I wish I had more pictures to document the weekend, but I only got some from our afternoon on our friend Bruce's boat below.<br /><br />We grilled out with friends, got free Chick-Fil-A sandwiches, watched the Buckeye game (I LOVE FOOTBALL!!!), went for a 28 mile bike ride with Shawn on our friend Sandra & Travis' tandem bicycle, had a great brunch at John's house after, and took the kids on their first boating trip out on Geist Reservoir. It was a busy but really fun weekend!<br /><br />So check out the boat pics - probably the most amazing thing for me was watching my 4 year old water ski!!! Yes you heard me right - he WATER SKIIED! Our friend Juli and her 6 year old daughter went on Bruce's boat with us, and Addison is quite the little skier. Blake was so mesmerized that he wanted to try it (and Evan and Grant wanted NO PART of something that "dangerous"). Well Addie's ski board was pretty cool - it lets them water ski without actually using the tether to help keep them up out of the water. They hold onto the tether, which is connected to the ski, but the boat pulls the board. They just have to balance - very cool, so if you have young kids who like the water, I would highly suggest this! Blake can't wait to do it again - even after wiping out twice! Yep, he's definitely my "no-fear daredevil"!<br /><br />Hope you all had a great Labor Day as well!!!</span><br /><br /><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr4ypuYlltUCi_wfRzwRXyy6oHD6QfrbCV-4qZwLVIIzrTYxJVggBd4PeAO-OZJYvqcb__-iSgCVfB2FxdhvxC2Xis8l9fSDqNpaVlzDRSSbjhBocepqt_RQ9sk5hgt94n1vc6jQ/s1600-h/041.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379089163503655298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr4ypuYlltUCi_wfRzwRXyy6oHD6QfrbCV-4qZwLVIIzrTYxJVggBd4PeAO-OZJYvqcb__-iSgCVfB2FxdhvxC2Xis8l9fSDqNpaVlzDRSSbjhBocepqt_RQ9sk5hgt94n1vc6jQ/s400/041.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><span style="color:#000099;">After his first wipeout, he was a trooper and got right back on the skis.

Now if I'm being honest, I should tell you that up until about a year ago, I never would have considered going, and I haven't been to the others we've had in the past - but a little thing called Facebook literally changed my mind.<br /><br />If you don't know what Facebook is, it's a social networking website that lets you find and reconnect with friends old and new. Now obviously there are people for and against these sites, but for me personally, it has brought me back in touch with people I really thought I would never see or hear from again. In my younger years, this probably would've pleased me - but I hope that I've "grown up" over time, and it's true that the things that were significant in high school don't mean jack squat nowadays. Life is too short and too important to waste on the petty stuff - and that has been reaffirmed through Facebook and my Reunion.<br /><br />We had a pretty huge graduating class (800ish), and a good number of them showed up Saturday night. I was nervous at first, but it quickly dissipated. I think everybody had a wonderful time, and through Facebook and the Reunion, I found that I know/remember a lot more people from high school (my class in particular) than I thought I did.<br /><br />So, if you're on Facebook - look me up and request me as a friend. I wish I could post all the pics on here (all of them are posted on Facebook), but here are a few from the evening for the blog!</span><br /><br /></div><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTFU4Ym9yCkVqKdGWcCSEpMCMppmx8YDObITS2iLXRDbMLxqmujmGyK7j5DWhgZqQawUw_TZPYEibpiZEFcXi6E3f-TcxbFjRd1hpML3QUqWpV2V7L_70QovFcg0Tllw-vuBCi2A/s1600-h/016.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376149951436459106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTFU4Ym9yCkVqKdGWcCSEpMCMppmx8YDObITS2iLXRDbMLxqmujmGyK7j5DWhgZqQawUw_TZPYEibpiZEFcXi6E3f-TcxbFjRd1hpML3QUqWpV2V7L_70QovFcg0Tllw-vuBCi2A/s400/016.JPG" border="0" /></a><span style="color:#cc0000;">Some of us pre-partying before the doors opened.</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYJ35YqW1QSEb8bwWg3SA5SIaAhOs1E1ZW8mikMzS33cewwC2DrkngibEzaBpdpKLuqXKMZiqDQl5NL3seFYKVumspyr263APy7Pf7dAe2VBy7N3lBiL6-oalKtvD0XjVICw1hjw/s1600-h/022.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376149944453026690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYJ35YqW1QSEb8bwWg3SA5SIaAhOs1E1ZW8mikMzS33cewwC2DrkngibEzaBpdpKLuqXKMZiqDQl5NL3seFYKVumspyr263APy7Pf7dAe2VBy7N3lBiL6-oalKtvD0XjVICw1hjw/s400/022.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span style="color:#cc0000;">Maybe I'm biased (or just refuse to believe we've really aged), but all the girls I knew in high school have become beautiful women!</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBNqCFYUzyXS4klLhwG7wg69ATgWvSjstNLPtjRLT-bNf_PF4jN3z9ta4WPkcyMTpNJDnHw6kkln45-1IX7GoF5iK5-WztwNu19IXwEaTuYx4Fr_JxHsPY1UXsjsWKnx37pzKvCA/s1600-h/032.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376149934667207298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBNqCFYUzyXS4klLhwG7wg69ATgWvSjstNLPtjRLT-bNf_PF4jN3z9ta4WPkcyMTpNJDnHw6kkln45-1IX7GoF5iK5-WztwNu19IXwEaTuYx4Fr_JxHsPY1UXsjsWKnx37pzKvCA/s400/032.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span style="color:#cc0000;">My good childhood friend Shelly.</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXr0960tVHc75ouN2bKQ_eRKHXzF976lbaSK05l9bqzTwq41nBPdVmjyGn6sJNNvj45Q1ielF6QDU_v5KNF-oGnnI2uogl98QS-wxQIPpq3xJYj91zL0wcCasaFerJeLW3gE7Txw/s1600-h/035.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376149924992705522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXr0960tVHc75ouN2bKQ_eRKHXzF976lbaSK05l9bqzTwq41nBPdVmjyGn6sJNNvj45Q1ielF6QDU_v5KNF-oGnnI2uogl98QS-wxQIPpq3xJYj91zL0wcCasaFerJeLW3gE7Txw/s400/035.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span style="color:#cc0000;">My best friends from school & St. Gabe's: Lori, Denise & I</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfVl3z8EPLRX4HPu56nyDRPpyJ0sPcRPeszHj7PU8BLbfD8NQY9xs0uDncDVVUxL1ULsiysjY2qr275RG_VIk2XIHr4MzguarUVY9jcH3-0DNK94fFTb-doqBfMg7SkpKGO3pOQw/s1600-h/036.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376149917829998258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfVl3z8EPLRX4HPu56nyDRPpyJ0sPcRPeszHj7PU8BLbfD8NQY9xs0uDncDVVUxL1ULsiysjY2qr275RG_VIk2XIHr4MzguarUVY9jcH3-0DNK94fFTb-doqBfMg7SkpKGO3pOQw/s400/036.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span style="color:#cc0000;">More great friends of mine - partying on the dance floor!</span><br /></p></div>The Liller Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17480621457371919462noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34213198.post-64746867322039912462009-08-24T23:05:00.001-04:002009-08-25T08:30:40.937-04:00Ben & Ari's and Daddy's Birthday<div align="justify"><span style="color:#006600;">Shawn turned 41 today, and the poor boy had to go to Vegas today for a week for work (yeah I know, let's all give a big "awwwwwwwwwwwww" as we REALLY feel sorry for him - NOT!)<br /><br />So we decided to do something fun with the family on Sunday for his birthday instead. I would've thought he would pick the new Dave & Busters that just opened near us (he's been a HUGE D&B fan since I've known him - there's been one in Cincy forever and he and his buddy Jon used to go there almost every day for their lunch breaks years and years ago). Anyway, the young ones wanted to go to Ben & Ari's (a smaller version of D&B's for kids) so Shawn didn't even hesitate. So off to video game madness and putt putt golf we went!<br /></span><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN3s7-76XXECeCE-IsqytOW2-qwcdiXY1k9Iy_1GetfYk9cgCGsaiNGnFoXaHSihb2G9daHqORp4QAzEp2TL7ACbvwmr9jFAG_X-TEJNKAAhbLUbc8KTpVq9PQO0rmBKDK0ktOfQ/s1600-h/026.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373872163781679906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN3s7-76XXECeCE-IsqytOW2-qwcdiXY1k9Iy_1GetfYk9cgCGsaiNGnFoXaHSihb2G9daHqORp4QAzEp2TL7ACbvwmr9jFAG_X-TEJNKAAhbLUbc8KTpVq9PQO0rmBKDK0ktOfQ/s400/026.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><span style="color:#006600;">Jammin' on the guitar one of the kids got with their game tickets.

I'm so happy to be almost done. We still have some trim painting to do (the doors mainly, I already painted the entryway wainscotting, staircase & spindles, and baseboards), and we'll have some accessorizing to do as a lot of our old picture frames and such don't go with the new colors we've painted. We also sold our living room furniture that you see in the pictures - so we'll be looking for furniture sometime in the future that will fit better and be more usable, but overall - I'm really happy to be practically finished!<br /><br />I hope you enjoy the pictures - I'm not trying to be boastful at all, but I'm really proud at how it's all turning out . . . and have I mentioned that I LOVE THE SMELL OF NEW CARPET!!! Ahhhhhh, miss my doggie - God rest his soul, but I don't miss the smell. If you want to come visit in person - feel free, but leave your shoes at the entrance! haha!!!<br /><br />Also, if you live in the Indy area and need carpet, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CUSTOM FLOORS OF CARMEL. Phenomenal pricing, first class installation and installers - NOT ONE NICK OR SCRATCH on any of my new painted walls!

We weren't able to financially support our big annual 4th of July party (because my husband is a closet pyro and loves to blow stuff up). But we still had a great weekend and good times anyway - despite the horrible rain on the actual 4th! Luckily the rain held off literally until the celebration in our community park was over!<br /></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">Friday night we hung out with our good friends (the Combs') for a cookout then headed to another friends house for her 40th birthday party, then came back for more happy hour fun at our neighbor's house. On the 4th, we got up early to start the day off with the annual Party in the Park. Our neighborhood homeowners association puts on a 4th of July party for all the residents. We had a parade, a llama course (Yes, I said LLAMA), food, games, prizes and good music/entertainment by Grasshopper Entertainment (that's a plug for you babe)! It was actually sweet of him to do it as he had to DJ a wedding downtown later in the afternoon. While he was gone at the wedding, I decided to paint some more (I'll post pictures of that later this week when it's all done) since it was raining non-stop! We went down to our neighbor's on the cul-de-sac later that evening as the men were insistent on putting up some "firepower" despite the rainy conditions! Sunday was a veg day, and another neighbor of ours wanted Shawn to set off his fireworks for him, so they came over and we had a very miniature show-version of our usual event which you can see by clicking <strong></strong></span><a href="http://lillerfamily.blogspot.com/2008/07/5th-annual-liller-fireworks.html" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;">here</span></a></div><span style="color:#330099;"><span style="color:#000066;"><div align="justify"><br />All in all, a very good weekend!!!<br /></span><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhViaxctcJX_HNlfpQ8iAXu2dae0ixxZPDIfMcbWdncGFY1kSJ_QE1iHbFAAHeEbCUqP7J_5cGo1etYjZM1u_veJkrbf_2EY83osUK74t0BMAsoYbxEebT87dDXglmp3BwyGRAnQ/s1600-h/003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355708758838576482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhViaxctcJX_HNlfpQ8iAXu2dae0ixxZPDIfMcbWdncGFY1kSJ_QE1iHbFAAHeEbCUqP7J_5cGo1etYjZM1u_veJkrbf_2EY83osUK74t0BMAsoYbxEebT87dDXglmp3BwyGRAnQ/s400/003.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><span style="color:#ff0000;">Blake wasn't too sure about checking out the llama...<br /></span></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAl3sd9buIQTdPcZmt1AIALZkCFjcUQ-szAF1OuxbTmJwOAqYuWdw26wo3JvZbu8bUSESIYsGrft4YpAoxOaBXx6DjKRb9a1PMXfh7bTE15bmDdw6QRdf3JcgLlOUionAT1cKTrg/s1600-h/009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355708754622700498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAl3sd9buIQTdPcZmt1AIALZkCFjcUQ-szAF1OuxbTmJwOAqYuWdw26wo3JvZbu8bUSESIYsGrft4YpAoxOaBXx6DjKRb9a1PMXfh7bTE15bmDdw6QRdf3JcgLlOUionAT1cKTrg/s400/009.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><span style="color:#000066;">Shawn with his hatchback outdoor mini-equipment Grasshopper Entertainment set-up!

We had just gotten home from the Fishers Freedom Festival and were hanging out on the back deck when Shawn got a wild hair and decided to put his kayak in our pond. Now granted, he's done this before - but technically you're not "allowed" to do stuff like this. Sometimes, you just have to defy the rules I guess... ;o)<br /></span><br /></span></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBS17hK5Ke7YLpbGS8wgATr_qHY-sBUXNdBIRkP6Fz61faGtXVNIisBjXbK1kWDmrsm-esP17MwkYM5PLpbrX_2vSNYkUCioKgH4X9Vo1Xxtk0cbahsCdiekt_msKgJPNlaBstxA/s1600-h/015.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352729304112750642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBS17hK5Ke7YLpbGS8wgATr_qHY-sBUXNdBIRkP6Fz61faGtXVNIisBjXbK1kWDmrsm-esP17MwkYM5PLpbrX_2vSNYkUCioKgH4X9Vo1Xxtk0cbahsCdiekt_msKgJPNlaBstxA/s400/015.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span style="color:#003300;">"Ummmm, is it okay to paddle here?" </span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEb5dXVxAe09pu2w9NiD4mWpdIti97uNqT9GdeYf3wx9CcKkoQTthLXoJCpqX9M10BmRs-vmLj8YI1yZMlx2MgW3lF702lzVoN5WfJrUCZd9cc3xPvyzjHa3EDE1iNFC0szPSPOw/s1600-h/010.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352729463394558242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 338px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEb5dXVxAe09pu2w9NiD4mWpdIti97uNqT9GdeYf3wx9CcKkoQTthLXoJCpqX9M10BmRs-vmLj8YI1yZMlx2MgW3lF702lzVoN5WfJrUCZd9cc3xPvyzjHa3EDE1iNFC0szPSPOw/s400/010.JPG" border="0" /></a><span style="color:#003300;"> Paddling up to our neighbors house - also the former president of our homeowners association!!!</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKeMM0rbzTiWlkg3wYySbUyNmrJDRgBKGz8xY7d7l65JpgQqX7U36iWTvEgrgS0_VZj5Vg2r2LQuchZk495M2yePW6Nvmbf4wEneyW8dsCOUOMEzZM1XDEd_MnYpdYsrSxZwNCnA/s1600-h/018.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352729299922599842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKeMM0rbzTiWlkg3wYySbUyNmrJDRgBKGz8xY7d7l65JpgQqX7U36iWTvEgrgS0_VZj5Vg2r2LQuchZk495M2yePW6Nvmbf4wEneyW8dsCOUOMEzZM1XDEd_MnYpdYsrSxZwNCnA/s400/018.JPG" border="0" /></a><span style="color:#003300;"> Blake was dying to go, so we dug out his lifevest and hoisted him in!</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrlXiVQOLvhpglfyKLpcuiKGpLefddlnPDVQKmLqAgDIWe7iqv5iVj32EFmo8c1JYP9zUErn9_HD2oHMsp2Tat34_S05AfeZNwB_PWN8R2JRiMyOiYLlZqJ4KvRVN7WwOXt7Tx1Q/s1600-h/025.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352729298843212002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrlXiVQOLvhpglfyKLpcuiKGpLefddlnPDVQKmLqAgDIWe7iqv5iVj32EFmo8c1JYP9zUErn9_HD2oHMsp2Tat34_S05AfeZNwB_PWN8R2JRiMyOiYLlZqJ4KvRVN7WwOXt7Tx1Q/s400/025.JPG" border="0" /></a><span style="color:#003300;"> As you can see, he absolutely loved it!</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr2Ep_M7NjFvkL4q53UldH7DuWM4LmOz3EmjsJ32UXoD33n-sFGyKzwWHgOndq3oMqglYz19Uj32YO_xeIt7G8WNo14_z6xNRCSrhsewgaLrKBl91xQJ4bjwYbQyE7DIKaBUUcKg/s1600-h/028.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352729296657559858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr2Ep_M7NjFvkL4q53UldH7DuWM4LmOz3EmjsJ32UXoD33n-sFGyKzwWHgOndq3oMqglYz19Uj32YO_xeIt7G8WNo14_z6xNRCSrhsewgaLrKBl91xQJ4bjwYbQyE7DIKaBUUcKg/s400/028.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span style="color:#003300;">Grant was next to follow suit - at first he was like "okay, but dad - don't go past Mrs. Pam's house" (our next door neighbor), but once he got going, they ended going all the way around the pond, and he didn't want to stop.</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_d7CEASdOZ2SaquZQKQT1BmS7cRSrvFvGra1ogTevWqTmZxbQSmRjugtqWQzHtfl5cPVFgyCcXn0xeoU1nixzyKZCRud_F-x-kvBPlLt2vguSK8-Ztd1iTfuvNrom9D6NV4EJAA/s1600-h/030.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352729291239779378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_d7CEASdOZ2SaquZQKQT1BmS7cRSrvFvGra1ogTevWqTmZxbQSmRjugtqWQzHtfl5cPVFgyCcXn0xeoU1nixzyKZCRud_F-x-kvBPlLt2vguSK8-Ztd1iTfuvNrom9D6NV4EJAA/s400/030.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span style="color:#003300;">Here's to the FKA - Future Kayakers of America!</span><br /></div>The Liller Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17480621457371919462noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34213198.post-42035524417088093682009-06-13T16:09:00.007-04:002009-06-14T10:29:29.802-04:00Tour de Cure for Diabetes<div align="justify"><span style="color:#000066;">Today we went down to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to watch Shawn ride in the Tour de Cure. Shawn rode the longest amount of miles possible for this ride - 100 MILES, which all took place going round and round the famous racetrack.<br /><br />Several months ago, Shawn decided to go after this disease I live with by helping raise money in hopes that someday, we find a cure for Diabetes. I've had Type 1 Diabetes (insulin-dependent, I wear an insulin pump 24/7) for over 16 years. Soooo, in my honor, he did one bang up job at reaching out to friends and family and helping the American Diabetes Association raise funds to find a cure. It's something I really hope I see in my lifetime - a cure would be a dream come true!!!<br /><br />Thanks to all of you who supported both Shawn and myself - I'll have to check the totals, but between personal sponsors and the Chick-fil-A Spirit Night we had at the restaurant in Noblesville, I think the total was around $1,500! AWESOME!!!<br /><br />Below are some pics from today's Tour de Cure.<br /></span><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGDE6RbaC2HEUvxVU_1TBeKIxUk96Pyk-rUyeGaV_v7qfqNWl8hMTdVHtpK71rD1KNDhTalJl6Bt00Ftowg2On_0HOefPei_OCld6T3gbcoKIPUXSFrlgwhn9OBYl-1jinFrle4A/s1600-h/064.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346908061765914770" style="DISPLAY: block;

The first 2 are from Blake's preschool promotion program - one more year of preschool and then he'll be a kindergartner! The last few are funny b/c the red couches we have in our family room have become the "sleep" couches.

It was an easy yet extremely hard decision. He has been suffering for quite some time now, but I still hate that "we" had to decide when his time was up - it's not fair. He was our first "baby", and watching him die was difficult. I don't regret that we stayed with him as he went, and although it was quick and painless for him, it was still one of the hardest things we've ever had to do.<br /><br />I, in particular, had not become fond of cleaning up his messes the past year or two. I think part of me felt it would be easier to just be done with it all - but I miss him, and feel bad to have been the one pushing this decision. I guess I'll live with the guilt for awhile, but I truly believe we made the best decision for HIM. He won't be in pain from his arthritus, he won't have to throw up or constantly urinate in our house, maybe he can hear now that his soul is in Heaven, and jump around with little effort. He was the best dog anyone could ever ask for, and he can never be replaced.<br /><br />Tanner, thanks for giving us the best years of your life. We'll treasure the memories you gave us and you'll forever be in our hearts!</span><br /><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUikgEZ7uB36YzpOs_104OluquVCt_Mhyphenhyphenrpmz8ky2b2UWmpMQS9ADB97ei-FJsq-ZnmLTpW1Gnt0H1kvbPApGJoDwHpmezQIMMmapK9dEuUYIp75eF_NqdmX2MEWJbdPVUv647Ew/s1600-h/012.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334744712989738866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUikgEZ7uB36YzpOs_104OluquVCt_Mhyphenhyphenrpmz8ky2b2UWmpMQS9ADB97ei-FJsq-ZnmLTpW1Gnt0H1kvbPApGJoDwHpmezQIMMmapK9dEuUYIp75eF_NqdmX2MEWJbdPVUv647Ew/s400/012.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP5-EfDntOFPPChnkG26rd8s7SEdDfn2T-6SE3LEAWL9t7wJW84-A9tdh1-PkeEZ5ZSXvmHw-IAX4Wy6fiwu00BGgFUMaspUT4EOGJV4tDDVy85tZ-jJPTcivOaDBAVMCCcOTf5g/s1600-h/014.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334744718460352754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP5-EfDntOFPPChnkG26rd8s7SEdDfn2T-6SE3LEAWL9t7wJW84-A9tdh1-PkeEZ5ZSXvmHw-IAX4Wy6fiwu00BGgFUMaspUT4EOGJV4tDDVy85tZ-jJPTcivOaDBAVMCCcOTf5g/s400/014.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTn_EQaTaH4vrQcaq2ksQX_9qa_e1eGHM5ZMQBYPO1lygo4yZsHRe2BZBqyUFBHn_Lk2tLgz84gPvS7BaxqP40C2Fpr9Y2t81tvYC56VW4eqCtsJH8jcBQadVgLg3u4jc8MD3bUQ/s1600-h/006.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334744717939958498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTn_EQaTaH4vrQcaq2ksQX_9qa_e1eGHM5ZMQBYPO1lygo4yZsHRe2BZBqyUFBHn_Lk2tLgz84gPvS7BaxqP40C2Fpr9Y2t81tvYC56VW4eqCtsJH8jcBQadVgLg3u4jc8MD3bUQ/s400/006.JPG" border="0" /></a>The Liller Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17480621457371919462noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34213198.post-64529597100099839902009-05-07T17:15:00.003-04:002009-05-07T17:37:25.983-04:00Anniversary and Muffins with Mom<div align="justify"><span style="color:#000066;">Today I went to Blake's preschool for their annual "Muffins With Mom".

We went to this place downtown called Fogo De Chao. Not very impressed with the restaurant, and it kinda stunk that Shawn was sick, but we still had a nice time. It's always good to reflect upon your marriage - and a night out without kids is always a bonus no matter what the occasion! ;o)<br /></span><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4ROAHjuKriBi4CDwzwWNof304iwS61eKyZaCYS56oO9WW9lB27bpGRYHPZuXQ50a4oFQsGvGd-Kxd8fAft_LkYMF4YKUgEjz0aO3u7JP_nAKtj6eTN7xQGKC0KVOTVC1LRZjVUQ/s1600-h/009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333194460560290242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 386px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4ROAHjuKriBi4CDwzwWNof304iwS61eKyZaCYS56oO9WW9lB27bpGRYHPZuXQ50a4oFQsGvGd-Kxd8fAft_LkYMF4YKUgEjz0aO3u7JP_nAKtj6eTN7xQGKC0KVOTVC1LRZjVUQ/s400/009.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><span style="color:#000066;">My baby and me.<br /></span></p><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgFbZZfy-6v4t29muNoq7g4Qs5A_z2s1fU_4VlS0v-gKu_oBTQ3ND5vg0kJ2Eo3CIs1V7j2NRd86ugc4WiAJEOjw5H0e6lpns08UPDi9hZiWSEKett8S8mb5CTOstB6Qi8l6IP9Q/s1600-h/008.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333194455932309778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgFbZZfy-6v4t29muNoq7g4Qs5A_z2s1fU_4VlS0v-gKu_oBTQ3ND5vg0kJ2Eo3CIs1V7j2NRd86ugc4WiAJEOjw5H0e6lpns08UPDi9hZiWSEKett8S8mb5CTOstB6Qi8l6IP9Q/s400/008.JPG" border="0" /></a><span style="color:#000066;"> Luckily they had donuts too (smart teachers they are!)

Shawn had heard of this indoor amusement type place in Lafayette Square's mall - so we decided to head over and see what it was like.<br /><br />Now let me tell you - if you want a fairly inexpensive place (and I mean cheaper than a day at Kings Island or Carribbean Cove or Dave & Buster's) to have a ton of fun for hours and hours - this is the place. It's called XScape and for $4.99/child and only $8.49/adult - it was worth it.<br /><br />Now granted, you can spend a lot more b/c the attractions (mini-bowling, putt putt golf, rides, 4-D theatre, go-karts, bumper cars, etc... are all extra (yet still not bad - go-karts were $5 and bumper cars, mini bowling and putt putt $3), as are the arcade games. But included in the price is an all-you-can-eat buffet, drink and dessert station - and it was good - pizza, pastas, salad bar, cookies, cakes and ice cream sundae station, soda, etc... They also have 3 places to eat. You can choose from a Sports Bar, Cartoonland and Movie Theatre (yes, both playing either cartoons or movies with HUGE screens like in the cinemas - we watched part of Journey to the Center of the Earth). You can also play in one of those jumpy things and a climbing thing which is included. We got a card and loaded it up with some cash and it lasted us hours. Oh - and check their specials - if you go on Sunday when they open at 11am, they have 1/2 price attractions until 2pm - so we really made out by riding the rides and stuff before going on to the arcade.<br /><br />So, as you can see below - it made for a great, rainy Sunday afternoon!</span><br /><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD1FfCNgKyHpjhuUhYviBSVfFlXxsbGMksPC_GvNiKsOA-XCIzxqooF1UYsBYNO6l8-AHtx6snDzIPYEzg59uKAdo9dtwbipkaGjm7Rv1ECvbzeNf-abT7eAiP5fqghB8_qz4bWA/s1600-h/013.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310942581286757026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD1FfCNgKyHpjhuUhYviBSVfFlXxsbGMksPC_GvNiKsOA-XCIzxqooF1UYsBYNO6l8-AHtx6snDzIPYEzg59uKAdo9dtwbipkaGjm7Rv1ECvbzeNf-abT7eAiP5fqghB8_qz4bWA/s320/013.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><span style="color:#330033;">This kinda reminded me a little bit of duckpin bowling - the boys (and even myself) had a good time playing this.

It's called the Strong Kids Campaign - because the YMCA will NEVER turn away someone because of their inability to pay.<br /><br />Part of this campaign is the Cycle-A-Thon. Shawn has been a Spinning instructor practically since the day I met him. He's been working as an instructor at the Y for about 7 or 8 years now, and since it's tough economically for everyone this year - he wanted to step up the sponsorship goals of those who take his classes. He said that IF the people who took his classes raised $2000 by the time his session took place on Friday the 13th at 5:30 pm, he would shave his head immediately following the class. Well, we did it (thanks Bruce and John - they definitely upped the stakes and pushed us all to make it happen)! The Strong Kids have everyone who contributed to thank!!! And honey - you look really cute bald!!!<br /></span><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi30YQT6Kk3W329-Zmw_z59MvfQX-jovmD_7rGdP-qm4fCV5_3ldUpblNWlekfzhZqBF7RLbZ5G__SoilNz6qHSyVrGIIkPx0kfD_4z10zun-De7V9hH_Gs02-vviCxcp6pSGPkQw/s1600-h/004.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302649996684337586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi30YQT6Kk3W329-Zmw_z59MvfQX-jovmD_7rGdP-qm4fCV5_3ldUpblNWlekfzhZqBF7RLbZ5G__SoilNz6qHSyVrGIIkPx0kfD_4z10zun-De7V9hH_Gs02-vviCxcp6pSGPkQw/s400/004.JPG" border="0" /><br /><p align="center"></a><span style="color:#003300;">Bruce, Shawn and John - the "before" look!</span><br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjspzB9nP-knsGFUx05iw1Pfs_HAN7To5LJUfJHvnc_Hkqj9mu0tJZ1ixsCJpcpEwwvOnqrsXWPUPTl7knBqWOUS5Nem-tT2jB0uOqftehTAvMxzn16W1I2ZirP5DgOFgIssX23hg/s1600-h/005.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302649993100911362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjspzB9nP-knsGFUx05iw1Pfs_HAN7To5LJUfJHvnc_Hkqj9mu0tJZ1ixsCJpcpEwwvOnqrsXWPUPTl7knBqWOUS5Nem-tT2jB0uOqftehTAvMxzn16W1I2ZirP5DgOFgIssX23hg/s400/005.JPG" border="0" /><br /><p align="center"></a><span style="color:#003300;">Denise thanking everyone before Shawn's session started.</span><br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwNAblubBgdrTU-8tJzOtFKN9iD1aNB2f2sUni-dISW_Xv8S4Fpm-mYM6FUlj9FTAr7qFBD1MACGknRIMSs_mF3TLjv96TjWuK5dtGQNijaC-CftQ7ow_yTjFzKlVsDcCOScIjrQ/s1600-h/010.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302649988614190258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwNAblubBgdrTU-8tJzOtFKN9iD1aNB2f2sUni-dISW_Xv8S4Fpm-mYM6FUlj9FTAr7qFBD1MACGknRIMSs_mF3TLjv96TjWuK5dtGQNijaC-CftQ7ow_yTjFzKlVsDcCOScIjrQ/s400/010.JPG" border="0" /><br /><p align="center"></a><span style="color:#003300;">Yep, we love you and taking your class Shawn - and we can't wait to see you get your head shaved!!!</span><br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnVzxI91vg8e1YcAvQcssikH2-qfkb8TV56Af2_oDlu7GmWq6ZJyZ3AHHK1OTlqU7wY4dLmjSiSOq9qVfNoKtW38DX2pLojFcNoyzpco2kdvkda9kfF9j5IMatNIcwApiK0ozs6Q/s1600-h/012.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302649977946266722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnVzxI91vg8e1YcAvQcssikH2-qfkb8TV56Af2_oDlu7GmWq6ZJyZ3AHHK1OTlqU7wY4dLmjSiSOq9qVfNoKtW38DX2pLojFcNoyzpco2kdvkda9kfF9j5IMatNIcwApiK0ozs6Q/s400/012.JPG" border="0" /><br /><p align="center"></a><span style="color:#003300;">The crowd begins to gather - and our kids get a front row seat to see daddy lose his hair!</span><br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFbktjNqBx7Er0kKQmhw8_ex6S5ylizlyAMqbL28vi9_n1CVoLOg3J-ygrmNtBgW6Iq3pnKxWo-oJhrEwDN-2XmpkxWIQYAsfFZ906Axlyi3DbSTQlQJzJFwy7FuXqLOappKImSw/s1600-h/015.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302649979183065042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFbktjNqBx7Er0kKQmhw8_ex6S5ylizlyAMqbL28vi9_n1CVoLOg3J-ygrmNtBgW6Iq3pnKxWo-oJhrEwDN-2XmpkxWIQYAsfFZ906Axlyi3DbSTQlQJzJFwy7FuXqLOappKImSw/s400/015.JPG" border="0" /><br /><p align="center"></a><span style="color:#003300;">Our friend Travis gets to do the honors - he's a baldy by choice too, so he had all the proper tools!

My very first baby is 11!!!<br /><br />It's been a busy day so far - we've been to laser tag, had a pizza party when we came back, a little tag and guns, then Evan's requested chocolate chip cookie cake! I think I'm holding up pretty well for 4 hours of chaos (and some of them are still going strong as I type). But overall, it's been a pretty good day for Evan.<br /><br />As for me, I'm taking it all in pretty slow. I wasn't even in labor with him yet this time 11 years ago (well, I kinda was, I just didn't know it at the time). So, until 10:46pm, he's still 10 to me (and even that is too old for my liking)!!!</span><br /><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg229itW9h5FlRFTTkh2FxKHpTllVZLTb05WFzmdBs5M2JWrHLC6MLSb1AVnOGXPbQY8ocErSsjeqEV3DkGu62r5Cf5i6d7iFoY0PwEEvsMQjlLeiIliNt2rvEPL0J7MM7Z4OmjEA/s1600-h/Baby_Evan.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294964314048438802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 344px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg229itW9h5FlRFTTkh2FxKHpTllVZLTb05WFzmdBs5M2JWrHLC6MLSb1AVnOGXPbQY8ocErSsjeqEV3DkGu62r5Cf5i6d7iFoY0PwEEvsMQjlLeiIliNt2rvEPL0J7MM7Z4OmjEA/s400/Baby_Evan.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><span style="color:#000066;">So how did he go from this cute little baby . . .<br /></span></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiI88AneuXc1fawq7_yZ-MalK2o-EYPyJxDkPs_BVNJ6i9Jx5c6G8O-YEiRgYQFbNUm8vGa8MAo0c8JutX8AIJHci7O3CUo4SUAZ1TUFV5TGMAzSgmn-DhjDBmO9WNfsR_SkTh9A/s1600-h/035.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294964543358710738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 295px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiI88AneuXc1fawq7_yZ-MalK2o-EYPyJxDkPs_BVNJ6i9Jx5c6G8O-YEiRgYQFbNUm8vGa8MAo0c8JutX8AIJHci7O3CUo4SUAZ1TUFV5TGMAzSgmn-DhjDBmO9WNfsR_SkTh9A/s400/035.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><span style="color:#000066;">To this giant human being???</span><br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZNikXR9NB1Sys0SetQy77XRdhibIg9vlqzRvmsrkN4G6PEtg8d_lUYEdYMO4fxyikWH2wVtpcUt-zuLA01Pufr_IR1ad4UsQ0WprCu4hFo7-EUP7E5ihm3TIr2Ximz68LBdar4A/s1600-h/023.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294964319047685506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZNikXR9NB1Sys0SetQy77XRdhibIg9vlqzRvmsrkN4G6PEtg8d_lUYEdYMO4fxyikWH2wVtpcUt-zuLA01Pufr_IR1ad4UsQ0WprCu4hFo7-EUP7E5ihm3TIr2Ximz68LBdar4A/s400/023.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><span style="color:#000066;">Evan and his friends in the briefing room at Xsite Laser Tag.</span></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivBphtP7jSbhDPcQz6AqoAeKydO8aSLg-fxF3_RJQAezOmK6WuYhb628T4_gyFqL_4JIm5n48kS4tUkK8k3-IAACX9YfnT2eaLFk0qepNiAUG3IdJGuOMMuS21FsCL7FpQ_p7jcQ/s1600-h/031.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294964341829799554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivBphtP7jSbhDPcQz6AqoAeKydO8aSLg-fxF3_RJQAezOmK6WuYhb628T4_gyFqL_4JIm5n48kS4tUkK8k3-IAACX9YfnT2eaLFk0qepNiAUG3IdJGuOMMuS21FsCL7FpQ_p7jcQ/s400/031.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><span style="color:#000066;">Evan's friends raise a toast to him - it was pretty cute actually.

Seriously, it looks like I'm in that old Alfred Hitchcock movie "The Birds" - a little freaky!<br /><br />So, here are the places we'll be going in the next 6 months - and it seriously can't come soon enough! I was hoping to copy and paste pictures, but the websites won't let you do that, so you'll have to <span style="color:#ff0000;">click on the red links</span> below!<br /><br />For Spring Break, we'll be heading down to Gatlinburg once again with our best friends, the Cassidy's. Last year we had an amazing time, so this year we're going for a longer period of time (a whole week instead of just 4 days) and we got a bigger cabin. We almost got one with an indoor pool - which would've totally rocked - but we decided to wait until the kids are just a little older. I'm sure they'll have plenty to do with the pool table, air hockey, games, Wii, firepit, etc... and we plan to do a lot more hiking this year. Linda and I are most looking forward to the outlet shopping again - we got some awesome stuff last year!

My parents rent a beachhouse (and I mean - RIGHT on the beach) for the whole family. We're staying at </span></span></span><a href="http://www.vacationcompany.com/homes_villas_details.asp?PropertyID=242&section=hilton_head&prop_type=home" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">this</span></strong></a><span style="color:#000066;"> house again! It's perfect for all 11 of us and is so close to the beach. The picture below (and the title picture at the top of my blog) was one we took on the deck of this house the last time we went - so you can see how close we are. It's so nice to lay in the pool (I'm not much of a "lie on the beach in a bunch of sand" type person) and listen to the waves! Again, I gotta put a plug in for our friends at The Vacation Company in HHI- they are always such a help - anything you need, theyll come running!</span><span style="color:#003300;"><br /></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3GZwTEZguC9gbpucJC54eXPR10ajCj6vEF86NBy6vMIKqEi18ohFplE9Qs8_qBzXM7UqwgaMNMwqL5FmBwpdSolBrI2cudx2AmSlQo_acOiHr8ZUI2jAUWmjbWt4O1V6FZ4kV4g/s1600-h/IMG_3561%5B1%5D.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293757088232253698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3GZwTEZguC9gbpucJC54eXPR10ajCj6vEF86NBy6vMIKqEi18ohFplE9Qs8_qBzXM7UqwgaMNMwqL5FmBwpdSolBrI2cudx2AmSlQo_acOiHr8ZUI2jAUWmjbWt4O1V6FZ4kV4g/s400/IMG_3561%5B1%5D.JPG" border="0" /></a> </p><p><span style="color:#000066;">So here's to warmer weather and vacationing away from the "blahs" of normal, everyday life! <strong>I'M READY!!!</strong><br /></span><br /></span></p>The Liller Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17480621457371919462noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34213198.post-28136856194069742962009-01-17T20:07:00.004-05:002009-01-17T20:27:02.697-05:00The Road of Frustration<div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTCFFR7Bq8gG1vRE4rBMKMlur5RaMSUryShP2szPsCRWvEcHwjsR9j-VrvzKyXH8H7g4oIJdij7rv_sEv0UPfeIzC-SwDOIgAbNd3FDAE2r0N30lvmBlJ8zlsw146Q_kr7wa6NEA/s1600-h/001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292435195496147874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTCFFR7Bq8gG1vRE4rBMKMlur5RaMSUryShP2szPsCRWvEcHwjsR9j-VrvzKyXH8H7g4oIJdij7rv_sEv0UPfeIzC-SwDOIgAbNd3FDAE2r0N30lvmBlJ8zlsw146Q_kr7wa6NEA/s400/001.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color:#663366;">This picture of Blake showing me his "muscles" is perfect for this post! It clearly describes how I've been feeling this past week . . . FRUSTRATED!<br /><br />Don't get me wrong - I'm blessed by a lot of things, but when things aren't going the way you want them to, it's - well, frustrating!<br /><br />I had been doing really well with my new diet and workout routines: running, spinning, elyptical, weight training. It was halted quite suddenly this past Sunday afternoon after injuring my ankle after a long run (well, long for me anyway, 4 miles). As the days passed, I still couldn't walk very well. The pain got so bad on Thurday that I finally bit the proverbial bullet and went to a foot/ankle doc at Ortho Indy (very cool doc by the way - how could he not be, he's a Buckeye fan!!!).<br /><br />They found nothing seriously wrong in the xrays - so they put me in an air cast for "the next 1-2 weeks" and sent me for an MRI this morning. I hope to have results early this week, but I have to admit this has bummed me out huge! I mean who wants to have "possible" chipped cartilege and "possible" surgery if that's what it is? Not me, I've had enough "bone" surgeries to last me a lifetime (if you haven't heard about my arm story after trying to catch Blake when he was 1 from falling down our stairs, you probably DON'T want to hear about it . . . long nasty story).<br /><br />So anyway. Guess I'm just trying to decide what I'm supposed to be learning from this experience. There are so many other bigger things to worry about - or maybe that's the problem, maybe I shouldn't be "worrying" about them at all and just trying to listen to what God is trying to tell me through this. I've been so busy lately, that maybe I'm being slowed down for a reason.<br /><br />I'm still bummed - I'd like to look good for my trips to Gatlinburg and Hilton Head, and for my 20th High School Reunion coming up this fall, and I've actually re-grown to love working out - but I'm trying to be open to the other "reasons" this has happened, and hopefully I'll learn something from it. Just another valley to go through - maybe by next week, I'll be climbing that road to the mountain top - with a new and fresh perspective!!!<br /><br />Have a great week & thanks for listening to me get this off my ankle - I mean chest! Hahaha!!!</span></div>The Liller Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17480621457371919462noreply@blogger.com2
