Unaccompanied minors

I know I am so far behind on my blogs but I do hope to get better. The kids made it to AZ safely and had a good time. They also have since made it back home. They were ready to come home after being gone all of June and then coming to the new home for 2 weeks to leave again for 1 week was a lot of traveling for these to kids. But they had a lot of fun and made great memories and the best part both sets of grandparents said they would let them come back. So here are pictures from when they left to AZ and when they came home.
            ON THE WAY TO TUCSON

             Boogie loved the people walker

                            Birdie

 
  Birdie and Boogie ready to board their plane

 Bogie was very excited

One last shot before they board

  The walkway being pulled away

    It is ready to leave

  If you look hard you can see their plane to the left of the sun

                                     

WOOOHOOOOO THEY MADE IT HOME
                                         
  Here comes their plane

                             

I was ready for them to get off at this point

  HERE THEY COME no more pictures after this as soon as i was done taking this picture they were both in my arms.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures.

My sisters visit to Chicago

I know this is a little late but hey I have a busy life LOL. My sissy came to visit me and hubby about 2 weeks ago. So that she could tour Chicago and just have time with me. When she came she had a list of things that she wanted to complete, and I think we came pretty close to completing the list. Let's see if we did or not.
Beckys List
1. Kate Spade Outlet = Yes
2. Sear Tower (which is now the Willis Tower) = Yes and have pictures to prove it
                              

   My sissy

   Us

 My sissy, my hubby, and myself

 My sissy, myself, and Nancy

3. See Giant Bean = Yes (have pictures to prove that as well.

 Standing under the bean

4. See Millennium Park = Yes (got pictures to prove that too)

5. The Magnificent Mile = Yes ( I even have pictures of that)

6. Unpack scrapbook stuff = Yes (took pictures of that too)

7. Wrigley Field = No
8. Solider Field = No
9. Lincoln Park Zoo = No

So I would have to say that 6 out of 9 things is not that bad. I love my sissy and I am so glad that she came to visit.
