The Fralick Family

Ok, my first post back must have pictures. Lots and lots of pictures, so as not to disappoint you. What's that? Oh, you're welcome! I knew you'd like that. Seriously, things here are going good. I will do an update on my IVF later today, but for now just enjoy the next few collages I have made especially for you!

Chace turned 2 this year. He had a bowling party, which he loved. As you can see, he had a SS theme. The kid at the bowling alley who runs the place said it was the best decorated party he'd ever seen! I beg to differ, as my 30th surprise party was held there, and I think that was the best decorated party; but I'll let Amy have her moment. Though she was the one who decorated my party, so I guess she wins either way! OK, back on track. The party was fun, he got a lot of great gifts, all the kids had fun, and Erin beat Raymond in bowling! I took a pic of the score board, but forgot to add it. My Grandpa Kopec is probably rolling in his grave! He says he let her win. Um, ok.



My cousin Jessica is due to have a baby girl in July. I have never taken maternity pics before and she let me practice on her. It was really fun. The bottom picture has a lot of meaning right now, as big brother Hayden is obsessed with dinosaurs. I just think it's cute! I can't wait for little Rilynn to get here so I can practice pictures with a new baby!!


We took a little family trip to Ferne Clyffe. I had never been before, and I am just amazed at the beauty that sits so close to me here in Southern Illinois that I never knew about! We are definitely starting to take more frequent day trips like this. It was a great time, and perfect weather to take the trip. If you've never been, I recommend the hike to the waterfall.


Bill, Grace, and I took a little trip one day to Metropolis. Again, I never knew what neat things we had just around the corner. We visited Fort Massac on the river. We love visiting historical places, and this was a neat place to go. Grace loved it and even said that she likes doing things like this because she gets to learn about stuff while having fun. A girl after my own heart. She got to see the Super Man statue and we ended the trip with a cup of Dippin Dots at their store. I see lots of fun little trips like this during the summer!


Whew, that's enough for now, don't you think? You don't? Well, I must leave something for later! I'm off to go find a dress for my brother's wedding. Have I ever mentioned that I HATE shopping?! Wish me luck!!
