Fall Classic and Shooting a Wedding!

I missed last week!  It's been super duper crazy busy around here!  Two weekends ago, it was the annual Fall Classic - Northwest vs. Pitt State at Arrowhead Stadium.  This is always a fun game to go to!  Mom and Dad came down for the game.  They stayed with us Friday night.  Saturday we went to Oklahoma Joe's for lunch to celebrate Matt's birthday, then we headed to the stadium.  Matt stayed home with the boys.  The game was supposed to start at 4:00.  Of course it was raining pretty good much of the afternoon.  It ended up starting about 50 minutes late, then after it got started the rain started up again, so there was another delay!  In the end it was all worth it, because THE BEARCATS WON!!!  It was an amazing game!

This kid is SO HAPPY...ALL THE TIME!!!

No worries...he is well supported!  He thought this was hilarious!

Sunday we all went to church and our plan was to go to the pumpkin patch.  However, becuase of all of the rain Saturday, we knew it would be awful muddy, so we chose not to go.  Ended up it was good we didn't go...mom started feeling bad when they were ready to leave.  She said her side hurt bad.  I thought maybe she had a little stomach bug, until she said it was her side.  They took off, but about 15 minutes later dad called and said they were headed back...mom wasn't feeling any better and didn't want to be riding in the car!  So she came here and still didn't get better.  I was out and about running errands, and Dad called again to say he wondered if we should take her to the hospital.  (Remember two years ago?  Kidney stone?).  I was sure it was another kidney stone.  We took her to the ER.  She was in a LOT of pain.  Sure enough, it was a kidney stone!  Last time she had one 6mm.  This one was 3mm.  They gave her meds, and sent her on her way.  We had houseguests for one more night!  I've talked to them a couple of times this week and she says she's feeling good!

Focusing on coloring!

Happy baby boy

This weekend was my dear friend Jamie's wedding!  She asked me to make cupcakes for the reception and take pictures.  I was happy to help out!  So Friday I baked the cupcakes...Saturday I frosted them.  We ended up with 99 cupcakes!  Weird number, I know...but that's what we had.  Saturday I shot her wedding...first one ever...and I sure wish I was better at it!  I had a lot of fun, and could actually see myself doing that as a side job...but have so much more to learn!  It was an honor to be a part of their special day!  Jamie and I were roommates at NW and I'm so glad we've remained close!  She now lives in Platte City, so I love it that she's close to me!  It was great to see her family, they are amazing as well.  I wish she and Brian the best always!  (And my assistant was great...thanks honey for following me around and helping with all the equipment)!  She has the memory card with all of the pictures right now...I'll post a few pictures when I get it back!  (Jamie - no hurry)!
