Someone had a busy day!!

Then we went to Somerset Ridge Winery.

Cass and Dylan at the winery.

After the winery, we drove straight to Dylan's football game.  

Stacey rode with us to the game and Alysha met us there and Dylan was so excited!!

Now I am ending the day by making apple toffee blondies with brown sugar frosting.

Mason sleeping on his back with his paws up.

Last week our friend Ann went to Dylan's football game and I forgot to post this picture.

Now it is time to sit and do nothing!!

Wedding Reception/Homecoming

Tonight we celebrated the marriage of Katie and Danny.  They got married last week in Breckenridge Co. and tonight they had a beautiful wedding reception outside.

The beautiful bride!!

Michael smoked brisket and pork butt for 150 people.  This was his first wedding reception that he has ever cooked for.

Tonight was also Homecoming and here is my baby girl.

She is growing up!

She went to Homecoming with 6 friends.

Tomorrow will be another fun filled day!

Happy Birthday Sheila

Tonight we spent the evening with Sheila celebrating her birthday with delicious Sangria.  Mason was even invited to come over and play with Leo and Sam.

Pete got Sheila a fire pit so Michael was nice and put it together.

Apparently, Mason did not want me in the picture.

Happy Birthday Sheila!!

Pitt State Gorillas

What a beautiful day to be in Gorilla Country!!  We went to Pittsburg, KS to spend family day at the Pittsburg State University campus.  Our first stop was at the Mall Deli which is my favorite place to eat.  Turkey on french roll with sharp cheddar and dip it in their special creamy Italian. YUMOLA

Then off to campus to see Gus the Gorilla!

Welcome to the Jungle Baby!!

SOLD OUT!  Thank goodness we ordered our tickets!

Gorilla Village

This is how we tailgate!  Dylan sitting in a lawn chair on the roof of the Tahoe.  Well, because of this we won tailgaters of the week.  We won a charcoal grill, stadium blanket, coffee mug, chair and a $50 gift card to a meat place in Pittsburg.

Since we won Michael was interviewed on the radio. 

Go Gorillas!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gorillas won 59-17

Michael and I had so much fun taking the family to PSU!!

Wine Barn and Vineyard (Guest Blogger)

Stacey Habrich here....guest blogger!

Tonight we went to Wine Barn and Vineyard!  They had GREAT wines....we tried a Chardonnay and a Rose!  Delish!  We decided that the Chardonnay was the best of the two.....AFTER having pizza and the Rose wine twice!

Mike and Nicole.....the wonderful couple!

Delicious wine!  I even bought one to stock up my wine collection!

My FIRST Jack in the Box experience......I will have to say it is the most RANDOM menu EVER.....yet delicious!  As Ann pointed out.....our food choices tonight were all over the place, pizza and wine at the winery and then tacos, hashbrowns, egg rolls, and churros to top it off!

Tacos=SO good.....yet they are the flattest thing ever! 

All in all...great night!  So relaxing and good friend time!

Life Changing Weekend

Well, we have a new addition to our family! We adopted a puppy named Mason.  He is our first pet ever!  We surprised the kids and they both cried when we brought him home.  Thanks Sheila, Pete and Katie for helping us! We love him!

I think we wore him out.

Mason

My parents also came this weekend but our plans got changed when we found out we were getting a puppy.  I did have time to take them to We B Nuts and Stuff to get some yummy snacks for Dylan's football game.  

Dylan also did his own experiment.  He popped popcorn in his homemade aluminum foil popcorn popper.  Yes, he had it over a flame of a candle.

It worked!!

What a life changing weekend!!  The kids are so excited that we finally have a pet!
