Doug's 60th Birthday

A photo slideshow by Smilebox

Last week of October

Well it was a busy week. Mike and I went on a trip to Oahu, Hawaii. One of my BFF's lives there now and had a blessing ceremony. It was an amazing week were we got to spend time with old friends and make some wonderful new ones. There were several couples and singles that all stayed at a Plantation house and hung out for the week together. Hawaii is such a beautiful place to go with so many things to do. But, you still feel relaxed the whole time. The ceremony was simply exquisite. I am already missing them and the time there so much. Thank you to Rich and Jodi for all the time you spent planning every little detail not only for your ceremony but for the full week of excursions. We had a Blast.

While we were gone Mom came up for two weeks, Debby took off work for a couple of days and Dad came up for a couple of days to help out. Thank you for all the help so Mike and I could get away and not be worried about the kids. The kids had a great time spending it with all them and we have had to do some major redirecting since we have been back to bring them back to reality. Way too spoiled. ;-)

For those of you who have wondered about my obsession with picture taking now you will find out where I got it from. My mother did not want anyone to miss out on a very busy week in the Kroeschen family, and one that she knew I would have fill my disk full of pictures of. So she took a few pictuers of everything. So they are all three long but I could not delete very many of them.

End of September

Michael had his 32 Birthday on Sunday. We celebrated all weekend. Friday Tom came up and we had a steak and crableg dinner with chocolate lava cake for dessert. Sat. we had a family day and then Mike and I went out for a birthday date night. Sunday mom and dad stopped by on their way from Chicago to St.Louis for brunch. Then I tried cooking for Mike. I know this is a pretty scary thought for those of you who know me well. I spent several hour in the kitchen cooking believe it or not and so far the house has not burned down and no one is showing any signs of sickness. I got out my grandma Dorma's recipes and away I went. We now have Italian Beef, Mini Meat Loaves, Cheesy Potato Soup, and Wonderful Apple Dumplings. Thank you Grandma for the easy recipies you share with me. All-in-all I think Mike had a spectacular birthday with his family and a whole day of nothing on TV but Sunday Football. :) Love you babe!

We had a fun and exciting time in St.Louis. We experienced: a bus ride, a train ride, a museum, heights, a baseball game, riding a bike in the big city, Soulard farmers market, eating dinner on a patio and a terace, and some good old family time.

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying this fall weather! We love it at our house.

August and some of September 2010

We have been without a computer for some time now. We have been very busy traveling and will continue to do so for the next month and a half. Most of the pictures are from my phone so they are not the best. I hope everyone is doing great and enjoying this wonderful weather. I love this time of year.

Emmalee went to the Dentist for the first time with Uncle Tyson. She got to sit in in the back and watch her mommy and daddy get their teeth cleaned and ask questions. Then it was her turn. He did a wonderful job with her. It was the one of the first times that I have ever seen her be hesitant about doing something. But once he came out and talked to her she hopped in the chair and did great. She has her daddy's teeth, which is a good thing.

First day of Pre-school. My little girl is getting so big. She seems to be enjoying school very much. She is in class with her BFF Emily which, probably helps with seperation. Stacy and I are a little surprised we have not been called into the office yet. HaHa!
