You are too cute Jen. And you are CRAZY! We thought you were nuts wakeboarding at 16 weeks preggo, now you're doing it at 6 months!!! What are we going to do with you?
hey! I was looking at your blog from tim and Kimberly pettitts blog and noticed in one of your pictures your baby carseat has a cover on it! Where do you buy one of those?
What a beautiful place Jen! I loved the pictures of the area outside of Chicago. That is so neat you got to see a new place & enjoy a break. (now I really want to go to Chicago even more...)
Cute pictures! ;) I hadn't seen the United Center/Wicked ones. (Burning a disc with all the pics for you guys is on my todo list!) We were glad to have you guys come! Trips are fun with friends and we'll have to do another one again sometime! Disneyland would be fun, huh? ;)
Those are the most beautiful pictures of the country, wow! It looks like you guys had so much fun. I want to see the rest of your trip. So fun!!!!
loved all the pictures Jen-- you are a very cute pregnant girl. Your trip sounded way fun!
I am so glad that you posted a ton of pictures of your trip. Seeing you wakeboarding flashed me back to the good ole' days with the fearsome!!
Tell me more about wicked. Did you love it? I am trying to convince Nick to take me to Cali to see it. I am so glad that you guys were able to have a vacation just the two of you before the babe comes. There is just something about having two that makes one on one time together with your hubby a little difficult!
Anyway you look cute and I am so glad you had fun!
That looks so beautiful! What fun! I absolutely love the view from the lake house! I have never been to Chicago, but I have heard that there are some great things to do there...looks like you hit a couple. Glad you had fun!
What a lot of fun! Jen, I can't belive you are wakeboarding while being prego--wow, what a woman! Wicked is amazing, isn't it? If possible, I would have season tickets to Wicked. I thought it was "Wickedly" good.
