We had quite the busy (and fun) Thanksgiving 4 day weekend. On Thursday we went out to the Meeker’s house for a big Thansgiving meal. Spent most of the day out there watching football, eating, shooting hoops, playing with kids. The normal TGiving activities. Horrible NFL games on and I hope they ban the Lions [...]
Every year Sarah’s family heads up to Ottawa area to enjoy a place called “Grand Bear Lodge”. We do this as our “Christmas” pretty much. This year we went a month before Christmas to avoid the business of December. Everyone had so much fun as always. The kids loved the indoor water park again. This [...]
I’ll combine Halloween into one giant post this year. We had our annual Peterson pumpkin carving get together a few weekends before Halloween. Which pumpkin wins? (see images below). Drew also had a little school party for Halloween which he loved. Our Halloween was pretty sucky this year. Alyssa was sick and Drew wasn’t feeling [...]
Check this out. Sarah has always taken a picture before the kids first Halloween in a pumpkin diaper. I’ve put the 3 pictures together. It is almost frightening how similar Drew and Bryce look. Enjoy!
While daddy is slaving away at work - the family is off having a grand old time at Chuck E Cheese. I’m sure this is one of the playgroup outings or something. That’s ok, I’m not much for the plastic tasting pizza anyways.
Since I’m really just catching up on posts, the writing will be minimal but will have lots of pictures. We went to Apple Blossom Farm as a family and had a blast. Drew and Alyssa loved the big slide. We all enjoyed picking apples and Bryce just enjoyed life.
Here is a small little gallery of the family from some September events.
It’s been a busy summer. We’ve celebrated Alyssa’s 3rd birthday and enjoyed watching Bryce grow up a bit. Drew played in soccer and tball at the Morton Park District while Lissy did some ballet/dance. Sarah is just trying to keep up with all the kids. And Ryan is just working, Getaway Games and playing with [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
