Emily's party

A very simple party. Invited some friends over to swim and eat cake. We had Emily, Abbie and Ellie Drobinski, and a couple of neighbors: Gena and Lily. We ended up being out there for almost 4 hrs which surprised me, the water was freezing!!!
Emily D and Nick. They are good friends.

Abbie and Emily. BFFs

At one point no one was swimming.

Night at the Farm

So on Friday afternoon, me, mom and Heather headed out to 'the farm' in Wisconsin. We left about 2:45ish, and stopped at about 3:30 to eat. It was nice to get away from children for 24 hrs ;-)

Ginormous green bean. It was too icky to eat.

On saturday we headed into Red Wing on the way home and went into some antique shops. I really wanted these New Kids on the Block dolls but they were too expensive ;-) We got home about 4:30 on Saturday, and the kids were very excited to see me!!! Can't wait to do it again!!!

Summer Fun

FINALLY all last week it was hot enough to swim everyday!!! (Emily has the best tan lines. ha!) On Friday it was about 90 out and we had some friends over. Julie and Laura (I worked with them at the Y) and their kids. We were out for about 2 hrs, and had fun!!! Julie has 2 girls and Laura has 3 boys so it was perfect ;-)

15 yrs ago........

...this was my Target posse. The 5 of us worked together at Target when I was in high school and hung out all the time. There were a couple other guys that hung out with us too, and I don't really remember Patty hanging out doing movies and stuff. What a shock, me and a bunch of guys! I think Tony was my best friend of the group, he and I used to hang out all the time. He lives in Florida now and was up for a wedding so we all went out and had fun :o) We went to The Bulldog in Uptown for drinks and food and chit chat....and we watched the Twins actually win one! This is Jim and Tony
Robb and Me.....and Tony's head. Robb could give Jerrod a run for his money. He cracks me up!!

Tony, Patty and Robb

Jim...ha

Tony and me

Haircuts

Jacob and Emily got haircuts in the past couple weeks. I buzzed Jacob's hair, which I have never done before. This is him before (actually this was in June but it was much shaggier now!)


After.

How much does he look like his cousin now????

Emily.....pay no attention to the spaghetti in her teeth ;-)

awwwwwwwww

Haircuts

I don't have any pics yet, but I buzzed Jacob's hair last night. He looks SO different!!! He really looks like Nick now, because my mom did his a few weeks ago. I ask him "Hey! Did you get a haircut?" and he replies "Jus mike Bubba!" (just like bubba) ha ha!! He looks cute!

Prom and Senior Party 1994

I scanned some pics yesterday at Jerrod and Lindsey's. These are of prom and the senior party, 2 things everyone should experience!!! I had a blast!! My boyfriend (John) wouldn't go to prom with me so I asked my friend Billy. Here we are in front of my house.
Sarah, Josh, Chrissy, Jon, me and Billy

Dan and Michelle

We went bowling afterwards and got cold so we stole our dates jackets. And then their bow ties.

We spent the night at Chrissy's sister's house. This is the next morning.

Senior Party........this thing told me I was good at math. Whatever.

Me and Melissa. We lost touch for awhile and then she started coming to bible study and MOPS. We had Psychology together and ate lunch together everyday with Billy and his friend.

Chrissy, Me, Sarah

Sarah and me sumo wrestling HA HA!

Me and Zach. I still talk to him.

Zach's twin brother Josh. He lives in Pittsburgh now.

Missy Nelson and me. She sat behind me in every class we had together ... for obvious reasons.
