Friday, October 12 - Sunday, October 14, 2012

This weekend was pretty laid back. I have to say I'm liking the fall a lot. We just slow down and go at a slower pace, ya know?

Friday night I had Happy Hour/Dinner with Falen & Katie. Afterwards we shopped a bit.



It's always great to catch up with friends. Sometimes life just gets too dang busy.

My sister, Kate, spent the weekend with us.

Saturday we watched 2 movies.

What to Expect

I liked this one a lot. It's so true how each pregnancy is different. And also how each couple handles it differently. Everyone in it did such a great job.

5 Year Engagement

I liked this movie, although I thought it was a little long. I'm a huge fan of both the main stars in this movie, so that's ultimately what kept me watching.

I also got Kate hooked on the Walking Dead and she ended up watching both season 1 AND 2 before she left on Sunday. The premiere was that night and she really wanted to be all caught up.

Sunday night was Walking Dead premiere night, but we went to game 1 of the Lynx series.



They made it to the finals and Wayne got tickets to the whole series. They ended up losing game 1 and ultimately lost the championship, but we all still had fun at the game.

Friday, October 19 - Sunday, October 21,2012

This weekend was pretty busy.

Friday night we had the rehearsal and dinner for my cousin Tara. I left work early and attended the rehearsal and then we all went back to the Groom's parents house for dinner, desert, gifts and conversation. It was a fun night and great to get to know Jake's side of the family. AND they live right down the road from us.

Saturday was the big day. I was the photographer for them and I had such a great day. It's always a long day and lot of work as well, but I love weddings and when the couple is close to my heart it makes it all the more worthwhile.

Sunday, we went to Wayne's cousin, Aly's, birthday party. She turned 15. It's always fun to get to see family and hang out and catch up.

Oofta. What a weekend.

Friday, October 26 - Sunday, October 28,2012

This past weekend we had some family come into town for my sister's confirmation. Friday night was spent at home relaxing and recuperating from my cold.

Saturday I went to my parents house for dinner and hung out with them and then my cousin, Nate, and his wife, Kayla showed up with their dog Wicket. He's adorable.

Sunday was my sister's confirmation ceremony.



Here is the fam.



Here are Amie's God-parents.



 Afterwards we went back to my parents house. My Mom had an early dinner for everyone with cake and ice cream. Here is Amie with both of her Grandmas.



It was a special day for us all.

Congrats Amie!

I can't believe Halloween is tomorrow. So crazy!

Happy Halloween to everyone!

I was so excited that LMFAO was in town. My 2 sisters and my friend Jenny a/k/a Lemonhead and I went and had a blast.

My awesome Hubby contacted the record label dude and we got to meet them and then got floor VIP tickets.

It was such a fun night!!!

Saturday, May 26, 2012

Since my Mom watched Hailey for me so I could take my sisters to the concert, I ended up spending the night there. I got to bed late, but slept in until noon. (Thanks Ma for watching the Babe for me.) I can't even remember the last time I slept that late. It was much needed. It was a gross day out so we did a bit of shopping, but other than that it was low key.

Sunday, May 27, 2012

We had our cousin, Veronika's, 16th family birthday party to attend. It's always fun to see them, catch up and eat some amazing food.

Happy Birthday Veronika!

Later that night we had a wedding reception to attend. After we dropped Hailey off at my parents again for an overnight, we headed out to Myth Nightclub where the reception was being held. We had some great food and hung out with some awesome friends.

Ben & Jen got married in Mexico at the beginning of May and then had a reception for family and friends later.

Congrats Ben & Jen! We wish you a lifetime of happiness.

It was Memorial Day Monday and I had 2 photo-shoots in the morning and then we had plans to go to the Como Zoo in the afternoon. The parking was horrible and it was so hot out. We only stayed for a bit, but had fun anyways. I didn't take many pictures, because to be honest Hailey could have cared less if we were there or not. Here is one though on our way into the park.

And of course one of me and my lovey at the zoo, too!

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day!

Friday evening was spent with Hailey hanging out and doing a little cleaning. It was a very chill night.

Saturday, May 12, 2012

It was a super nice day. My Mom and sisters came over so I could go photograph a small wedding in the afternoon. I finally installed Hailey's new car-seat later in the day. Wayne didn't have his gig that night, so we actually got to hang out as a family. It was great!

Sunday, May 13, 2012

We had plans to have brunch with our Mom's and siblings at noon. We went to The Park Tavern. They have a great brunch and then you get an hour of free bowling with it. We ended up bowling 2 games after we ate.

My little family.



 My MIL, Me, Hailey & my Mom.

Bowling fun.



Hailey helps Mama.



Siblings



All pooped out.



After bowling with the fam, we ordered take-out from Big Bowl for dinner and had a quiet night at home.

It was a most perfect First Mother's Day!!! I'm so excited to celebrate many more to come!

Hope yours was great, too!

Hailey's Baptism

Hailey's Baptism

Hailey was baptized on Sunday, April 22, 2012. She was surrounded by all her family and both her Godfather, Uncle Andy, and Godmother, Aunt Amie.

Pastor Susan did the baptizing.

After the actual baptism, Pastor Paul swooped Hailey into his arms and carried her around the sanctuary to meet the congregation. She smiled and waived at everyone. A big hit with the crowd as always.

 Of course she was all smiles. She never ceases to amaze me.

After the church ceremony we took a few pictures with sponsors, Pastor Paul and family.

Great Green Grandma flew in from Arizona for the week;

and The Horton Family came to celebrate, too!

Great Grandma Kleene and Great Aunt Laurie drove up for the day from Clara City.

I love our church.

After pictures we headed to our house, had lunch and cake.

Wayne helped Hailey open her gifts.

It was very memorable day and I can't wait to tell Hailey all about it when she gets old enough to understand what it all means and why all her family was there to celebrate her that day. Thank you to everyone who came to help us celebrate!

Another one with Great Grandma Kleene.

You are getting to be such a big girl and I love you so much!

God Bless you, Hailey Jo!

Wayne had an event to host Friday evening so he dropped Hailey off at my parents house for the afternoon. My sisters were planning on spending the weekend with us, so instead of me going to get Hailey, my Mom brought her home along with the girls. It was so nice to get a couple errands done and then go home, eat dinner and get my cleaning done for the week.

Once they got to my house, we just hung out for the evening and went to bed.

Saturday, April 28, 2012

It was kind of a cold/rainy day. We hung out in the morning and watched My Week with Marilyn.

I liked it a lot and I think Michelle Williams was excellent in it. She is just so beautiful in this movie.

That afternoon we ran some errands. I had to pick up a birthday cake for my Brother's 21st birthday we were celebrating that night at Babe's. We ended up having dinner at Mongos (seriously love that place) with Falen and my family. We then all went home to our respective places to get ready for the evening.

It was such a great night and I think my brother had fun!!!

Sunday, April 29, 2012

I had way too much fun the night before and was really dragging butt. I did manage to get all my chores done for the day, but it definitely took me awhile to get moving. My parents and brother came up for a bit in the afternoon to pick up my sisters, but then my Dad stayed for the WWE pay-per view that night. I love that our house is the hang-out house. So we watched the pay-per view and then went to bed!

What a fantastic weekend! How was yours?
