Cleveland Visit

Jason and I went up to Cleveland for a wedding this weekend. We stayed with Joan and Frankie since they lived so close to the wedding location. We hung out and played some mini golf till it was time to go to the wedding.

Here is a funny thing that was written on Jason's malt cup.

Jason won the mini golf game by a couple strokes.

John and JoAnn were staying with Joan while we were there.


Joan, Frank, and Manni.

Here we are, all dressed up.

The Deckers were dressed fancy, too.

Karen and her dad.

Jason, Kristen, and Bryan played for the ceremony.

The wedding was at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens. It was such a beautiful location and the weather was really wonderful that day. The boys loved playing with the bubbles.

Karen and James shared the cake very nicely. No messes.

They had Rock Band set up to play during the reception.

There was a basket of toys and such for kids during the reception. Our table got ahold of the glow sticks and had a lot of fun.

Haircut completed

Based on how long I waited between cuts, Chewy will be getting his next haircut in March. Perfect timing!

Trip to the Zoo

Jenna, Eli, and I made a trip to the zoo this weekend. The weather was great, but the crowds were awful.

When we got back to Jenna's house, I picked up Chewy to head home. I forgot my camera so I had to run back in to get it. When I came back to the car Chewy decided he wanted to drive us home.

Getting Ready for Vacation

Jason and I are planning a trip to visit Scott in CA. Here are some things we are considering doing while we are out there.

San Francisco

Amusement Park

Wine Country

Visit BIG trees

Alcatraz

Lake Tahoe

Reno

Keep running, running, and running, running....

The Nike+iPod device is really cool. Here is the information from my first time using it. Remember, I am walking and running. Also, my 5 minute warm up and cool down are also in this "run".

Happy Birthday Rachel!

I didn't get a picture of Kennedy, but here are Madison and Eli.

Rachel's birthday is close to two of her friends' birthdays so they each had a cake.

Rockin' the Suburbs

Jason's dad, Kevin, is in a band that played at the St. Brendan's Festival this weekend. Tom and Kris were in town and were able to see him perform. We had so much fun listening and dancing in our seats. Check out the video clip of one of the songs.

Still running....

I'm still running. I am on week 2 of the c25k program. After talking with a couple of people I am going to invest in the Nike + ipod device. I also am planning on getting some shoes that I will designate for just running. It's hard to imagine that I will be ready to run a 5K at the end of October.

The Litzinger Zantopulos Wedding!

Beautiful weather for an outdoor wedding. The view at Confluence Park Restaurant was amazing.
Everyone enjoyed hanging out with the kids. Eli slept a lot during the event and Mackenna enjoyed playing with bubbles and dancing the night away.

It was a beautiful ceremony and reception. The speeches had everyone in tears. Sara and Adam looked wonderful and very much in love. I just love weddings!

Sit on this!

Here's a recent picture of Chewy. His tongue is always out!

Jason and I built this bench/table this weekend. The back rotates up into a tabletop.

You are a Pirate

The Friday concert was great. Tons of kids were there and danced to the pirate tunes. They have another concert on Sunday at 6pm. You should go, they are a lot of fun.

Jason has a fighting scene. Don't worry - he won on Friday. I hope he also wins on Sunday. :)

The tomatoes are finally ripening!
