FRIDAY

We had my cousin Christina’s wedding that afternoon, and this was what I wore! I love maxi dresses!

My cousins Ginanna (white dress in middle pic), Lucia (right pic), and Emma (left pic), Sophia and me at the reception! Fun Fact: Lucia, Emma, and their sister Julia are triplets!

The boys dancing!

Emma and I were excited to dance!

Colin took my iPod and got this selfie! (This happened a lot to me last weekend!)

There weren’t really any girls their age at the wedding so they danced together.

The dollar dance. All the kids got dollar bills and were so excited!

Solomon danced with my cousin Lucia, so sweet!

SATURDAY

I had a youth leadership retreat Saturday-Sunday morning. I know super weird selfie, but I was tired and was waiting for the boys to wake up.

After breakfast, talking, and devos we went on the pontoon!

So the boys went for a swim, and just after this picture the boat wouldn’t start for like 15-20 mins. Finally it did but it took some effort!

This girl grabbed my iPod and took selfies all day on Saturday!

The boys throwing stuff.

Maggie and I after our one-on-one soccer match, which ended fast due to me tripping and scraping up my leg, and to this day still have a pretty gross wound. After this we planned for the 2015-2016 youth group year! It was so fun! It is going to be a great year.

At like eleven we played Apples to Apples! If you are wondering, I lost.

Maggie and I slept in the boat house, while the boys slept on the pontoon (they actually said it was awesome!), here was my view falling asleep! And at like 1am the wind blew so hard both doors opened so I had to get up and close them. Ha!

I got up early to get ready for church, can you tell I’m tired?! We went to church then I came home, FaceTimed my friend Megan, and then chilled the rest of the day! How was your weekend?

So a few weeks ago, my brother Colin graduated from high school and we had a grad party for him. So here is a little bit of what we did. Note to self: Take more pictures.

Friday:

That morning we had to pick up last minute things at the store, and finish cleaning the house. After we went to St. Cloud we picked up our friends Annabelle and Mia, and dropped Solomon off at their house. I find it funny that it was Colin’s grad party but my sisters and I had friends spend the night and he didn’t. That afternoon we went to the Rec. center to set up.

Sophia and Mia.

Belle and I.

My mom.

Lydia and Gillian.

Once we set up we went home and made about 6 dozen cupcakes. Then we chilled for the rest of the evening. Sophia and Mia get really crazy and hyper when they are together, so yeah they were a little nuts! Ha!

Saturday:

Here is me after I was woken up by a mannequin head shoved in my face. I sure was awake. Not.

Here is me awake at the Rec. center. We were ready and just waited for the guests to arrive.

The Menu was:

Chili (spicy and regular) and toppings

Chips

Veggies and Dip

Pie Parfaits

Cupcakes

Puppy Chow

Here is our friend Rachel, Gillian, and I at the party. I was to busy talking to people at the party that I didn’t really take a lot of photos, hence the note to self at the top of this post.

Here is me after the party ended and we cleaned up. My hair in a top knot and ready to kick off my ankle booties. Here are some photos during clean up.

The boys went to mess around in the tennis courts, and play with a boomerang.

And here is Gillian loading up the car.

When we got home we put stuff away, and then we had a big after party which was a lot of fun! And the night ended in a huge thunderstorm (which by the way was AWESOME!), and we noticed our electrical wire was hitting a tree. Yeah thankfully our house didn’t burn down. Over all it was a great weekend!
