Miles and Miles of Fun

"On the road again," that was our theme song this past weekend. We decided to make our first trip to Newton this weekend. On Saturday, we headed to Newton only to stay there for a couple of hours and then drove back to Effingham for a graduation party for Jessica Keller.

Congrats Jess!!

On Saturday night, we went and visited with my grandpa and grandma. Allie got to meet her great-grandpa for the first time. We decided to do a four generation hand picture, however we were unsure of how to do it. So...if anyone has any suggestions on what its supposed to look like let me know!!

Sunday morning we woke up and decided to drive to Champaign to see Jason's parents. We stayed there most of the day and then when we got back to mom and dads, Julie and Ed were there waiting to see us.

It's alright Ed, she won't break:)

Monday was another busy day. In the morning, in between all the rain, Jason and I picked strawberries....so good!! We then headed to Olney to see Julie's newly remodeled kitchen. It looks very nice. I absolutely love it!!

From there we traveled to Noble to see Brooks Thomann's house. He and Kelly Kepley recently got engaged so I guess its now Kelly's house too!!:) They are working on fixing up the house but they really do have the perfect setup...10 acres, inground pool, a barn and lots of other extras!!!

Congrats guys!! Can't wait to celebrate the big day with you!!

  1. Sounds like Allie got to see the country side this past weekend! Looks like she had fun as well!! I love the close up pictures you get over her sitting up with her outfits. You will have to teach me that so I can take better pictures of my next children!

  2. I think if you grandma made any quilts that you should use that as your back ground in the hand pic. Cute idea of the hands. Allie is adorable.
