Carpool Shenanigans

Seriously, not one but TWO nights this past week it took 2 hours to get home from work. What the Whaaaa?

It's a good thing Niki Minaj carpools with me most days and will act a fool right alongside me.  I know the coolest people.  Just sayin'.

The Parents & Tyler Take On Chicago!

I'm ridiculously behind on this blog.  I need to wrap summer up being that we are now well into fall.  Okay, here's the rest of summer....

My parents came to visit (and to pick up Austin) and brought along my adorable, mischievous and hilarious youngest nephew, Tyler, with them.  It was super fun.

We went to the beach for a little sun bathing, picnic lunch eating and swimming.  It was fun while it lasted as made apparent by the pictures. Unfortunately, it didn't last long because some weird summer storm rolled in and it started raining like a mugg.

So, we packed it in, ran to the car and headed to the South Side so I could show everyone where I worked.  There were some students playing around the school so I put my sunglasses on, slouched in my seat and told my family to hang on because we were making this drive-by quick.  It was still summer break, after all.  Ms. Phelps wanted to remain anonymous.  You feel me? :)

We did a lot of sight-seeing.  Tyler in particular mentioned two things that he HAD to do while visiting Chicago - 1. Visit the Bean.  2.  Eat as much Garrett's popcorn as humanly possible.  Aunt Queen made both of those things happen!

My Dad insisted that I take his picture waiting in line at Garrett's as proof that he stood in line on a Sunday morning for popcorn and vowed to NEVER let that happen again! That's my Diddy! 

The following are just random pictures of Country come to Town! :)

Lord Jesus that is the cutest face ever in life!

It's no lie that I'm in love with these boys. 

One of the other really cool things we did was visit Arlington Park.  Going to the horse races with my Dad has always been one of my favorite things and this was no different.  The park is gorgeous and it was a great time.  We are absolutely going back every time that he is here! 

Summer was fantastic!  

They are coming back for Thanksgiving and I couldn't be happier!
