Summertime!

We are so happy to finally be able to soak in the sun full time.

 Got the pool set up, ready for the festivals to begin, and looking forward to busy weekends with our fave people.

Ah, really, what could be better?

Dear Turbo,

Well, you know.

(1st Annual) Zoo & Brew

Saturday we loaded our car with food and drinks and headed to Milwaukee with 25 of our fave Ky&Co supporters for the First Annual Ky&Co Zoo&Brew. We had an amazing time soaking in the sights of the zoo all afternoon, tailgating and playing at Miller Park, and watching the Brewers until way past the little ones bed times. It was such an unbelievably wonderful day, I am already looking forward to doing it again next year.

Because I Love My Children...

I caved to their repeated pleas to brave the heat and the crowd for a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity to see the Stanley Cup the day before my highly anticipated, ridiculously over planned, first annual Ky&Co Zoo & Brew. 

The day was long, the weather was hot, the crowds were massive (I heard 2 million people), but the kids loved it. I hate to say they were right...it was an awesome, once in a lifetime experience. 

The E Kids, waiting for the parade to start.

It was only an HOUR behind schedule.

Thanks to Aunt Patti for snapping this cute pic of me & Lucy.

We really lucked out being next to that van...

we all scored free t-shirts and water from the Coke guys in it.

Aunt Lisa and Gretchen were brave enough to

accompany us on this (rather insane) journey to the city.

Ugh, the crowds...Rex & I 'chased the cup' in this crowd

 trying to get him a glimpse of it after he missed in it the parade.

Needless to say, we gave up and watched it on the big screen.

Making a Chicago landmark that much more historical.  

Woo Hoo! My fave Hawk...Big Buff!

There it is with Kane & Toews!

WOOT WOOT

HooRay Hawks! Think we might have to go to Chicago for the parade!!

So, it turns out Lucy LOVES watermelon.

Who knew?

Sorry No Time, Busy Getting My @$$ Kicked...

Sorry that this post is so long awaited, and lacking anything you might really want to read about! I am so horribly busy right now, that I kinda feel bad about the last hour I spent watching the end of Crazy Heart (been watching it in hour increments for the last 3 days) and the few minutes I am going to continue to steal to type this blurb!

Turns out my little shop is starting to be not so little anymore. I have been steadily busy since Earth Day and I am trying so very hard to find the perfect balance between what I want to do and what I need to do to make the most of this awesome opportunity. Of course, all of that depends on how much spare time I have to commit to the Co and still raise (somewhat) normal kids. (Not to mention I have to pay some attention to Turbo!)

Anyhoo...I do have lots to share, just no time to share it. We've been enjoying the warm weather, are gearing up for Ky&Co's 1st anniversary and 1st annual Zoo & Brew, and preparing our pool and social life for another fantastic summer! When we get that under control I'll steal a little more time to type!
