A drive to Rockford

On Saturday, I so graciously offered myself up for driving Grandma to Rockford to attend her sister's 60th wedding anniversary lunch. I had Ava for the day, so she joined us too!

It was a fun time, kind of, and it was nice to spend some time with my Grandma, but we were in the car for an awful long time and I, of course was the only driver. Add on top of that, a 5 year old who got pretty bored pretty quickly and decided to act up...

Boy oh boy was I wiped out by the time we finally got home and oh so happy to go home to a nice quiet house. It was a fine day though!


Grandma and Ava

The granddaughter and great granddaughter

Isn't she so darn cute?!

Grandma and her only living sibling. Grandma was a bridesmaid in Aunt Til's wedding. I got to see all the wedding pictures from back in the days as well as hear their stories and all that they are thankful for. I can't wait to grow old and grey with my Mister!

Babies on the brain

Yesterday (Saturday) I went to a baby shower for Lori (Ryan's step sister, my future sil). It was actually a lot of fun! We all had name tags made for us; they were made out of blue felt (it's a boy!) and pinned to look like diapers. So cute! We played a game involving these little diapies...you had to look inside of it and whomever had the poopy diaper was the next to get pregnant in the next year. Well, I bet you can get who got that dirty diaper...yep...it was moi... I surely don't plan on getting preggers in the next year, so here's to that not happening. It's not that I don't want kids, I just don't want to have a baby that soon. We plan on sometime in the next couple years-ish...just not in the next year!

Isn't it so cute?!
