We have a roof....

...or at least the start of one! Way to go guys!



Chris Schuch has been there to help quite a bit - so have several other neighbors including Jerry Kostal, Joe Pechous & Jim Fillaus!



This will eventually be part of our master upstairs suite! I am so looking forward to that! Although I would feel better about living up there once the floor is on and everything is enclosed. I have never gotten to live "upstairs" before...always wanted to! My room was either on the main floor or int he basement!

I know - another video of Marshall...but he is getting to be so entertaining! And I just love his laugh. This is the Bratetic family's new puppy - Tipper! Marshall is welcoming him to the family.

Mr. Marshall Likes To DANCE!

Catching Up!

Not sure if you heard...but the house we were working so hard on had a bit of a disaster June 22nd. We are still waiting on insurance to get started again!

The whole Tycz-Sedlacek Family

Our Unity Candle got left in the car - this is what happened!

Just a 3 weeks after our wedding - the Sedlacek Family grew again adding Tim Souhrada!

I spent part of the 4th of July weekend in Bloomfield with the Bratetic family - and I got to do Marshalls hair!

Wedding Presents!

I don't mind the few cards and gifts that keep trickling in! After they stop all I will ever get is Bills! This gift came in today and we are so excited! We LOVE popcorn! THANKS to all who were so generous - we got so much to get us off to a great start! ~ erin & jon

Godmama Ernie

Marshall, Dee and I spent the day Saturday in Sioux City doing some Independence shopping! Marshall really enjoyed Victoria's Secret where he found some pretties of his own!

I was nice enough to bring Marshall some fireworks to play with too! His favorites are the party poppers and the snaps! When Dee & Loren set off the bigger fireworks Marshall would say "Bang Mommy, Bang! Bang Daddy, Bang!" He is just too funny!

He also now calls me Ernie - plain as day! It started off as Ern...and he added the "e"! Dee likes to encourage it - so I may be Auntie Ernie from now on!

View From My Game Camera

I set up a game camera in February to try to catch whatever was leaving very LARGE tracks in my snow. I forgot that I left it out there and 4 months later - I have compiled a gallery of photos of all the activity I miss but my camera caught! There were over 380 pictures - most of nothing but the trees (since the wind activated the camera a few times) so I choose the ones with critters and you can see them HERE!
