I must have more time for this during the summer...

I think that either I do a lot more fun things that are worth taking pictures of during the summer or I just have more time. Either way, I haven't been so good at keeping this blog updated!! It seems like school this semester is keeping me busy with lots of busy work so by the time I'm done with that, and of course, checking facebook, this blog slips my mind! :) Anyway, here's some pictures of the past couple of weekends at the KSU games (one of the things that schoolwork will not be keeping me from enjoying).
On the 17th, KSU played A&M so Erin and John came to Manhattan to go to the game. Marcia and Mike took Tessa home with them after tailgating and Erin and John kept Isaac so that he could have fun at the game. It was Harley day so he got to see lots of cool motorcycles too. It was so much fun to get to see them (and Erin again!!). Although John's team didn't do as well as I'm sure he would have liked, he took the loss well so we tried to not give him too much grief! :)
This last weekend, KSU played Colorado. Logan and Eric came along and we switched off in and out of the game. KSU played great again so it was a fun game to be at!! (And much warmer!) Here we are all packed into the back of the car on the way to the parking lot.

Kelly and her mom stopped by the tailgate and brought some yummy doughnuts!! Here's Kelly teaching Mike about her cool touch screen phone.

Here's Logan and Eric and me. Such a good day for a tailgate!

We have celebrated my birthday every year at the game closest to it since I started school at KSU. We had a yummy cake but no candles so you'll have to imagine.

Champion fisherman!

Today Eric went fishing instead of tailgating with me at the KSU game. At least he had a successful night. Here he is with two white bass that he caught.

Found a dress, check that one off the list!

This weekend Erin and Tessa flew in for a girls weekend and to help me find a dress! Marcia brought Mike up to the airport and brought Grant and Amber's two kids with her so we had a house full. It was so much fun to have all of the kids and get to see Erin and Marcia (and Mike). The best news of all is that I found a dress!! Thanks to Erin, she picked it off of the rack!!
Here is Tessa and I hanging out on the couch. She's grown so much since we saw her last.
Here's mom and Marcia with the girls. Finley had fun dress shopping, especially when I started trying on shoes. They were pretty so she had to try them on too!

We had craft night on Saturday. We made necklaces and discovered that none of us are going to be aspiring jewelry designers.

Sunday, Mike's daughter Allison came over to visit with her son Ryan. He's just a little younger than Tessa so they had fun meeting each other. Here they are hugging! They're both such loving, cuddly babies!!

While I'm at it...

Saturday night Eric and I met up with Kelly and her family and a high school friend of hers. We went down to Power and Light to Howl at the Moon, which is a piano bar. We had a lot of fun and even ran into Eric's roommate from when he lived in Texas!

Here's Michelle, me and Kelly.

This is a picture of Kelly, her mom, Michelle's mom, Michelle and Kelly's dad. They were all in town to go to the Chiefs game on Sunday. At least they had good weather for the game because as I hear, KC didn't play great...

....Or NASCAR drivers....

Sunday Eric and I went out to the NASCAR race. We were just planning on tailgating but there was a guy we tailgated with who had extra tickets so we were able to go to the race too. The race was fun and the weather was wonderful. We had a lot of fun!
Before the race, we walked around and got all sorts of free stuff. I had to be sure to take a picture of the M&M car. This is my favorite car but apparently there are quite a few people who hate the driver. I could care less who drives the car though, I just think it looks cool!
The headsets are so nice but they give me a headache!

Winner!! (And mom had him picked in the tailgate pool so she won the big bucks!)

Maybe we could be models instead...

A few weeks ago Eric and I had our engagement pictures taken by my aunt Cris. We met up with her in Clay Center to take our pics. Cris posted some of them on facebook for us to see. They're all so great already it makes us excited to see the rest! We had so much fun taking the pictures and to my great surprise, Eric didn't complain once! I have a feeling that it may have been because he got to take his new gun out when we took the pictures in the country...We're pretty tough ;)

I've done it again!

I've been a huge slacker and have failed to update the blog in such a long time! Sorry!! Time to catch up....
A couple of weekends ago we went to Newton for a family friend's wedding. We had such a great time getting to see friends.
As you can tell, it was a long ride...and I had to ride in the middle!! At least Eric was nice enough to let me sleep.
And Logan followed suit...

The bride's mom (Marla) and dad (Dan aka Old Dad aka Captain Dan, who has never lost a passenger). My family has been friends with this family for longer than I've been alive!

Eric and I at the reception. I think he's smiling so big because he got to go back to the hotel and change into jeans (after an unfortunate candle wax accident).

This is why every parent needs to have a girl. They just don't make comparable outfits for boys!

You can't have a wedding reception without the Cotton Eyed Joe! Of course, we were the most talented Cotton Eyed Joe'ers there were!

I will be trying to still play catch up. I have pictures from all sorts of stuff lately to post so I'll try to do a few at a time, without waiting three weeks in between!
