Browntown and Golfing

Friday night, Michael and I went to Bonner Springs for Tiblow Days. Browntown was playing out there. It was lots of fun hanging out and listening to them! If you want to check out Browntown, click here for their website.

Sat, Michael went and hung out with Ben all day and night. I think they played with cars during the day and then went to the movies. I went to play in our company's scramble golf tournament. I was pretty much a pro, after all, a couple nights before I went to Smiley's and hit some balls. So, the tournament went well. Ok, I wasn't exactly a pro, but they used my ball for play three times! And, I saved them on one hole...which helped us win first place!!! Not too bad for my first time actually playing golf! (BTW, I don't count the one time that we went to the Horton golf course in PE as actual playing, but that's a different story.) Afterwards Dana, John T, and I went to Fronteras...the Mexican food was fantastic! Then, that night we went out in Westport. It was a long, fun day!

Sunday, Michael and I didn't do much. He worked outside on the lawn, and I cleaned inside. I'm looking forward to this weekend...extra day off!!!

Two Weekends in One Post

Ok, I'm behind again, so I'm updating the last two weekends!
Two weeks ago: My sister came to visit before she started college...which is crazy to think she's old enough to go there! But, it's exciting...college was super fun for me! We didn't do too much exciting stuff, but it was fun to just chat and hang out. Friday, we went to Big Bams Burgers (know as "Triple B" by a friend of mine). We watched a couple movies that night. Sat, we ran around shopping and running errands. That night, we took her to Longhorn Steakhouse for some delicious food. We were going to go to Dave and Buster's, but were too full and tired. So, we headed back to the house and watched another movie. Sunday, she wanted to meet up at the Royal's game with some friends, so we drove her out there since she's not used to driving in "the big city." The rest of the day, Michael and I just relaxed.

This Last weekend, we were pretty busy. Friday night, we headed over to Michelle and Nate's house to celebrate his birthday. It was fun to hang out with friends and grill up some good food.

Sat, Michael worked, then went to a friend's house and I went to help assist a photographer at a wedding all day/night. It was a good experience. I didn't realize how much work and effort photographers really put into doing a wedding. By the end of the night, I was exhausted and my back and arms hurt from carrying heavy cameras and bags! I need to work out! I confirmed my feelings towards wedding photography, I do not want to do it unless it's very small and for someone I know well....and it will not be any time soon. I did learn some things and hopefully I helped her out too! It was interesting being at a wedding as a vendor and not as a guest. I think for now, I'll just enjoy the guest side...with drinks, dancing, and cake! :) I'm looking forward to my brother's wedding next month!
Sunday, we slept in...which was wonderful! Then, we went to the Legend's and out to Michael's parents house. Morgan's birthday was on Sat, so everyone came to her birthday dinner. It was good and great to see everyone!

Tonight, I'm excited to get off work. One of my friends from college, Jody, is getting married in Feb. She lives out in CA. She is back in the KC area for a few days and us bridesmaids and her are getting together to try on dresses and then go to dinner to catch up! Can't wait! Hopefully, we'll get plans made for the bach party too! We may all meet in Vegas, that should be a blast!

Ok, some random picts of our babies that we've taken lately...

Derby

Friday, Michael and I went to a demolition derby in Lawrence at the fair. He has a buddy that was in it. It was fun, I don't know if I've ever been to one...if so, I had to have been pretty little. Shawn got out in the first round, but it was still a good time hanging out with everyone there.

Sat, Michael worked and went to visit Lynsey and Tyler at their house while Jeff was working. Tyler made up a new game while I was there. He put a large couch pillow on the floor, then climbed on the couch and dove onto it. He was cracking us up. We ended up giving him all the pillows so he had a larger target and less chance of hurting himself. He never got tired of it! So, cute. That night, Michael and I decided to stay home and not go any where. It was really nice to have no plans. We made dinner and then watched the movie "21," which was pretty good!

Sunday, we had Michael's family over for dinner. It's been awhile since we've all gotten together. I made pesto rollups for an appetizer, Italian salad, garlic bread with olive oil for dipping, Chicken parmesan, and Strawberry Shortcake for dessert. It was all really good! We played a couple games, then got ready for the rest of the week.
