Milwaukee County Zoo!

                 Our cute little family (We were laughing)
           McCarther Family (Kason, Sara, and Zoe)
                 Aaron & Kieley checking out the Lion
      Mr. Lion spotted me taking pictures of him.. Yikes!
Mr. Lion walked right over to me!!  So pretty but I'm glad there was glass between us :)
                           Yummy.. Ice cream!
               My handsome husband carrying our treat!!
               A pretty pond in the middle of the Zoo.  

We took Kieley to the Zoo for her first time Wednesday afternoon with our friends Kason and Sara.  Kieley loved looking at all the people more than the animals but there were a few animals that caught her attention... Mr. Lion being one of them. :)

A Sad Day

Wednesday morning was a sad day for Kieley and I. (Aaron too)  My little sister Bri went back home after staying with us for a month and a half.  I feel so blessed to have such a beautiful, smart, talented sister!  We had so much fun together.  Kieley loved playing with her auntie.  Thank you for all your help Bri, you're the best!  Love you.. see you soon! :)

Super Saturday!

                        Bri in front of Harpo Studios

Bri, Kieley and I went to Chicago over the weekend and had a great time!  The day started out a little rainy and I was worried about walking around the city with Kieley but then it cleared up and became a beautiful day.  We had so much fun and so did Kieley.  She LOVES, LOVES to people watch, it is so funny.  Every time we would walk out of a store onto the busy sidewalk of people she would get so excited and start talking and kicking her legs.  She's too funny! :)  

If you ever watch Oprah these are the condo's in her "neighbor" episode. :)
We were hoping Oprah would come out and say "hello" to us :)  Wishful thinking..hehe!

                                Wrigley Field!

Bri took this picture.. she thought it was a "cool" looking parking garage.

                   Trump Tower.. almost completed

           The "Magnificent Mile" treated Bri very good :)

Beautiful Bri, Me (without make-up) and baby Kieley (one of her many naps that day) 

I love this picture of Bri.. I think my little sister is so pretty!

Tagged, again! :)

How long have you been together? We have been married 4 years next month!
Who eats more? Aaron does for sure :)
Who said I love you first? Aaron
Who is taller? Aaron
Who sings better? I would definitely have to say Aaron!  It's so cute he actually turns on our radio in the shower and sings to Kieley during bath time, she LOVES it! (Don't tell Aaron I mentioned this..hehe

Who is smarter? Aaron is extremely smart! But I'm no dummy :)
Who does the laundry? Most of the time it's me but Aaron has been known to do a load of laundry here and there. ;)
Who does the dishes? Basically the same answer: Me but Aaron helps out too.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Aaron does, that was a hard adjustment for me after we got married.
Who pays the bills? Me
Who mows the lawn? Currently the landscape company at the apartment complex but when we do get our own lawn it will be Aaron. :)
Who cooks dinner? Taco Bell, Olive Garden, Panera Bread, etc. :)  I do some cooking too but Aaron usually takes over the responsibility on Sundays, it's awesome!
Who drives when you are together? Aaron
Who is more stubborn? We both are actually.  Aaron usually gives in first, most the time. :)
Whose parents do you see the most? When we go home to visit it's usually pretty equal or at least we try to make it that way.
Who kissed who first? Aaron kissed me first, he was all over me. :) just playing..hehe!  He really did kiss me first though. 

Who proposed? Aaron, it was so romantic!  He caught me by surprise because the month before he surprised me with Celine Dion tickets in Las Vegas and I thought for sure he would propose there in front of the Bellaigo fountains but nope he didn't do it there.  However, one Fall day at the end of September we were driving on the highway admiring the pretty colors in the mountains and he mentioned we should take a drive up the mountain and have a picnic I thought, "what a fun DATE". :)  Anyway, the following Saturday afternoon we took a drive up the mountain and stopped at the top where Aaron set-up the most romantic picnic for us.  He even backed up his jeep and started a cd he made with our favorite songs including "our song" that we listened to while we ate our gourmet sandwiches followed by fruit watching the sunset over Salt Lake City. It was amazing! He then said dessert was in the cooler and I should open it.  So my first thought was,"yummy, I wonder what's for dessert?", to my surprise I opened the cooler to find it full of my favorite roses and a card in the middle. I looked back at Aaron, he was just smiling and said I should read the card.  I immediately grab the card and opened it and found a ring cut into the middle of the card.  I was so surprised! When I turned around to look at Aaron he was on one knee and he proposed!!  So so cute!  And some how he timed it just right and "our song" was playing in the background.  It was the best!  (sorry the story is so long, but it's one of my favorite memories.)

Who is more sensitive? For sure me!
Who has more friends? Um.. I would say both of us are pretty equal in the friends department.
Who has more siblings? We both come from a family of 5. (including us)
Who wears the pants in the family? Aaron thinks he does but in reality it's 50/50.

I tag: Kirsche Brown, Melissa Caywood, and Jen Whitesides.

Take Me Out To The Ball Game

My Dad always finds a way to spoil his girls.  He bought us tickets to the Brewers game on Saturday.  I was worried because Kieley had an ear infection but between her hair bow covering her ears and Mommy's hands when the crowd cheered she did okay.  We had lots of fun!  Thanks, Dad!!
