Sick

That's what we've been.

I was sick last week, so Steve stayed away from me.

Steve has been sick this week with a completely different illness, so I've been staying away from him.

We've been cooped up inside during the most glorious August weather ever known to KC.

But I think we're starting to feel better since tonight we've both been wearing my pink wig. Good, good times at the Seiler household!

Iowa State Fair: Friday Night

Steve and I were in Des Moines this weekend to see family and friends.

Here's our recap of Friday at the zoo!


Steve and I starting it off in front of Stockman's.

My food on a stick.

The biggest bull.

Joe and I looking for the guys in a sea of thousands and thousands of people.

Brooke and I doing the hand. Why? No idea...

The sister-in-laws at the Paul Wright concert.

The Teether at Aunt Beth & Uncle Steve's House...

Steve's Yard Birthday

We celebrated Steve's birthday Saturday night with Steve, Ann and the boys.


Their birthday theme was yard toys for our backyard (which means the gifts are really for me). He received Jarts (yard darts), a badmitton/volleyball set and a HUGE score stick).

And then there was Andre the Giant. Two loves of this four-year old and this 36-year old.

Uncle Steve and Nate playing Jarts.

The Steve's putting together the large scorer.

Nate decided it was time to play tackle football instead...

Drum Roll for our most recent house project...

It's been done for a while but I continued to forget to take a photo of our latest completed house project. While we cannot use out back door yet, it's such a great feeling to have this complete.

Now on to the patio landscaping. That will be a blast...

Birthday Weekend

This weekend is Steve's birthday.

I'm 1,000 x's more excited about his birthday then he is. He is not excited, so it's easy to be more excited than him.

I'm so excited I may actually go into the grocery store and attempt to make a box birthday (confetti - because it's fun) cake. That makes me feel very nervous and not so excited.

But anyway... We will spend the entire weekend as follows: me making a big deal of his birthday and he getting annoyed at me for making a big deal of his birthday.

Off we go!

Us

I admittedly have not been very good at blogging lately. I'm not sure why because our life is jammed-full of ulta-exciting occurrences...or not.

Some recent highlights from the past weekend include:
- me dominating my husband in mini-golf.
- me doing the unthinkable and getting a hole-in-one on the 19th hole which entitled us to a free game. Whoo hoo!
- Steve getting us lost on Independence Avenue (just blocks, I know, from where women get paid money to do you know what).
- Us finding a Scandinavian shop off the Independence, MO square and me wheeling and dealing for a piece of Swedish glass.
- Steve going to town on every type of "wurst" across the street from the Scandinavian shop at the last German place left in KC.
- Celebrating Steve's birthday (early) with our friends, Jack and Beverly. Martinis, Scallops and beef tenderloin on the grill with a Nutter Butter dessert on Saturday night!
- Swimming with my brother and Nate.
- Grilling out with Ann/Nate and all of Ann's family on Sunday night.
- Steve getting attacked to the point he was laughing so hard he couldn't breathe buy all of the little kids (at once).
- Steve and I becoming addicted to True Blood within minutes after watching the first episode. We have since spent two hours a night watching these vampires. They have overtaken any type of productivity we may (or may not) have had.
