Memorial Day Weekend Recap!!

Shaking it up this Tuesday!! Doing a Weekend Recap!
 
Tyler and I had a fun yet fast Memorial Day Weekend :)
 
We spent the majority of the weekend with Tyler's Brother Nick, our sister in law Brooke and our energetic niece Allie. 
 
We arrived in Lincoln Friday Night and enjoyed a dinner out. Then hit the hay and prepared for our busy Saturday!
 
Tyler's Cousin Karli graduated from High School on Saturday so we headed to the Omaha Civic Center to watch the ceremony. Congrats Karli!!
 
The excitement of the day was only just beginning....
 
Tyler, Nick, and I left the civic center and headed to our parking space...little did we know what was waiting for us!
 
 
Color Run Participants....blocking Nick's Truck in.... :( EEKK!
These are a few snapshots I got from my window...as we waiting nearly an hour sitting in the truck to make it out through a small opening in the race aka...slow walker people!

 
There were fabulous costumes esp this Mario :)
 
Nick and Tyler contemplate how the h*ll we are gonna get out of here!
 
FYI there were no signs or barricades warning us of a race...the streets were completely clear and calm when we went into the graduation....
 
 
So...about 50mins into our wait a nice cop proceeds to tell us he will help us get out so that we are not late to pick Allie/Brooke up form the children's museum.....and we couldn't miss Karli's grad lunch!!
 
Well needless to say the cop said go one at a time....and well Nick went two at a time and jumped the gun which led to the police officer screaming at us! That we can't follow directions and that it make sense because we were Jayhawk fans.
 
Okay yelling at us because "as Nick says he got a little excited and took off" due to a big gap that could clearly fit two cars not just one....but we draw the damn line at calling us Jayhawk fans!! WTF! There was a powercat sticker on the back window...so either the cop was trying to be funny or he can't tell the damn difference between a Jayhawk and a Powercat!
Hey we made it out...that's all that matters LOL!
 
We made it to Karli's grad lunch at a restaurant Tyler and I have never been to called Spaghetti Works! Delicious! Thanks to Teresa and Tim :)
 
We snapped a photo of all the Ward cousins:
 
Everyone in the photo's last name is currently Ward! Very Cool!
 
We headed back to Lincoln and capped off the night with a minor league baseball game featuring the Lincoln Salt Dogs! Very Fun!


Allie LOVED Aunt Monica's popcorn! She went toe to toe with me on how much each of us ate....so much popcorn for such a tiny girl! Allie also loves seeing pictures of herself! So we turned the iphone towards her and snapped a pic :)
 
 
Colby Ridge Popcorn is VERY Delicious!!
 
Sunday and Monday we spent working around the house cleaning and doing LOTS of Laundry!!
That junk sure piles up quick....
 
Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!

Totally Digging it Tuesday!! Plus a little of lately :)

OMG!! I am SO sorry!! I have disappeared from the blogging world!! It has been super crazy busy around here....
 
Where to begin!
 
What I am digging this Tuesday!
 
That we officially completed ALL painting on our house this weekend and only have a tiny bit left on the shop. YAY!! So done with all this darn painting yet so happy with the result!
 
I am digging that I believe the horrible storms have passed (at least for now) and I can set my extra large Gnome out in front of our house!
 
Isn't he fabulous?!?
 
I am also loving our newest outdoor décor item!! Our front porch light...It is wilderness themed and we both LOVE it!
 

 
We purchased it from Menards :)
 
Besides working on our house we have spent our recent weekends (and our upcoming one a well) at graduation parties!! The most important being for my little bother Marshall!! We had a blast seeing lots of family Saturday night!! He graduated on Sunday and I am so excited for him!!
He will be attending Barber School this fall.
 
Here is a photo of him and I before the ceremony Saturday
 
We are both getting so grown up!
 
Sorry I feel like a lot more has been going on but I can't think of everything right now!!
 
I will try to keep up on my blogging :)
 
Have a great week!

Totally Digging it Tuesday!!

Here is what I am digging this Tuesday!!
 
First off I got my hair cut and colored this evening! Yay it was looking AWFULL!
 
Now I am not one to take self photos...but here is a few pics of the cut and color...not the greatest! The light wouldn't cooperate very well :)
 
                             
 
The next thing I am digging is that it was super nice out today THANK GOD!!
 
AND I got to take my first walk/run in a brand new pair of my favorite shoe!! Asics Gel Nimbus 13 :)
 
I LOVE this shoe!
This is my third pair...all in different colors of course haha....but they have discontinued them and since moved onto the 14 version. 
However it just isn't the same...so I stocked up on 13's and I am on the last pair. Not sure what I will do from here :( but I am gonna enjoy them while they last!


Finally the food pic!! This week it is a new food find! I had heard these were delicious and they are! Plus only 70 calories per bar!
Blue Bell Fruit Bars
In Strawbery!
 
A wonderful alternative to the bowl of ice cream with caramel syrup I was eating!
 
Happy Tuesday! ;)

Throwback Thursday!

I FOUND IT!! Yay!
 
The prom photo of my parents that I said my Mom and I literally searched hours for has been found!!
 
So here it is Wamego High School prom 1985 :)
 
 
 
A photo with some of their friends! Blue was a popular color....
 
Fun Fact :)
The gentleman on the far left is a friend and former co-worker of my Dad. Almost 4 years after this photo was taken he had a son named Taylor born on the EXACT same day as me March 19th 1989! We have been friends our entire lives!
 
Now here is a photo of my parents with my little brother 27 years later at his prom this past weekend!
Teal was a very popular color ;)
 
 
In addition to my short prom themed TBT round two....I have other non prom photos to share!
 
In honor of my Papa (my grandfather....we call him Papa) coming home from Texas this weekend (he is a winter Texan and usually heads home to Wamego in May!)
 
Here are a couple of old photos of my brother and I with Papa (Cecil Manly).
 
 
Jungle Gym at the Wamego City Park...Check out Marsh's flame bandana :)

 
Be Jealous...of my Lion King shirt and my bitchin glasses!
Not 100% sure who is in the metallic blue hot pants bent over in the background! HAHA!
 
HAPPY THURSDAY! Tomorrow is FRIDAY! AMEN!

Totally Digging It Tuesday....a day late!

Okay...okay I am a day late! But here is what I am diggin' this Wednesday :)
 
The first thing I am digging is that we are one step closer to our painting saga being over!
I am officially done with all the house window trim!
We only have the front door trim and the door itself to paint!
Now the shop is another story...still lots to do oh well I still feel accomplished:
 
 
Example of my work!
 
The next thing that I am totally DIGGING is my new phone!
I upgraded this weekend to an Iphone 5 YAY!
So far I LOVE it!
I had an older droid smart phone so I am amazed at how flawless this new phone runs!
 
 
 
Finally...Must have a digging it food photo!
Since the weather was AMAZING last night Tyler an I couldn't resist sharing a cookie dough cyclone from Kreem Kup :) Delish!
As you can see Gypsy photo bombed!
 
 
YUM!
