Friends Weekend

I have the best group of friends from high school.  We have all gone down different paths since graduation but yet all remained great friends.  SO, in light of our 30th birthdays we decided a "Girls Weekend" was in order!  Brianne hosted us at her house in Omaha and we had the best time!!  We hung out, got pedicures, went shopping, hit up the beach, & went out on the town!  You can read more about our weekend here .  Jodi did a great job with the recap of our weekend!!  {thank you journalist, Jodi!}

Preschool Time!!

Reese had her first day of preschool!  She is doing really well.

But it really wears her out!!  {she took two steps in the front door and she was OUT}

Circus Time!!

I love the circus!  I have ever since I was little.  Each year it comes to the quad cities... so each year we try to go... we missed last year, but made a point to get there this year.  The girls were in awe the whole time!  Grandma Carmel got us "celebrity seating" so for part of the circus we got to go right down in the ring.  So fun!  Thanks Grandma for a FUN night!  {Hallie's favorite part was obviously the elephants and tigers... she took 80 pictures of just those two acts!  I love passing off my camera to get her point of view.  She thought the elephants holding tails was the cutest thing ever, and we have the pictures to prove it!!}
