The Land of Cheese and Beer!

So we had a great time in Mlwkee. The highlights were: hanging with Joe's neice and nephew, Cooper and Reece, and bro and sis-in-law, Jason and Shelly, watching the Brewers win in the last inning, sitting up close to the field, and eating at Red Robin.

The first day we arrived, we hung out in the backyard and had some slip-n-slide time with the kids. Boy the weather was hot! We then head to the Red Robin for a very yummy dinner! Saturday we hung out and got ready for the game, met up with Joe's parents and aunts and uncles and tailgaited in the heat. We ate lots of yummy food! The game was amazing- we sat right behind the Brewers dugout and didn't miss an ounce of action. The players talked to us, they threw balls to Cooper and Reece and we even saw Joe and Jason giving eachother high five on ESPN Sports Center the next day after a home run hit. Sunday's game was fun too- and then it was time to head back home Sunday evening. It was so nice to fly instead of spending 11 hours or so in the car! What a fun weekend.....it was a little hot for me (I had to put ice cubes on my arms and legs to keep cool) but so worth it to hang out with the Hammonds and have some Brewer fun (for Joe times that fun by 100 since he is a Brewers nut)!!

Milwakee Here We Come!

This weekend Joe and I are headed to what he calls "God's Country" - Wisconsin. We go to a Brewers game every year with his family, and this year we are taking in two games in one weekend. We are able to get in two games because we are actually flying instead of driving due to the great airfares right now. I am excited to not waste 11 hours of the nice weekend in a car!!! (Not that I don't enjoy our car time Joe- I just get antsy after like 3 hours.)
It will be fun to hang out w/ the Hammonds this weekend - get away, do something different, and relax at two ball games in the nice Miller Park.
Joe is the BIGGEST Brewers fan I know, so I know this weekend is like his ideal weekend: being in WI, hanging w/ family and taking in two Brewers games! He already warned me that our child will become a WI sports fan whether I like it or not. I guess that is one struggle I don't feel the urge to take on because I know I can't do anything about it! :)

Welcome to the World- Tyler John Tuttle

My cousin Heather had an adorable baby boy last week. It sure was a stressful week for the Hogan family with everything going on, but finally this bundle of joy came into the world. He is so cute, and Heather and Ryan will be wonderful parents. They live in California, so we may not get to see Tyler until he's a little bit older and bigger, but for now we will adore him via these pictures. I love the pic of him stretching out- he looks soooooo tall/long!

So I guess we are next- just three more months to go....crazy! :)
