I got up at 5:40am saturday morning and got ready and out the door with Aiden. Sadly Mike could not join us :( He had to work and also had to STUDY! STUDY! STUDY! He took his 1st test for the CPA exam on Monday in Lincoln. 1 down, 3 to go! yea!!
So as soon as I got to KC sarah had breakfast all ready for us and we ate and headed to her 1st appt. Derek and Josh took the boys over to Kelley's house to swim and grill out. They had SO much fun!
Sarah is NOT a shopper and HATES to try on clothes so she was not too excited to go dress shopping. I think she is NUTS!! This is every girls dream! I told her I would gladly try on all the dresses for her :) She had it in her mind that she would for sure find the dress at the first appt and would be canceling her second one. She even hoped the first one she tried on would be THE ONE. Well we thought it was THE ONE but insisted she try on more. I felt like I was on say yes to the dress, one of my favorite shows on TLC. After seeing some of the dresses the consultant picked I piped up and asked if she had anything a little more simple. A couple of the dresses she had chosen were pretty full and sarah is so petite they just swallowed her. She ended up bringing out a really simple gown and a belt... they are super popular right now. We didn't think Sarah would be the one to cry when she found the one but sure enough she did as did we all. It was SO stunning! She doesn't like veils but didn't think she would feel right walking down the aisle with out one so we picked one out and all together its absolutely beautiful. I cannot wait for APRIL!! It can't get here soon enough. Now that she has her dress, venue, flowers etc we can look for bridesmaid dresses that will cordinate and Im super pumped. Its all going to be so amazing, I can't wait for her special day!!
After dress shopping we headed to lunch. It was SO hot we were boiling and the first few places downtown we tried were only open M-F. Apparently corporate america gives these restaurants enough business during the week they dont need to be open weekend.s I still think thats super annoying and weird. After walking what seemed like a mile in WEDGES I was hot, feisty and hungry! We ended up driving to West Port and eating at a great restaurant there called McCoy's
Miss Harper got so much attention, she is such a doll.
I planned on giving aiden a bath but after coming down from changing I found aiden asleep in Josh's arms. It was too cute, poor little guy was exhausted!!
I decided to head to bed early and forgoed staying up with everyone and having some drinks. Im glad I did because not only did we have family pics in the morning but aiden woke up with a tummy ache and threw up at about 1:20am. Gotta love that! :) He was fine, we just ate a bunch of crap that day so it didn't sit well. Poor baby, it was ALL my fault, I should have known. Lesson Learned!!
My brother's co worker took some pics of us siblings, significant others and kiddos on sunday morning at Loose Park. It was a nice morning and the park is gorgeous. There were TONS of other people and photographers taking pics that day. We havn't had pics taken in years so hopefully some turned out good. Aiden was a little stinker and didnt want to stay put, smile or even look at the camera. AHH! I'm so sad mike wont be in them... I felt like such a single mom taking pics with just me and aiden. I didn't like that at all!! I can't wait to share them as soon as we get them back. The photographer was a doll and super sweet and incredibly patient. Maybe Ill have her take some more for us once we get to kc!
It was a great weekend and I love spending time with my family. I can't wait to be in KC with them, I already have a list of things I want to do when we get there. Mike will be working a lot so Ill be spending lots of time with them!
I've decided I need to start blogging more often so i dont keep doing these ridiculously long posts. They are super long and boring... sorry.
Up next ... what you've all been waiting for... a post All About Aiden! This little guy is up to all sorts of things these days! Can't wait to share!! (I promise... less talking and more pictures! yea!)
