Labor Day Weekend Fun!

Last week was a VERY long week for us! Wednesday, Sept. 2nd, we headed to KS and drove all the way to Burdett to stay with my dad and Brenda. We had a REALLY nice visit, but the next morning had to head out early to make it to Kansas City in time for Tyrun Flaherty's wedding rehearsal. Tyson was the best man for the wedding. Tyrun is one of Tyson's best friends and they roomed together for a year at K-State. Because we are now on "baby time" we got to our hotel in time to have 30 minutes to get ready for the wedding rehearsal. The next day I spent the day with Kali and Ryan and Becca Zecha who were also in town for the wedding. Tyson had to help Tyrun with stuff, so Becca and I decided to make the most out of our time with Kali and take her to her first MALL! Poor little girl must be a daddy's girl because she slept through the whole experience...mom had to make up for it :)

The wedding was Friday night and went wonderful. We even had Kali "dancing". I don't think she was a fan of that though. Saturday we woke up early and headed out to see Matt, Adraina, Maddie, and Kynzie! They were in town for a Royals game the night before, so we met them at their hotel. Again, we are on "baby time" so we were late! We only got to see them for about 30 minutes, but it was SO much fun! I can't imagine what trouble those 3 girls will be when they grow up! :) I think for punishment Adraina and I will have to take them shopping to learn them a lesson...

Then it was off again to see Tyson's side of the family. We went to Peculiar, MO to visit his Aunt Lori and Uncle Bruce. We also got to see his Uncle Steve, Aunt Barb, cousin Hannah, cousin Sarah and other cousin Sarah :), Bryce (brother) and Sarah (sister-in-law), baby Adam!, Debbie (mom), and Cassie (sister). Wow, hope I didn't forget anyone by accident! Well forgetting everyone all together, all we cared about was getting those two baby cousins together!! ha!

Adam was just perfect and precious...it was so much fun having Kali and him next to each other! They are both the cutest babies ever! :) That night we spent the night in St. Joe, MO with Bryce, Sarah, and Adam. The next day we headed back toward home and stopped in Topeka for a couple of minutes to see one of my best friends Mary and her husband Evan! I think Evan's hands were the size of Kali! Wish we would have gotten a pic of that! ha! Then we headed to Manhattan to gather $300+ of K-State gear for Kali, Tyson, and I :) We met Lisa and Walter McNeil for lunch (some of our good friends for years). It was SO nice to see them and show Kali off...like she is a trophy or something? ha!

Then it was back to Larned to visit grandpa Bob one last time before heading back to CO. Even though it was a FAST visit, Kali loved every minute of it! Then it was to Burdett to see Grandpa Coco and Grandma Brenda for a quick minute (Grandma Brenda had to give Kali the CUTE clothes she bought for her that weekend).
We made it to Garden City that night and spent the night before heading out Monday morning to drive the rest of the way home to Monte Vista. I am SO glad to be home and I think Kali and Tyson were too! No more traveling for a long time...lets hope!
