My sweet Tyler... 8/2/09... he was really sick this weekend, but with a steady dose of Motrin, lots of cool baths, near-total nakedness, and lots and lots of loving from Mommy, Daddy, and Gracie, Tyler is doing better. Probably an ear infection due to teething...that is generally the issue! Nothing antibiotics can't cure. :)
My Monkey girl...this is a tree in our "backyard" that Gracie considers her own. It is not a very old tree, not a very strong tree...but she loves it. She stayed with this tree for over an hour on 8/2/09, just playing with it...watering it...and climbing all over it!
Okay, it is going to get wierd w/the pictures now... This is from 8/1/09, the North Aurora Days Fair. Gracie and I and Alayna Gavin (daughter of a coworker who is becoming a great friend for Gracie...Alayna turns 4 in October) were on the Giant Spinning Apple ride (ask Gracie and Alayna....they refer to it as "The Pumpkins!!!!!!!") We had a blast!!!
Gracie and Alayna on the walk to North Aurora Days!
My Tyler - I dont know, he really looks like he has Matt's eyes in this picture.. Can I please get a baby who resembles me A LITTLE BIT!?!!? LOL!!
Gracie at home with her new Lightning Bug friend... this kept her occupied for quite some time. She did squeeze him though... and that wierd green stuff that makes them "lightning" bugs? Yah, she found that. 
Gracie and Tyler 7/26/09, in downtown Naperville at Potter's Mexican restaurant. They love each other!!! It is such a joy to be a parent to these 2.
Tyler at home! He is POSING! Seriously... he was crawling around, looking cute as ever... and so I got out the camera. He stopped, froze, and grinned. What a ham! He does love the camera - and he's already figured out that he can see himself in it after I take the picture!
Daddy and Gracie after Potters (see picture above of the kids). This is the best, most normal smile I could get out of her!
OKay, wierd!!! Matt playing ball at Benedictine University in Lisle. Check out the flexibility! Where did his leg go in Pic #2?!?! It was a great game - kids had a blast, and I love watching Matt play. I've been watching him play for 12 years now - and can't seem to get enough :)
Me and Gracie... Just hangin' out at Grandma Magis' house. She was hitting the camera with that stick...thought it was damn funny. Good thing she's cute.
She wanted a picture of her "laying in the grass"!!!!!!! Well, it's probably one of the best I've ever gotten of her - so, GOOD CALL GRACIE!
7/15/09 Gracie's first field trip w/her "class" at A Generation Ahead. check the cute T-shirts!!! It was also my first foray into the world of chaperoning. I loved it!! Matt came too - Gracie is such a lucky girl!!!
July 4th (and the next couple pics as well). After the fireworks, Gracie wanted Mommy's sweatshirt and Daddy's arms. Look how happy they are!!!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! A picture of Matt and Jackie that is NOT a self-portrait!!! At the Lisle Eyes to the Skies festival (in a Peoria T-shirt too!), it is our July 4th tradition of the last few years. Thanks to Melissa for taking the picture!
Gracie at Eyes to the Skies - Dragon Coaster girl! Her very first roller coaster ride - and we'll never get her off them, she is such a thrill-seeking child. 
With her Uncle Dave at the American English concert, July 3rd in Lisle. 
Matt and the Now Famous (in small circles) FOOT LONG CORN DOG!! LOL!!! This was sooo funny...and the dog disappeared in about 30 seconds too. ("what foot long? i dont see a foot long. 
Ty's a good boy - he loves the Beatles!!!! He was dancing, laughing, flirting with everyone... and up until almost 11pm that night! He did great - this is one of my fave alltime pics of my boy.
Kelly and Corey went to American English too!! And...Barb is there behind Kelly - it was a great time, can't wait till next year!!!
Me and my babies... LOVE this one.
Matt and Tyler, getting ready to go to American English (told you the pics were backwards :( ) What a handsome pair!
And...finally.... Me and Danielle in Springfield! Again, great time - can't wait till she lives closer!!!!!!!!!That's it for now... my fingers are tired, and i'm sure you are done reading :) Hope to see you soon!!!!!
Jackie
