Help Me Decide

I have compiled some pictures (some you probably saw already) of Eliana that I took on a couple different days at Memorial Park. I'm looking to make one of them into a 16"x20" canvas. I would greatly appreciate your help in helping me decide which one to make into the canvas. This will be on our wall for a long time and I can't decide! Either leave me the picture number(s)(found when you hover over the slide show) in the comments or email me. Thanks a bunch!

Sad Day :(

Today Ben is leaving to head up the youth rally in Green Lake. Two years of hard work are coming due. We will miss him greatly.

Daddy's Day

Ben will be gone beginning this weekend through next weekend. He's got Pastor's Conference and then the youth rally he's worked so hard to organize is finally here. He'll come home on Saturday and we'll be driving to Minoqua on Sunday (Father's Day). To make a long story short, Ellie and I gave him his Father's Day gift on Friday. Here's part of it, I made this as an 8x10 storyboard.

Hat Time

Eliana has mastered putting the ball in the basketball hoop, but now she's working on slamming two at a time.

Grandma Shannon had hats made for all her sons and grandsons. Ellie likes to wear Ben's hat.

Can't get enough...

...of the sunglasses. She LOVES wearing her sunglasses. :)

Play Date

Yesterday we had a play date with Evan and Melissa. Ellie recently got a kitchen, grocery store, washer and dryer, dollhouse, and picnic table so we thought we'd share with Evan.

They were so cute together. They fed each other cheerios and Evan even held Eliana's cup while she took a drink. They're the cutest :)

Clean Up Time

Apparently Ellie thought I was going to vacuum because she put most of her toys on the couch, which is what I do when I vacuum. She's always trying to help me out.

In the Stadium

Jenny and me again.

Drew and Ben...again.
The four of us always have such a great time when we get together, I wish we got together more often. Our group ended up sitting in 4 rows in front of each other. Jason did a great job of getting out tickets, considering there were almost 30 of us.
Of course it wouldn't be a Brewer game without the sausage races.

I'll try to post more regularly, life is slowing down just a bit. Friday was a whirlwind with me showing Ben the ropes at diaper study, then rushing off to physical therapy (I've got a problem with my left shoulder, old injury from college that's progressively gotten worse), and then my working pre-op it was a crazy day. Then of course the game on Saturday. Sunday was pretty low key and after church I honestly don't remember what we did other than going to Subway for supper and getting Eliana a mattress for her pack n play.

More 30th B-Day

Uncle Carl in the background and "Eggie" Jason's college buddy.

Jason's trying to protect himself because Shauna and Julie like to show off "the poof", what they call Jason's chest hair.

Whenever the guys get together they ALWAYS do car bombs.

Thankfully, keg stands only happen once in a great while. I don't think I want to know half of the things Jason did in college.

Jason's 30th Birthday Bash

On Saturday we headed to the Brewer game on a bus for some tailgating and fun for Jason's 30th Birthday. There were quite a few people there to join in the celebration.

Jason, Ben, and our good friend Drew.

Cousins Morgan and Shauna playing around. He's does a good job as a brother torturing his little sister.
Grandma Shannon, me, and Drew's wife Jenny (we went to Miami Beach with Jenny and Drew) doing a shot of Bailey's in nasty used plastic cups.
