stressed out!!!

Ok so I just need to vent...All this wedding stuff has totally got me all stressed out. I am not myself anymore and I am starting to feel like I'm becoming a bridezilla. Good thing we only have 2 months to go! It all started with my dress-major drama that I will not get into b/c it still upsets me- but I will say one thing DO NOT ever go to David's Bridal for anything!!! They are extremely rude(a requirement to work in that store) and I just really hate them.But I have a dress(2 actually-dont ask!) and that's all that matters. Pat and I did not agree on the men's tuxes I wanted brown he wanted black, he won he does have to wear it! My mom is driving me insane about getting the flower girl shoes she doesnt understand that we can get the shoes whenever. I really want a photo booth at the wedding but my parents wont pay for it and I cant afford it so I'm pretty bummed about that. But on the plus side we had our shower and it was super fun-thanks ladies for doing a good job setting everything up! I sat around all the gifts when we got home and just kept looking at everything yes I know I am a dork! So I am a planner and have to know what is going on and when hence the itenarary that went out in June! So when it comes to planning parties it's usually me that gets everything together just so I know who is doing what and it really made me feel out of place not knowing what was going on. Next up is the bachelorette party-which is going to be soo much fun! We should have eloped somewhere and I wouldnt be stressed out! Pat has said on multiple occasions(usually when I'm crying) that we can go down to city hall and get married. I just might take him up on that offer one of these times!

Welcome Home!!

Aubrey came home last weekend!! Yay! I believe she is 5 plus pounds.

Her binky looks super big in her mouth! She is so cute!

Nick and Ashley are extremely lucky that their little girl is a fighter! It's hard to believe she is 3 months old when she weighs as much as a newborn! I haven't seen her in person yet but hopefully in the next few weeks when we have a shower for Ashley :)

too cute!

I thought this was too cute not to post. This is what happens when we go to the cabin all week and they are running around and having fun. On Sunday all they do is sleep. They look too peaceful to wake up. Tally will sleep for two days straight when she gets home. She really doesn't even make it home she falls right to sleep on the gravel road.

All 6...finally

So we finally got a picture of all 6 kids instead of just 5. We even took an all girls one which I have to say turned out pretty good. Next time we'll have to get all the spouses in the picture too.

She's 85!?

Last weekend we had my Grandma Pat's 85th birthday party and it was a blast. We got to see alot of family while we were in Fort Dodge. My dad's side of the family is not very big so we got to do a family photo. A little hectic but it turned out ok. I hope I look as good as her on my 85th birthday!!

How time flies!

We had a girls taco night last week and most of my girlfriends showed up. It was really nice sitting around and talking like old times. With all of them having kids and their own families they are busy!! So I hope down the road we can have more of theses nights! All the kids were super good and got along great.

too funny

My sister Brooke just sent this of her boys and I thought it was the funniest thing ever! LOL look at Brady!(the middle child!) Austin's look is classic, he's at that age where ne never wants to smile for anyone. And poor Maverick looks lost but cute as always. This was taken downtown when we had all the flooding(on Maverick's birthday) you can click on the pic to make it bigger

who's the mommy?!!

I think this is funny! My sister and I think that when I have Evie she thinks that it's her mommy becuase we look alike(supposedly) but I think she can tell because we have different scents and voices. But sometimes when she looks at me I think she thinks I am her mommy! Guess who's who yet??

the girls

Look how big the girls are getting! Aubrey and Evie are lucky that they are going to have someone close in age to play with when the whole family gets together! Not just boys anymore.

fair week...

So I haven't posted in awhile. We just got done with fair week!! If you know my family and friends this is a pretty big deal! We always lived by the fairgrounds groing up and it wasnt summer until the fair came! This year was fun but not great. I think that is because we are all growing up and starting families of our own and we all have reposibilities now :( But it had to happen sometime! These aren't very good pictures but its all I had! Sorry girls. Oh and Nicole made it back just in time for the fair also! Her daughter Jaylee seemed to have a good time! Not to much exciting stuff happened at the fair this year, the concerts were pretty blah.
