Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from us Kloziks!  Hope you have a blessed, happy, healthy and prosperous 2011!  ;)

Some Pre-Thanksigivng Fun :)

(Six Crazy Cousins!)

We had a little get-together to celebrate some Nov birthdays.  And since Thankgiving (all holidays) are so crazy now, had a little early celebration.  We can't be everywhere that we want to be on one day!  Some good wine, delicious food, awesome company...you can't ask for anything more!

Happy Birthday to Tyler, Zack, Shannon and Louie!  Zack turned 13 this year!  Hard to believe I am the mom of a teenager.  I am so glad that I got the best one out there!  Such a good boy! :)

Granny and Grandpa: still as vibrant as ever!  Love you two so much!

I am so thankful for my loving and wonderful family!  There is no greater blessing in life.  Thank you, God.

Happy Halloween 2010

Happy Halloween from the Klozik's! 

I totally wanted to pilfer this spooky cat from my neighbor...but we work together, so I had to settle for a picture instead.  The head moves back and forth too...very spooky!                                                                                                      

My Wizard and Ninja!

So, I've been pretty quiet lately.  Working hard and loving life with my awesome family.  What more can you ask for?  :)

7/02/10 Darn...No one walked the plank today!

We had such a beautiful day boating with Shannon and the kids!  Perfect weather and the perfect captain...my sexy pirate, Lou!!  After a leisurely cruise, we stopped for some swimming fun at a sand bar on the Illinois River.  The kids had a blast!  It was not too busy on the river.  It was like we had the whole water way to ourselves!  What a great day!

Bummer...the kids were so well behaved!  No one had to walk the plank...this time!!









<== My 'Sexy Pirate'...the tshirt says so!! :)

So...June Flew By!!

Well, what can I say...we traveled 17 days this month...oh, my!  We, as the BESTEST parents in the world, are showing our kids some lovely parts of God's great world!!  We have been so very blessed with the means and opportunity to travel both by car and plane.  Our most recent trip was to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  It was wonderful, beautiful, and serene!  The food was soooo good...we both gained weight, even with working out.  So now we have to get our butts in gear!  All I can say is...'when do we go back'??

<== I love this pic of us! 


            Zack and Savvie LOVED Mexico! ==>


There are so many more great pics, which are on our share site, of course.  ;)   http://klozikfamilypics.shutterfly.com/

We also had a totally rockin' road trip to Stowe, Vermont in the beginning of June.  We got to spend some quality time with Vince, Meg, Roman, Charlie, Scotty, Tiffany, Lauren and Parker.  The kids had a total blast together and Vermont was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!  It was so picturesque, and the weather was just perfect!! One of the highlights was rock climbing on their mountain boulders.  SO FUN!   I would totally move to that area of Vermont...it was so peaceful and 'GREEN'!









Lauren and Parker are so cute and sweet....wish we could see them more often!

On the way home, we stopped for a few days in Niagara Falls, Canada.  Still an awesome and powerful site!  We took the kids on a boat ride to the base of the Falls...sooooo cooool!!





Yes...we are so thankful to be able to give our kids the opportunity to travel.   We are so blessed!

Hope that the rest of the summer is as wonderful...oh that's right...there is housework and home projects to do. Hey, it can wait until Sept. right??   ;)

Moving on into June 2010!

We are counting down ...just a few days until summer break! Looking forward to traveling...Vermont, Niagara Falls Canada and Puerto Vallarta Mexico are June highlights for us! Looking forward to spending time with family and friends, boating, rejuvenating.

We spent the Memorial Day Weekend camping with the kids and cousins...problems with the camper's air conditioner left us sweating, but we made the best out of it!

We hope that the kids had a good time...swimming, miniature golf, fishing, camping, bonfires, and some independence. The bugs weren't so bad this year and it was a little quieter at the resort. Lou and I got some time in for walks, hand holding and bonding (while listening to the Blackhawks game...lol).




So nice to kick off the summer with my babe!







We recently celebrated Granny & Grandpa's 70th anniversary...that's right...I said 70 YEARS together as a married couple! What a blessing! Not many couples can claim that honor! I pray that Lou and I can brag about our own '70th'!!
