Friday afternoon the kids and I loaded up the van and left for Ankeny to visit my brother and sister in law. My brother was having a surprise graduation party on Saturday. After lots of hard work he is graduating from college. When we got to town we stopped by Emily's salon and she cut Emma's hair. I had tried to fix Emma's hair after the last hair cutting incident but it was starting to look like a mullet. Emily was able to even it out and make it look pretty cute. She also had a talk with Emma about how Auntie would be more then happy to cut her hair anytime she wanted. She didn't need to take matters into her own hands:) After the kids went to bed that night I got to enjoy some Emily time while Bryan "raided". I had so much fun looking at fabric, quilting magazines and eating our favorite snack (popcorn with m&m's and Pepsi). I wish that we didn't live so far away from each other. Although, it does make me cherish the time we do have together all the more.
Saturday morning came and it was raining. We ended up having to spill the beans to Bryan about the party. We decorated the house and got all the food ready. We had walking tacos for everyone which was new to me. Basically you take a small bag of Doritos and crunch it up. Then in the bag you add the taco meat, lettuce, sour cream and salsa. Mix it together with your fork and...there you have it, a walking taco. Dawson had convinced some of the guys at the party to join in a game of baseball. He had a blast playing baseball with Uncle Bryan and all of his buddies. That night at bed time Dawson thanked God for having such a fun time playing baseball with the guys. It was sweet. As a graduation present Emily had Dan make a Huskers bags set. The kids actually helped Dan build and paint it. We pulled them out at the graduation party and had fun trying it out. FYI, Dawson is way better at bags then I am:)

She was so proud of her work.
