This past weekend we went up to Iowa for my 10 year high school reunion. I am exhausted today but we had a wonderful time seeing all my old friends and catching up! Friday evening we went to the TJ football game and tailgated w/ HyVee catering. Kaitlynn had fun running around with some of the other kids. The weather was absolutely beautiful! Here is a nice family pic before we left for the game...
I made Kaitlynn a shirt with a black and orange yellow jacket. It didn't iron on very well but it worked for a few hours!
Brooke flew in from Colorado and Kaitlynn went right to her!
We were going to stay for the game but decided that Kaitlynn was not going to be interested in sitting and due to the fact that there was still a line to even buy tickets and the other team had already scored a touchdown we decided to head up to Matt's Aunt Jacquie's house instead. We had fun visiting with all of the family and of course Kate always loves playing with Asha!
Lovin' on Sandy. She's such a great dog!
Itsy Bitsy Spider with Nanny
Cousinly love...Matt and Asha! Check out this big 2nd grader missing a tooth.
Checkin' out the Nintendo DS with Great Grandma Wiese. I don't think either of them new what they were doing!
We then dropped off Kaitlynn back at my parent's house and went to meet some of my old friends again at Maloney's Irish Pub. That's Wendy Maloney in the back and she was in our class and owns the place. We had a great time!
On Saturday, Kaitlynn spent the day with Grammy and Grandpa Sewing while Mom and I went to a few garage sales, out to lunch and even treated ourselves to pedicures. Then Matt and I had a nice dinner with his parents (Jean's lasagna is my favorite!) and headed to Scott's Street for the official reunion.
Any, Angela and Brooke
Here's Amy and I right before we left. Two nights out past midnight did me in. I think it might take 2 weeks to recover! It was a blast, though!
Here are some other pictures from the weekend...
A mad, tired, grumpy face before her nap Saturday morning. She's not always happy and easy going!
Trying to escape...
Reading a book with Grandma Hardie. Yes, she snuck in that pacifier! She really only has it when she goes to sleep. Some day we'll get rid of it. She never asks for it and doesn't get mad when we take it away after she wakes up so we decided a little bit longer won't hurt her too much.
Our big helper
Lately she's really been into "helping" us do things around the house. Every night when Matt gets home she helps him carry in his cell phone and flashlight to be charged up for the next day. It's really adorable!
All ready to go!
After a while she decided to try it out.
They LOVED the tractors. The sign said that they were supposed to be 3 to do this but we decided we could break that rule!
High-Five
Checking out the walking trail
If I could just reach a little further I might be able to taste it!
Too cute!
I can't believe how grown up she is becoming! 
Before we left we stopped at the playground for some more fun.
I guess we've taught her so well how to go down the stairs on her stomach that she decided to do the slide the same way.
Wee!
