Is it Christmas time yet?

Tony Decorating the tree

He was more interested in playing with the train and watching a movie then taking pictures
PLEASE all I want to do it watch the movie!

Doesn't look to fake right :)

We spent Sunday afternoon decorating our house for Christmas! For those that know me know I have always had a real tree. I always told my mom if they bought a fake Christmas tree I was moving out. They bought a fake tree and I moved out :) OK Ron and I bought our house I really didn't move out because of the tree but I still! I guess I got older and wiser because we bought a fake Christmas tree today. I have to say it was a lot easier than a real one and not as messy! Ron asked me I needed to tell him something ;) I told him I didn't plan on moving out anytime soon! Tony had fun decorating the tree. We listened to Christmas music and watched Polar Express, it matches our new train we bought today as well! Once the rain lets us we move to the outside and of the house and get it all decorated next!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Tony is in the middle surrounded by the other team!
Let me have the ball!
I always wonder what goes through his mind...

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We spent the day at my parents house and Ron's Mom came over as well. Ron's dad, Steve, spent his Thanksgiving in Florida, lucky guy! It was a wonderful day with lots of good food and football.

Last weekend Tony had his first basketball game. Ron filled in as an assistant coach, Tony's team won 5-4! He is so small compared to a lot of the other kids and it is so funny to try and watch him shoot over them. I don't think he will be tall enough to be the next big NBA star :) But, one thing you can't take away from him is he plays hard!

Happy Birthday Ron!!

Ron had a birthday on Saturday! It was a very busy day for all of us! We started with basketball in the afternoon. We went to dinner downtown at St. Elmo's and let me tell you it was yummy!! We then went to the arcade and bowling! By the time we got home that night we were all exhausted.

Vote for Helio!!

Helio at the Indy Car Series Chicagoland Race in September

Well, Tony got sick Saturday morning :( So I don't have any pictures to update.

But, I thought since I was on the computer voting for Helio Castroneves on Dancing with the Stars I would post a reminder to everyone to please VOTE for him!!! I think a lot of people are starting to realize what I have said all along, that Helio being on this show will spark a new interest with the Indy Car Series. It is so much fun to see my work support him, another reason why I love my job!!
