Kyla and the Christmas Tree.

This year is really the first year that Kyla can take notice of the Chrismas tree. She loves it. We have had to put all the ornaments out of reach!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Brian carving the turkey.

Kyla thought it was great fun to climb on Grandpa to get up on the couch!

Uncle Charles, & Kyla.

Happy Halloween!

Kyla, our little pumpkin. She didn't wear the costume for long!

Dylan, the scary reaper guy. Logan, Bumblebee from Transformers, and Kyla the pumpkin.

Happy Birthday Logan!

Logan turned 5 this year, I can't believe it myself. We went to Chuck-E-Cheeses to celebrate. The kids had a great time, I think Dad did too!

Here's Logan & Brian playing a fire fighting game. Logan was pretending he was Grandpa Rog!

Meeting Chuck-E.

My babys.

Watching the show.

Summer Daze.....

It's been quite a while, but we've had very a busy summer!
Brian and Logan were in our friends, Jeff and Kelley's wedding. Don't they look handsome?



Amelia came home for a visit, and we got together with Dad for a nice dinner.

Ask her about this night!

The boys continued to act goofy!

Kyla learned how to pull herself up!

We spent a lot of time at the pool!

Both boys became good swimmers!

Little Kyla wasn't too sure about any of it.


Dylan turned 11!

We went go-carting.


And mini-golfing.

Brian and I went on a couple of bike trips. One to Milwaukee for Harley Davidsons 105th Anniversary.

Kyla turned 1! She started walking exactly one week before her birthday.

She's very fond of her baby doll.

Before we knew it the boys were back in school. Now it's starting to get cold. Hope to see everyone for the holidays!

Happy Birthday Grandma Neumann!

Last weekend we took the kids to visit my grandma in Illinois, for her 92nd birthday. We had a nice time visiting with everyone!
Four generations.

Great Grandma and Kyla.

Picnic.

Ike and Andrew gave us all a wonderful show! Thanks guys!

Then Dylan gives it a try.

Phillip, AJ, and Logan. We didn't hear much from these boys all day...as you can imagine, they were much too busy!

Dylan and Serena.

Tractor rides for everyone!

Vegas Baby!

Brian and I took a trip to Las Vegas with our good friends John and Jamie Botts. Here we are on Fremont Street, after a wonderful meal at Hugos.

Here are John and Jamie then too.

And of course a picture of our proud boys drinking those 100oz. cocktails! It was a crazy night!

Road Trip!!!

Memorial Day weekend Brian and I took a road trip to Charlotte, North Carolina, to see the Coca Cola 600 at Lowes Motor Speedway. It was a very long drive, but we stopped in Louisville, Kentucky, to visit my cousin Jake, where we tied one on pretty good. Huh Jake?

There were tons of things to do before the race. This picture is for Logan, because we know he loves monster trucks. Ha!

Because it was the Coca Cola 600 after all there were plenty of Coke vendors and silly things like this.

Of course we couldn't pass up seeing how fast my hubby could change a tire like the pit crew does!

You didn't think I'd actually tell you how fast he was, did you?

Well ok, it seemed a lot faster at the time. Ha!

Then of course we had to pimp ourselves out to sell our spare tickets. It didn't take long. But it sure felt funny standing on the highway waving them around.

Finally inside at the track.


These helicopters got so close you could've thrown a rock and hit the pilot!! It was very exciting.

And of course, the fly over.

Gentlemen! Start your engines! I was so excited I could hardly stand it!

Line 'em up boys.


Go Jimmie!!! Little did I know... :(

Night racing.

Sprint Fanview was neat. We had a fantastic time at the race!
