September

September has been a great start. Jeremy and I have both been EXTREMELY busy at work... I guess I can say that for myself. :) GOTTA LOVE THE FLU SEASON! Yes, we sell the Flu Vaccine and we are the only ones in the country who still can order. So, support me and get a flu shot this year. :) You should anyway! We have been swamped with Flu calls and when will there be the H1N1 vaccine available (swine flu)? Ask the government!

Other than that Becca, Rylan, and I went up to Blair to see my brother Caleb at school. It was a nice evening... and then we went to check out his dorm. Nice, I just never lived in a dorm so I don't understand how SMALL they are. I never EVER had to live even in an apartment so I honestly don't understand. Anyway, it was a typical MAN room... no girly pictures, just plain and simple. tv, play station, bed, desk, fridge, microwave, and couch deal. All you need to get by. :) Well another thing I wasn't used to when we were walking up Caleb yelled girls coming up. No big deal I had that happen when I went to a frat as well... MY UNCLES frat when he was in college. Anyway, it was fine we checked out his room, blah, blah, blah and we were about ready to leave and Caleb was like let me just make sure that the guys are appropriate (which I was impressed with) anyway, he yelled... DUDE my SISTERS are here! Immediately they came running! (we didn't of course know this until later) So, while the guys were making moves to Caleb's room Caleb goes... "DUDE THEY ARE OLD" Gee, I didn't really feel THAT old until that. Thanks Caleb! It was rather funny! Thanks for the laugh! I guess I DO have a kid, I'm ALMOST 30, and I'm not in high school, or College anymore. I honestly thought it was pretty funny! Ask me and it is probably better telling you that in person than on here...

I do have pictures of Rylan being cool with Caleb's keys and stuff... but can't figure out how to take them off my phone. Any suggestions? Once I get that accomplished I will post them. :)
happy September and GO HUSKERS!

August

August has been pretty uneventful except for the fact that my OLDER sister turned the big 30 so Becca and I decided to throw her a big SURPRISE party! We did it without her finding out which I think is a HUGE accomplishment! GO US! I shouldn't take any of the credit because everything I was suppose to do I did NOT get them done before Becca did it. So, yes I am the middle child and things just aren't a huge priority. YES, they would have gotten done but not 2 weeks in advance. :) Thanks Becca! Rhiannon THOUGHT she was going to be surprised the next night because both Becca and I told her we felt bad that we weren't doing anything for her big day... ha! We tricked you RHIANNON!
Another big thing that happened in the month of August was Rylan got a 2nd tooth! Yes, after about 4 months of just ONE tooth he is getting more. Since yesterday there are three others coming in... I'm not sure if this is normal or if it just where they are cutting thru at but we may have a little gap on our hands in front of the front two teeth.... we will see when they really come in. :)

UP TO DATE

We are now up to date with what is happening at our house. My Goal is to update this more regularly! Wish me luck! :)
Have a great weekend!
Andrea

Our FIRST vacation!

So many memories have been made up at my Grandparents cabin in MN. We LOVE IT! This is our traditional family picture. You can't see it too well but this is a Welcome sign with each of our names on it. This is always the place where Jeremy proposed to me so very special place for all of us. This was our best day out on the lake. Rylan is driving and I'm not sure how he is driving with his feet but his Dad just showed him where the horn was so he's TRYING to make the horn blow.
Rylan Driving with Great Grandpa Jim... again amazing how at age one he knows what to do to make the boat go faster! Sunset cruise!.... and YES that is us in sweatshirts in the middle of JULY!

Mr. just a little tired


This is the fishing net that Rylan LOVED to play with. NO real fishing but he LOVED throwing it in and having us get it. After awhile we wouldn't get it so he started in for himself. He did actually fall in off the dock WITH his life jacket on!
My aunt Mary and her two grand daughters from AZ came. It was great seeing them. The last time I saw them Emily was 3 and now she's 10! Wow, they've grown up! Thanks for playing with Rylan so well! He misses you girls and so do I.
FIRST Jet ski ride.... and he loved it!

We went to an island and the two girls making their 'sand cakes' are my cousins Zoe and Emily. Okay, so the water was a little cold and it didn't really seem to bother Rylan. But towards the end he was shivering but wasn't happen when we made him get into the boat.
Rylan's words... yes I have TRIED to ruin whatever the girls are making but my MOM ALWAYS comes and gets me right before I destroy it. UGH!

And we are off....
Leaving Matt & Megan's off to Minnesota.

Becca's Wedding day!

Little flower girl. She was adorable. I know horrible I don't have a picture of the ring bearers... horrible mom I know.
Becca's mother in law getting ready!... and of course before they got their hair and make up done!
Final hair due.




Opps... more zoo pictures


Yeah, this picture made me a little nervous. He is watched all the fish in the water. HUGE AND GROSS!
It was fun taking him off this little elephant. :)



Tired even thinking about it!

Alright... well here is the story. My sister Rebecca is an avid runner. Never would have known that in High School because I was more the runner than either of my sisters. Anyway, she signed up for the Lincoln Marathon some day this summer... yeah good to blog after it is well over a month ago! I'll learn, maybe.
Anyway, I stayed at Rhiannon's the night before because the next week (I believe) was my little brother's High School graduation. Okay. So, Rhiannon and I worked on Caleb's scrapbook and then got up bright and early to go and cheer on Becca and different mile markers. So, we didn't really make the start but managed to get there for a FEW of the mile markers. So, two boys (Kenner and Patton... Rylan was with Jeremy in Storm Lake) Rhiannon and I got up, went and got a first class breakfast at McDonald's and headed on our way. Not eating in the car going to wait to eat it while waiting to see Becca. We no longer get across this bridge and she waives with a huge smile and says hi! I couldn't believe it! I had my camera ready and totally missed her. Go Figure! So, off we go and get back in our car... nope still no breakfast eaten. :) We managed to lock the keys in the car (yes Rhiannon's new car) So we get in with Mike and wow... I'm still happy to see that he still married my sister. It really wasn't a big deal but trying to go and find her at the next mile marker just wasn't going to happen so we went to the finish line. We dodged some police because there were two little Mr.'s not in their car seats. Thanks Mike! So, we were able to see Becca kinda saw her as we were RUNNING to the finish line (yes, very winded after running MAYBE a FEW blocks, if that!) So, we did kind of see her finish but couldn't get a picture... so this is the best I could do. :)
After going to see her run by the first stop... and then figuring out we locked the keys in the car... no spare. opps!
After the race and Mike & Becca dropping us off at Rhiannon's.

After the race (of many things) What a proud Fiance, at the time.... and then thinkin auh you have a couple of nuts for sisters!

FINISHED!



Way to Go Becca! I'm glad it was you and NOT me!

Opps.. a little out of order... I think one of those people were Becca.. .and if not pretend. :)... This was before the finish line. I was trying to stop while running and trying to beat her to the finish line.
All the people watching and then you should have seen the people pulled over along side of the road just watching! AMAZING... yeah again out of order. Towards the begining of the race.
