Vamos, vamos, Argentina!!!

Argentina taught the US Soccer Team a lesson today on how to really play the game by destroying them 4 - 1 in the first round of the 2007 Copa America tournament in Venezuela.

Here is one of my favorite players, Pablo Aimar, celebrating his goal!





And here are some more awesome players celebrating the win.

To show you her true passion for soccer Argentinian style, here's Brianna chanting one of the great soccer chants from Argentina!!!



Another great moment so far in the Copa America was when Mexico beat Brazil 2 - 0. Good for them!!

"Ernie Haase & Signature Sound"

On Friday, June 22nd, we were blessed to attend a concert by "EH&SS," Brianna's favorite Gospel music quartet (http://erniehaase.musiccitynetworks.com). It was a wonderful evening of joyful praise to God and we all enjoyed it tremendously. Brianna was like an expert concert goer.We were even lucky enough to get a picture with Ernie at the end of the evening. All four guys were cool & accessible to the public.

A breathtaking wedding reception

The wedding party table

A beautiful place setting for one of the 500 guests in attendance. The menu consisted of Alli's favorite tossed salad, Jesse's favorite chicken lathered in cream mushroom sauce with a side of sauteed vegetables and mashed potatoes with spinach and garlic. Vegetarians were served pasta with a cream mushroom sauce and veggies. Very yummy!!!

Hors d' oeuvres were served as guests arrived

and a gorgeous wedding cake!

Our love nest

We have lots of space and not a lot furniture (yet!!) and that equal a big playground for Brianna
Our beautiful kitchen!
Brianna's African theme bathroom
Our master bathroom complete with bathtub and shower (not pictured). Slowly but surely, everything is falling into place. We LOVE our new house and can't wait to get some new furniture pieces to fill the empty spaces. We also can't wait to have our loved ones come and visit us for a weekend!
