Taste of Chicago 2011

We love the Taste of Chicago! This year Kelly and Patrick joined us. They had not been to Chicago in over 14 years. It was fun to take them. I think I only tried one new food item this year...deep fried green beans...they were yummy. Issabella ate half of them.



We always get our picture taken by Buckingham Fountain. This is were Seth asked me to marry him three years ago. This year Issabella was awake for the picture. She was just two months old last year.



We ate for a little bit and then walked uptown. We visited the American Girl store and Issabella really wanted a baby doll. I think this might be a good 2nd birthday gift. She could go up and pick one out. I love this picture of Seth and Patrick in the background.


We had a fun time and enjoyed our time with Patrick and Kelly.

ICOO Camp 2011

For the past week we have been down at Ross Camp in West Lafayette at the Indiana Conservation Officers Organization Camp. Seth was an officer counselor for the third time. Issabella and I spent five night with him. We had a good time. Our tent was big and we were able to put Issabella pack n play in it along with all our stuff and queen size air mattress. We had to leave Thursday night because Issabella was crying so hard. She had two teeth come in.


Issabella taking her first taste of quail egg...

She seemed to like it!

She ate two kabobs all by herself. They were turkey and goose and peppers

...she really liked them.

Water Day at camp. Issabella watching the campers with her daddy.

She loves to clap.

Issabella made a new friend Raegan. She was her buddy all week. When I get a picture of the two of them I will post it. Raegan was very kind to Issabella.

Our lunch!


A sip of daddy's frozen icee.


Sitting on top of the picnic table eating cheese fries....she ate half the order.


She loved getting rained on.


Smile!


I like lemon shake ups just like mommy!

It's a good thing our home in Brookston is only 15 mins from the beach...so we can go again when it will not rain on us.

Hard Day!

Issabella and I went to South Bend and had Ice Cream at Culvers. Then we came home and played in the pool. She loves her water. Here is a picture of Issa crashed out. I think she enjoyed the ice cream.

A Man of Many Hats

Monday was my first day of summer break. Issabella, Carter, Jenn, and I went to South Bend and cruised Old Navy and Target. Then we had dinner at Steak n Shake! Here are a few pictures from our afternoon together.

Issabella sipping on my Starbucks tea. Aunt Casi would be so proud. She only had one sip and then ate the ice when I finished it.
