Chris and Jenn's Wedding

This is Chris and Jenn's wedding posting; however I don't have any pictures of the ceremony. Maybe I will get some later....Until then enjoy.

Chris and Jenn the night before the wedding.
The lodge had a great basement area with a pool table, jukebox, arcade game, air hockey machine, and a t.v. the size of Texas. We enjoyed using all of it. Pictured is Stephen, Kelli, and Janel.

The guys went to hillbilly golf; the most "unusual" put-put course in the world. It wasn't very unusual, but we all had a good time.

This is were the wedding took place. We all turned a bunk room into a great place for the special ceremony.

Steven and Keri enjoyed being dressed up together for Chris and Jenn's wedding.

Kelli and Keri before the wedding.

Keri, Kelli, Jennifer, Janel

Kelli, Agnes, and Stephen. We had great conversations about lots of stuff that I can't remember right now.

Steven and Keri taking a break from the drive next to a beautiful river.

A log cabin built in the 18oo's in the Smoky Mountains.

Kelli took this photo of Steven and Keri. It seems fitting because we drove 1,500 miles in six days!

This soldier fought in the Revolutionary War!!! Steven loves history so it was exciting for him to see.

We all loved the scenery.

Julian and Beth before the hike.

We drove miles and miles through beautiful forest like this.

Here is the crew during the hike.
The end of hike led to this waterfall that was COLD!

Baden was amazed at the chevy corvette that carried his chicken tenders and fries.

Paul holding Will. Doesn't he look like a pro?

Chris and Jenn the night before they flew over to England.

This is the entire gang!
This was Steven's second game ever of settlers. Jennifer won. Doesn't John looked excited...He was having a rough game!

Keri's Birthday Bash

I was very excited for my wife. She got just what she wanted.

Keri loved all the gifts that she recieved for her birthday. John and Janel gave her a cool bamboo cutting board and Jennifer, Kelli, Cindy and Gary gave her so many cool earings among other things.

From Chicago to Central Illinois

We were greeted by a suppressed Chicago skyline on our way to visit our friends Job and Bethany.

Steven and Keri in Chicago's Chinatown. We were enjoying a awesome pineapple smoothie. Yum. Job did an amazing job giving Keri and Steven a tour of Chicago.

Steven and Keri could not get enough of this crazy bean.

The Giant Bean with the reflection of Chicago and many amazed tourists.

This picture was taken under the silver bean at Millinium Park in Chicago.

We all had great steaks at Vivo's. Job is a valet parker for the restaurant. He gets to drive cool cars like the Bentley in the left corner of the picture.

Put-Put at Navy Pier in the rain with Bethany and Job. Keri and Steven lost. I'm gonna blame it on the rain.

Cubs vs Mets.... I bid 13 times on Ebay trying to win tickets to this game. This is as close as I got. Bummer.

Keri and I were honored to be in the wedding of our great friends Mark and Angie.

I promise we had permission from Mark and Angie.
Gary loves NASCAR. Gary loves Chevy cars in NASCAR. Now Gary has a chevy. He is very happy.
Steven and Keri....Come on down....You've won a new car!!! We'll, we didn't win the car and it isn't new (2004) but we love it!

happy birthday baden!

Baden really loved the spongy letters that Aunt Kelli gave him. This boy received lots of fun stuff!
The excitement was hard to contain at this birthday party for the coolest little two year old we know. Baden loved all of his gifts. (This is Baden opening up one of his favorite books: The Deep Blue Sea.)

More pictures will be arriving of this fabulous party very soon.....

Gotta love that piece of paper

Graduation day 5.6.06
Got the degree....now we just gotta get that job...

Well, this is a picture from last fall, but it is a picture we both like and it will work until I can learn how to navigate this system.... However, Keri and I love the fall and can't wait for the leaves to start changing again. A new activity that we enjoy doing is hiking the beautiful scenery in Arkansas. This was a photo taken outside Steven's grandparents house. yep, pretty cool stuff.

The oh so exciting adventures of steven and keri begin...

So this is the first posting for the long anticipated stevenandkeri blog site. Well, it hasn't been anticipated but this has specifically been set up for our great friends and family across the pond. Chris and Jennifer, we miss you two and look forward to seeing you in August.

I will try to figure out how this blog thing works as soon as possible so we can post more pictures of our exciting summer! Hope you all enjoy.

steven for the 2 of us
