July 4, 2008

For the 2nd year in a row, we spent July 4th at Kirstan's parents and the kids participated in the Northfield, IL parade.  The weather was absolutely perfect and we all had a blast.  Davis got to "hooda-hoop" and got her face painted.  Webb sported a few patriotic tattoos and drank a whole bottle of Gatorade on his own!  We were all pretty tired by the end of the day.  Davis even managed to catch the fireworks (at 9:30pm) without a nap.  You go girl!

At the Naperville Ribfest

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Kirstan and I love to watch Food Network.  Especially when they go around the country and document the many Chili Cook-offs, Pie Contests...and Rib competitions.  Well, tonight we experienced the annual Ribfest in Naperville, IL and had an absolute blast.  

Not only did we all get a taste of some phenomenal ribs but the kids got their groove on when Ted Nugent took the stage and rocked it old school.

Davis and solid food

I have been toying around with some new software in hopes that we can start posting some videos of the family online.  Here is the first video that I was able to produce yesterday...enjoy Davis and her first taste of solid food.

Happy Birthday Webb!

We spent the day at Grandma & Papa Bear's celebrating Webb's 2nd birthday.  In typical fashion, the day started with a pretty good threat of rain, but things cleared up nicely so we could enjoy the day in the pool as well as some good brats and ice cream cake!  Webb was so glad to see Kelsey, Declan and Conor Carroll as well as Izzy, Hillary and Schuylar Cox.  And a party is just not complete without Aunt Nancy!
