BC Homecoming Saturday!

So, after my night out with the girls Friday night - Mike and Molly drove up to Atchison Saturday morning, along with some of the other hubbys and kiddos!

I was SOO excited to see them!!

The campus was gorgeous . . .and it was a BEAUTIFUL day to walk around!

Soo excited for Molly to see where I went to college for the first time! Of course, a band was playing when we parked and arrived on campus - so she immediately started dancing which helped her first impression greatly! If there is music - it's got to be a fun place!

The new GROTTO!!!

The new St. Benedicts statue with a future Raven.

The only guy from our class who joined us, Kevin Easterday!!

Molly loved all the attention . . .

Marching band getting ready for the football game . . .

Old-fashioned BC Tail-gate! Danielle and Heather's kids joined us too and Kelly's hubby grilled burgers and hotdogs for everyone!

Sky-divers before kick off!

Benedictine Homecoming - 15 Year Reunion!!

My girlfriends and I went back to Atchison, Kansas this weekend to celebrate HOMECOMING since it has been 15 years since we graduated!! It seems like just yesterday - well maybe like 10 years ago - but certainly not like 15!!!

We all drove or flew to A-Town at dusk on Friday afternoon . . .

Here is most of our crew - 15 years later!!

(l-r: April, Christy, ME, Danielle, Joanne, Stephanie, Kelly, Nunzia, Jen, Gretchen)

MIA: Heather, Amy, Stacy, Shannon, Lisa.

Soo impressed that so many of us made in back!! Love these girls so much! We spent the whole night at Mueller's - our old stomping ground back in the day . . .

Molly's 1st Piano Concerto . . .

Halloween Party!

Molly was invited to a Halloween Party at Ainslie's house this morning! A lot of her friends were there and it was such a fun time to see all the kids in their costumes! Molly dressed up like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and her friend Ainslie dressed up like a beautiful butterfly! Molly got a big hug when we first got there!

Tea party with the boys . . .

Brooks & Molly . . .

Jacob the Pirate! Arrghh!

Max was Buzz Lightyear of course!

Marshall was the cutest handyman ever . . .

Thanks for having us over! We LOVE Halloween!

Where's Molly?

Can you find Molly?

Here's a hint: the toilet paper is almost all off the roll . . .

Her new favorite hiding place. When I first found her hiding in this spot - all I could see were her big brown eyes peering over the toilet lid.

Balloons!!

Molly. Loves. Balloons.

Luckily her birthday balloons did not whimper out for a good 36 hours after her birthday party . . .

Molly turns TWO!

We celebrated Molly's birthday at the park yesterday afternoon with her friends! It was a GORGEOUS day and we all had a FUN time - one of those days where you wish the sun would never go down. Good friends, good food, and fabulous weather - what more do you need on a Sunday afternoon -- seriously???

Sooo many pictures that really captured the day that we had to put them together in a short video! Remember to go to the bottom of the blog to stop the music first.

And just a few pictures, had to include my cupcake marathon from Saturday night!

In Molly's eyes - it would NOT be a birthday party without balloons and party hats.

Lots of friends joined us to celebrate the occasion! Even Brooks' 10 day old brother!

Our family!

Eating pizza . . .

Molly blowing out her candles on her Elmo cupcake!

After the sun went down . . . helping mom and dad load the car - don't forget the balloons guys! What a fun day! Thanks for helping us celebrate!!

Go Big Red!

Molly wore her Nebraska shirt today to help cheer for her Huskers with Daddy!

Go Big Red, she screams!

Singing her fight song for Nebraska!

Taking a half-time break with cupcakes and milk on the front porch swing! When I told her she could have a cupcake with daddy - she told me, "I'm SO excited, mom!"

Cheers!
