefully the weather sticks out up there so we can go biking more than we have been able to lately.

Jeff graduated last weekend from Viterbo University in La Crosse, Wisconsin.  The ceremony only lasted about an hour and a half and afterwards we went out to eat. 

We are proud of you Jeff!!

On another note...Phil and Sue had everyone over for Mother's Day/Graduation Party.  Grandma, Steve, Sharon, Wayne, Jeff, Dorene, Elizabeth, Rebecca, Ken and Josh were all able to make it.  We grilled hamburgers and chicken and enjoyed everyone's company.

Well, Lauren is going to be a big sister.  Tanya just found out that she is pregnant again.  She is right around 4 weeks and is due in January.  Congrats!!

Happy Birthday, Rebecca!  We hope you have a fabulous day!

Happy Birthday, Don!  

Happy Birthday, Vickie!!  I couldn't find a picture or I would have posted one.

We hope that you two have a wonderful birthday.

We have closed on the new house and are working on getting everything unpacked.  This move was incredibly easy because of the moving company.  Literally all we have had to do is unpack our stuff.  We have decided that as we unpack if there is something we won't use or haven't used we are either throwing it away or giving it to Goodwill. 

Once we are settled in I will take pictures of the house with our stuff, but for now the pictures of the empty house will have to do.  I tried to name the pictures so that you can at least get a general idea of which room they are.  Here is the link for all of the pictures.

The top picture on the left is the view as you walk into the house.  You can see the living room which is open to the dining room and the kitchen. 

The bottom picture on the left is from the kitchen.  This picture shows how the kitchen is open to the living room.  To Mark's right is where the dining room is located.  We have a sliding glass door that opens to the patio out back.  We plan on eventually making the concrete patio into a paved brick patio.

The picture on the right is of the main bathroom.  You can see the two colors that the previous owner painted the walls.  We are not sure what rooms we are going to repaint.
