Brian Regan!

This past Thursday night Griffin and I went to see Brian Regan perform live in Milwaukee.   He is our favorite comedian and we were so excited to see him live.   It was a great show!  We laughed so hard that we were both crying.   We know alot of his material so we were thrilled to hear some new stuff.   His new stuff is just as fabulous as his older stuff - all very hilarious!

If you have never heard of Brian Regan I greatly encourage you checking him out on YouTube or on his website.   Here are two YouTube links of him:

St. Patrick's Day

I know St. Patrick's day was a couple of weekends ago....but I just got the pictures from the weekend and didn't want to miss blogging about it.    It was a great weekend filled with family parties and parades.   

Saturday we had lunch with my Grandparents and it was wonderful to see them.  Then we headed over to my cousin's house for their annual St. Patrick's day bash....so much fun!    Then on Sunday we went to Meredith and Terry's for breakfast before the big South Side Parade.   This was Griffin and my first year going to the South Side Parade - and it is as crazy as we heard it to be.   Our nephew Jack loved seeing all the fire trucks and getting candy tossed to him.   After the parade we had another great meal at Janet McGuffage's house with Terry's side of the family.    

And in all that busyness we still found time for a couple rounds of Boggle with my Mom and brother.   It was a great weekend!

Happy Birthday Griffin!

Today is Griffin's 31st birthday!   I thought I would post a couple of baby picture of him in honor of his day.   (He was an adorable child!)

This first picture is one of my favorites.   This one picture says so much about who Griffin is as a person.   This picture expresses how smart, creative, thoughtful, independent, fun and adorable Griffin is.

These next couple of pictures are ones that I thought were really cute too..........

This last picture isn't a baby picture, but it is one of my most favorite pictures of Griffin that I just had to post it.      

Happy Birthday Griffin.   You are my best friend and the best husband I could have ever hoped for.....I hope you have a great day!    I love you

The Dells

Everyday I thank God for Griffin, so when occasions like his birthday come around, I can't help but celebrate.   So this past weekend we went to The Dells to start the celebration.   We had a great time relaxing and even got the chance to go skiing.   The Dells aren't as glamorous as Colorado (of course) but considering my novice skiing status and the shorter travel time - it was the perfect alternative for us.   

Sadly we didn't take one picture all weekend.....but it is probably better that way considering skiing left us with wind-chapped faces.
