This is where I spent most of my day.
And therefore looked like this (but it turned tan - go SPF 30!).
Thanks for the photos, Kati!

Lake Viking
On Saturday we spent the day at Lake Viking (courtesy of Rooster and Kati) with friends enjoying a day of sun and fun!
This is where I spent most of my day.

BTE Fan Club
Last week I got a Facebook message from my friend, Lance, who I know from college. Actually Lance was my Cy Aide at my Iowa State orientation the summer before my summer year. So technically one could say he was one of the first people I ever met at Iowa State. Of course by 5-minutes into the bus tour, my mom knew everything about him...and still knows his name to this day.
Lance's best friend happens to be a friend from my hometown. Patrick is exactly one year older as we share March 16 as our birthday. He is so funny. They are both so funny.
Anyway, Lance said they were coming to KC for the Better Than Ezra concert and wanted to know if we wanted to meet them out. We had a great time with them. Pat and Steve knew a lot of the same people since Pat went to Buena Vista for a while in college.
These two guys are groupies of BTE and have traveled to all of these far away cities. I was excited I knew three songs.
Lance, Patrick and me.
Lance is good...I'm not sure how he pulled off this picture b/c Steve was moving quick to get out of it!

Napa Valley Get Away....Ahh...
A week ago Friday I flew out to Napa Valley to see my very close friend, Michelle, and her fiance' David for some fun, sun, wedding planning, vino and more vino!
Saturday morning I got to see Michelle's wedding dress. It is GORGEOUS.
Saturday morning Michelle also had a pre-wedding makeover. This girl grabbed me twice. Once for this picture and once to make me the Purple People Eater with my eyes.
Michelle and I sipping champagne at Mumm.
Dinner and drinks at Solage in Calistoga.
What a beautiful night and scenery.
The first sips of a fun day of wine tasting.
Winery#2.
Winery #3. No photos were taken at wineries #4 & #5 as I was just focusing on keeping my head up (not very successfully).

Mini KD Reunion!
I left for my 2nd of 3-weekends in a row of flights and headed to Chicago for a mini KD Reunion with three of my sorority sisters.
It was a wonderful weekend in many ways.
Since none of us live in Chicago, we stayed at Steph's parent's house. Me, Steph, Amy & Angie.
Hopkey, Steph and me at dinner Friday night. It was a beautiful night to be outside.
What great memories (then and now) of being a KD.
All of the kids (I was the only without) Saturday morning at the splash pool!
Hopkey and Alex.
Steph and Kai.

His Name is Nate, And He is Great...
On June 28, our nephew, Nate, turned four. Unbelievable.
He had a pool party. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and perfect.

Raleigh Adventure (Saturday)
On Saturday, we awoke (way early for going to bed so late) and hit up the 4th of July parade.
Sam and Peyton enroute with their sippy cups.
Tom and Jodi's daughter Malia as the highlight of the parade!
Jodi is not afraid of leftovers. :)

This photo of Jac (the hostess with the mostess) was taken by 4-year old Malia but it's adorable.
Jason and Steve with their stogies (oh yeah, and their Bud Heavies).
Fresca Vodkas!
This is such a sweet picture of Jac and Sam.
Jodi is not afraid of leftovers. :)
Raleigh Adventure (Friday)
As we did last year for the 4th of July weekend, Steve and I flew to Raleigh, NC to see Jacqueline & Jason on Thursday.
Somehow we pulled off three nights in a row of staying up until 2a.m. That is so not normal for any of us and very impressive for Jacque considering they are expecting their second child in 10-weeks!
On Friday the boys started drinking their Bud Heavy and putting together the baby's dresser. We later decided it should be tested before a changing table is put on it :)
On Friday night the boys went to a Durham Bulls ballgame with some of the neighborhood guys, and we had a girls night.
My best friend and me...
My sister-in-law, Ann's best friend, Jodi, and me...
The Iowa girls in Raleigh.
Girls' Night Out!
As I mentioned, the boys went to a ball game and had a good time. This photo was taken after 1a.m. Tom (Jodi's husband), Sal and Steve. Sal is apparently coming to live with us according to him.
