HUGE Update

Once again I have found some inspiration to get this thing going again. There are a total of 9 new updates for you to browse through. A special surprise is waiting for you at the last one! Enjoy!

Anytime Fitness Conference

Naomi and I spent the weekend in Chicago the second weekend in September for the Annual Anytime Fitness Conference. We got a lot of new ideas to become better managers and increase our club culture. It was also spent with very good company. We were able to walk around the city and take in the sights!

Labor Day

We spent the last weekend of Summer up north drinking in the sights and spending time on the water. Scott accomplished one thing he has been working on since he learned how to ski, slalom skiing!

Scott finally got up on one ski!!!! I am so proud of him!

My talented husband took this picture. Definitely frame worthy!

August Trip Up North

Beginning of August Scott and I took Dad and Mom up north to enjoy the peacefulness and relax. We went out to dinner Friday night, worst experience EVER,  had a good time doing absolutely nothing all day Saturday, we did leave the cabin and get ice cream, Sunday we spent on the water, and went home Monday afternoon. It was nice and relaxing, what the doctor ordered after a busy summer.

Mom and Scott tubing. Dad went out later but I didn't get any pictures.

Dad did try to get up on ski's again, just like the old days

The next weekend we celebrated his birthday at our house.
 It almost burnt down from all the candles.

Roommates

Our annual get together was at Malorie's house this year. It was a great time to catch up and spend the afternoon together!

Malorie, Katlin, Stacy, Me, Nickie

Family Zoo Time

The day after the wedding we headed out to the zoo as a family. It was a lot of fun and craziness, resulting in a very tired Beth and Scott.

The cheetah was very active

Emily and Tony's Wedding

With a beautiful bride and a handsome groom and God blessing them both, it was a beautiful day, although VERY HOT. It went off without any trouble, we all showed up on time, sweated through our shirts and dresses but at the end of the day they were joined together in marriage. May God bless your time together Tony and Emily!

The most handsome man in the world, and one of the cutest children on earth!

Such a special moment

The family dress code was black and white. I think we pulled it off quite well!

Time With the Tico and Tica's

I took the week of the Fourth of July off to spend some time with my older sister and her family. They flew in from Costa Rica for my little sister's wedding on July 6th. We went to the "beach" in West Bend to catch some rays and get some swimming in because of the HOT weather we had this summer. We had a lot of fun splashing in the pond, and running through the splash pad.

Everyone together

It was such a blessing to spend the day with them and get to know my nieces a little better!
