Go Milwaukee Brewers!

Andy has been really into the Brewers this year and since there is a Brewers game on TV almost EVERY NIGHT I started to get really into baseball too. It is actually a more complicated sport than I thought- with a lot a strategy involved. The games are fun to watch. I even find myself watching a game even if Andy 's not home. Andy claims that I watch just to see my favorite player JJ Hardy. He is very easy on the eyes if you know what I mean. We got a chance to go to a game a few weeks ago, our seats were awesome!! We are soooo excited that the Brewers are going to the playoffs. Their first post season game is tomorrow, go Brew Crew!

A tradition at every Brewers home game... the sausage race!

I got a new Brewers hat at the game, it has become my "drop Tyler off at school uniform" since I never have time to do my hair that early in the morning.

I had to add a quick picutre of JJ Hardy, isn't he cute. Andy is going to make fun of me so bad for this but oh well. ha ha.

First Day of School: Sept 2, 2008

Tyler is in Junior Kindergarten! Here in Wisconsin they start kindergarten at age 4. It was crazy watching my little boy go to Eisenhower Elementary School. He is in the same class as one of his best friends Sam Crosby.

Isn't he the cutest kindergartener you've ever seen!

Lizzy's Birthday

My baby isn't a baby anymore! I can't believe Lizzy is one year old. She's had an eventful year with lots of fun times and a few hard times too. I made her a heart shaped birthday cake in honor of the scare her heart gave us and the surgery she had to repair it last December.

















This is Lizzy's little cake I made for her to dig around in. (See the video at the end of this post)

We had a little BBQ and birthday cake outside with friends the night before her birthday.






On Lizzy's actual birthday I wanted to do something she would really enjoy. I took her and Ty to the Children's museum. We spent the majority of time in the baby section where Lizzy could crawl all over the place and play to her little heart's content.

Then we, of course, ended her birthday with the presents from mom, dad, and Ty. She got a baby doll and a rolling phone toy. Here are some video clips of her birthday for those of you with time to watch.

Bike Trailer

I got a new bike for my birthday from Andy and I love it! I couldn't go biking as often as I would like because of the kids until... Marilyn gave Lizzy a bike trailer for her birthday. I've used it almost everyday to go biking since getting it. Ty and Lizzy love sitting back there, I highly recomend it to everyone. Last Saturday our whole family went biking on a trail by the Milwaukee river. We found a little place to stop and suddenly noticed there were frogs all over in the water. Tyler was in heaven and kept trying to make them hop by poking them with sticks- poor frogs.

Getting home to Daddy!

I forgot one last thing to post. I gave Ty and Lizzy suckers as we waited for the plane to take off, it was a big hit!

Tyler and Lizzy were soooo excited to see their daddy when we got off the airplane. When Lizzy saw him she gave him a big smile and one of her famous squeals. Tyler giggled and gave him a huge long hug. I think I was the most excited to see him- I really missed my Andy.

Last of the Trip to Utah pics

Strawberry Cake!! Here we are eating Marilyn's famous strawberry cake, it is my all time favorite cake recipe.




The wall of handprints in the "grammuh room" at the Hansen's house. The grandkids couldn't leave without adding their latest handprint.











My Mom, sisters, and Grandma Robison went to see Mama Mia and then the next day we went out to Lunch. It was so fun to have girls night out with no kids!

Tyler had fun snugglin' with Grandma
