Last Game and Blog of 2007

Mike invited me to go to the Bears game Sunday. He and I got down to tail-gate at about 8:30 a.m. We hung out and made our way into the stadium at about 11:50 a.m. When we got in I received a call from Aim and she told me that she, Chris and Kimmy had scalped tickets and were on the Cadillac Club side. so at half time Mike and I made our way over there and I greased the guy at the club entrance and boom! The 5 of us got to watch the game together. It could not have worked out better- and a little bonus was the Bears won- Not bad!

It was getting very cold 21 degrees to be exact with the wind-chill. Chris and Kimmy being from Arizona were not likin it so we moved inside to the Cadillac Club.

The Bears were not looking good at this point

This is the final blog of 2007- The year that I began blogging- The year we got engaged- The year I got a niece and a new cousin- The year Aim got her first brand new car- The year we got closer to one another and eachothers family-

We want to wish to all of our friends and family a Happy New Year 2008

Happy Birthday Wendy!

We had a lot of fun with you guys when you were here! We are lucky to have you in our family. Happy Birthday from all the Chi-town familia!

FIGHT NIGHT TAKE 79

Saturday we made the trip out to Lombard once again for the biggest MMA(mixed martial arts) fight ever- Chuck Liddell VS Wanderlei Silva. Jaryl and Derri(I say that all the time so I'm not changing it) hosted us as always. Kimmy and Chris are staying by us through New Years so they came as well.
There was even more reason for this fight card to be excited... The whole Family was there, my parents, the Ryskes (Aunt Lynda and Uncle Bob) and the whole Timmons crew (cousin Jami, Chris and the three Ps, Peyton, Paige and Piper)

The Chrises


Before the fights I supervised a bounce house session in the basement. Peyton was ready for the main event so he peeled his shirt off

Piper plays peekaboo with Aim-

We had a nice din din before the fight and the whole Chi-town fam was here... It was awesome- The blood sport proves yet again to bring families closer together- Thanks to Dana white and the Fertita's
