Jimmy's girlfriend









Jimmy's little girlfriend...Korissa Tanner-Marie Martin...she is two. Jimmy is going to her birthday party on Monday. He has only hit her three times so he must really love her.

Blizzard 2011

This blizzard happened the first week of February. Caused Reilly to have two snowdays (unheard of) and made Chicago weather history.
I love this pic. It shows how everything landed in drifts. It was so windy. You can see the grass in some places and then a few feet a way is a few feet of snow.
My front walk way.

Half way through the blizzard it died down a bit and I took a picture of how high the snow drifts were across the street at my neighbors.


Reilly and Emily had ablast the next day in the snow. This drift was right up to my neighbors fence.


How many Americans does it take to shovel a laneway!?



Emily's Birthday - Jan. 23rd

A little late on the pictures...sorry...just got the new computer up and running...
Emily requested a pink zebra and Barbie cake...here is what I came up with. This was for her kid party at Bouncetown. It was during the week (afternoon) so Reilly had to miss it...much cheaper at this time.

A few friends were invited...



Her family party was during a very important Bears game so we all wore our bears gear (had to buy a Bears shirt for Emily) and the girls had whistles for touchdowns (thanks Nana).
Jimmy was playing football too!


Everything zebra!

I found this cute "Mac and Cheese" shirt for her at Justice...it was obviously made just for her ;0)


A favorite gift...





Jimmy got Emily an "Emily" mug
Emily requested her favorite meal...Mac and Cheese...this is Cheddar Explotion (#1 in this house)...we also had scalloped corn and beef sandwiches




I made zebra cupcakes!
Emily let Reilly help her with the candles..
