The Cruise Crew

We just got back from seriously the most fun vacation we've EVER had!  We went with our besties, Tiffany and Randy, to the Bahamas on a cruise.  Bryan and I were new cruisers and we LOVED it!  I'm having some withdraws not laying on a beach with my love...and Bryan;)  The Brimhalls are leaving us for a job in Arizona even though we said we would "....never ever ever leave each other!"  I love these people like family.  I am so glad Bryan and I both found our true best friends this first year in Chicago.  I swear me and Tiff were separated at birth.  We finish each others sentences and are always thinking the exact same thing.  We are the same person.  And we have threatened our husbands on many occasions that we would leave them for each other.  Yeah it's that serious.;)  It was a bitter sweet trip ending with a sad goodbye at the airport...in front of a ton of people.  They are friends we will have forever and we're already planning our next rendezvous.  We sure did miss our Madden and Henry, but a kid free trip with best friends was just what we needed.  Enjoy these little snippets of our trip!

This sign says it all

We love you Brimhall's and have talked about y'all and our trip non stop!  And next time we will be cruisin like the pros;)
Instagram version of our trip soon to come!

Spilled Milk

Just a lovely afternoon on the deck with a little snack.  Henry loves his milk, that is no secret, especially strawberry milk.  Pink milk just happens to be one of my faves as well.  Weird how he picks up these things.

This was inevitable

A hot mess...God love em

US Weekly

This week was a super busy one, but that's how we like it.  Bryan is wrapping up his first year of dental school! YAY!  I can't believe it's already been a year!  He has had very successful first year.  I'm so proud of his hard work and passion for his future career.  We are loving this fun city and the friends we have made.  Our week in review...

Went to a fabulous Kentucky derby party hosted by the Booth's where we got to wear obnoxiously big hats and eat yummy food.  Oh and there is the cheering for those beautiful horses:)  It totally felt like home.  I was particularly proud of my derby pie!  Thanks uncle Clyde for the awesome recipe!

Henry's first bestie, Madden, turned 3 this week!  We had so much fun at his ADORABLE little man's tea party.  Madden is the sweetest, most well mannered, funniest kid ever!  I'm glad Henry has had him as a best friend and good example:)

The birthday boy in his little man best.

THE BEST CAKE I"VE EVER HAD. PERIOD.

We love our little men!

My mom turned 55! WHAT?!  My mom and me are seriously BEST friends.  I know, if you would have told me this in high school I would have laughed in your face.  But seriously, I go to her for everything.  She is the most kind, selfless, loving person I know.  She loves her family more than anything and is constantly showing us.  She's not a regular mom...she's a cool mom!  And looks absolutely fabulous!!  Can't wait to see her in 4 days!!  

We went to our first of many Cubs games this week!  We went with our favorite people, The Brimhalls.  Wrigley Park is the coolest!  It's got a very classic Norman Rockwell feel to it.  Of course we indulged in every terrible ballpark food:  hotdogs, nachos, giant pretzels, and dibs.  I was a little disappointed there were no funnel cakes(who doesn't have funnel cakes at a ball game?) but no worries I put in a request with the concession guy.  And yes they played the Braves.  I was extremely torn who to cheer for and I didn't want to get stabbed, so I wore my cubs gear but my heart was for the Braves.  I think they understood...they won!

Bryan takes baseball very seriously

Bryan's a sasquatch in this pic.

Don't worry y'all the fun isn't stopping anytime soon.  We leave for our cruise to the Bahamas with our loves in 5 days!  We are beyond excited and in serious need of a break.  I mean it just seems like we're not having enough fun;)
