I finally bought a memory card to replace the one that I lost so can now post some overdue pics. Memorial Day weekend was spent up north in Townsend, WI with Brad's great aunt, cousin and his 2 kids and of course Jillian, Brad and I. The weather was beautiful all weekend which is rare. The kids had a blast playing outside and fishing and going for boat rides. The parents even got to go out Saturday night while Auntie stayed with the sleeping children. We put the top down in our jeep which once we started going was "too windy" according to Jillian. The other 2 pics of Brad and I were from the previous weekend from our getaway-hiking a bluff outside the Dells.

Weekend Getaway
This past weekend, Brad and I took a mini roadtrip just the two of us. It's not hard to become distant as a married couple with a child and full time jobs so we thought it would be nice to get away for some bonding. We had no reservations or mapped out plans so it was fun to be spontaneous which isn't always possible with a little one. We stayed in Waupaca the first night and went swimming and hot tubbing then took our time and headed to the Dells Saturday. It was pretty crowded as a result of a car show which was a surprise bonus for Brad. We went horse back riding and climbed a trail to the top of a bluff in a state park...hard to believe for those of you that know Brad:) It was lots of fun although wouldn't suggest wearing white Coach tennis shoes on a trail...
Jillian barely knew we were gone while she kept busy at my mom's. I had apparently forgot to put our memory card in the camera so the pics that we took are on internal memory and I have no idea where the cords are for hook up to the computer-oh well can't remember everything!

Jillian's one and only picture that our photographer was able to capture the day of our shoot. I think if she would have cooperated they would have been great! I'll take this one - whatever I can get from my hard-headed 3year old:)

Happy Mother's Day!

The morning started off well when I got to sleep in! I had to pretend I was sleeping as Jillian and Brad "snuck" out of the house to get supplies for breakfast. (Jillian is the loudest 3year old I know so it wasn't very sneaky:) Jillian picked out purple flowers-her favorite color-and after presenting them to me stated that I should share them with her so that they were the both of ours. The card was very cute and suiting to Jillian- It read -Have a Happy Mother's Day...or I'll throw a tantrum. We headed to my in laws after lounging and had quite the crew. Lots of mom's to celebrate with including mine so we didn't have to split up our time between houses which was nice. Great day. Jillian and I took a picture together but were facing the sun so our eyes were closed:( Oh well.

Day at the Zoo

Jillian and I ventured to the zoo with my mom and John and had a great time. We get a membership every year from Brad's mom and love putting it to good use. The weather was pretty decent and most importantly it was not crowded! Jillian loves all the animals but the reptile house remains her favorite. Lots of fun. We saw a baby monkey playing and attempting to eat his poop and that just thoroughly entertained Jillian. (and my mother) We came home and ate dinner then took a walk to the park. Brad is up north and I enjoyed the alone time with J.
