It’s Alyssa’s 3rd birthday! I took the day off of work today so myself, Sarah, Drew and Alyssa could go have a fun day with the birthday girl. Grandma Knuppel is coming in to watch baby Bryce while we head out to Splashdown in East Peoria. Fun! Hopefully will have some nice [...]
Technorati Tags: Electricity,home
So what do you do with no electricity these days? No blogging! No Cardinal game on TV… Or the radio! No lights. No air conditioner. No NOTHING. We were without electricity for just 5 hours tonight. The kids thought it was awesome as they are infatuated with flashlights. So they shined those things [...]
Alyssa did dance/ballet, whatever you call it this summer. It was only 4-5 weeks long and once a week so not a lot. She would like it one week and hate it the next. Typical for a 3 year old I guess. Anyways, overall I think she enjoyed it and look at [...]
Back a few months ago a bunch from our small group decided we were going to run the Morton Pumpkin Festival 2 mile run. Yeah, I know… 2 miles is kinda weak. But hey, it’s not as easy as you think for someone who doesn’t run much anymore
So for the last few weeks [...]
Our Friday and Saturday were pretty uneventful this weekend. Which was NICE! With Sarah’s parents and our parents out of town, we had our Aunt Dana come in and watch Bryce on Friday night while we took the other two kids out for a “special evening”. Aunt Dana loves babies and has basically begged to [...]
So we ventured back to Pekin last night for “Dragon Land family night”. Dragon Land is a water park in Pekin that my kids love. They have a special on Tuesdays and Thursdays that your entire family can come from 7:00 til 8:30 for $7.50! Pretty good deal when 3-4 of you go. So I [...]
So we’ve always heard that going from kid number 1 to kid number 2 is the toughest. Going from kid number 2 to kid number 3 is supposed to be a “walk in the park”. Not so much the case here. When Alyssa was born we had a pretty easy time with the adjustment. Now, [...]
We had our first “Knuppel Reunion” in a very long time this past Saturday and it was a blast. A number of the Knuppel family made it out to the Manito Park for good times and good food. The group caught up on old times, threw the football around, tossed the bags, ate food, went [...]
For a few months now we’ve been meaning to try out the new “elevate church” in Morton since it is somewhat of a spinoff to Riverside. We finally made that happen yesterday. It went well, except that Alyssa didn’t want to cooperate at all. She was very clingy. The Church was very nice and everyone [...]
