Birthday Fun!

Here are a few pictures of Rich, myself, and my parents in Springfield, Mo. Rich had actually planned a surprise party back in Fayetteville, but we ended up leaving earlier than we had planned for a golf tournament in Columbus, OH. He was pretty disappointed that he had to cancel it, so he did his best to make the day special, and it certainly was.

Chicago, IL

We had a tournament in Chicago so mom drove up with me from Fayetteville a few days early. We had a super fun time, shopping, taking the public transportation like the blue line, sight seeing(we road the triple decker trolley and got a great tour of the city), and eating some really delicious food(including a few slices of the famous Chicago style pizza from Giordano' and popcorn from Garrett's). We ate dinner one night, once Rich arrived at Harry Caray's(you know the Hall of Fame baseball announcer?!!). We were told it was one of "the" places to eat while in Chicago. So we tried it out and loved it.....mmm yummy!!! It was our first trip to Chicago and one we will always remember.

just a little proud.....

We love all of our nieces and nephews so much. But, we really love this picture of our nieces - Hampton and Evie. Hampton will turn two in August and Evie is just over 5 months old. They are both so adorable and have added so much joy to our lives. Jen made their dresses especially for the 4th and you will be able to find them at loolabelle.com soon. Aren't they cute??!!!

happy fathers day!

Unfortunately we missed the cut in Minnesota but the good thing was that we were able to go home to Kansas to be with Rich's dad on fathers day.(and the rest of our family) We kinda pulled one of Dick's specialties - we surprised him!!! We got to spend time with the kiddos, take a tour of my brother's new home, and the boys got to go golfing.
