Labor Day weekend

This weekend was so much fun. We had our fantasy football draft on Friday night with my family. I got my O-Town boxer team all ready for the year, Mitch and I play against each other along with my grandpa and some of my aunts, uncles and cousins husband. On Saturday we had lunch with the other side of my family at my parents house. We have 5 people that all have birthday's in August so we had lunch to celebrate them all. The girls all played for a little while and of course loved the chocolate cake. Then we rushed home to get ready for a friends wedding.
The wedding was downtown Kansas City where we got to wittiness the union of Mr. & Mrs. Jeremy Wilson. The wedding was beautiful. The best part was when I had to get up in the middle of it to rush Payton and I to bathroom. Yes having a baby sitting on your lap during the wedding being quite just watching what was going on is great. It gets even better when you realize that you shirt is all wet because her diaper was leaking and it got all over me. That was the highlight. I was wearing a cream colored skirt by the way. Amy got up and followed me to the bathroom to lend a hand and get us both cleaned up. It could have been much worse than it really was, thank goodness it wasn't.
We had so much fun at the reception. The food was great, music awesome and of course it was an open bar, even better. We danced the night away and had a blast the last night that Luke and Amy were in town before they go to Florida and they won't be back until Christmas. Mitch and I even got the night off, because my parents went to the wedding also and they took Payton home with them, so Mom and Dad just got to party and have fun until the early morning.
Sunday came quickly and we went to church were we got to see Payton, mom and dad brought her with them. That was the second time that she spend the night away from us. She did great. We went shopping for a while. Payton loves to go shopping I have been making sure that she gets lots of practice so she is a pro when she older. I then go the honor or working that night. I worked overnight at the plaza, which was pretty slow because of the Holiday. While I took a short nap Monday morning Mitch took Payton over to see Grandma and Grandpa Lyman for the morning and he cut grass. Then surprised me when he woke me up and took me on a picnic for lunch. It was a beautiful day we sat under a tree and ate lunch. Then we went to Mom and Dad's house to enjoy the last day by the pool for the year. Payton took a nap and the four of just sat in the sun and visited for a while. We cooked out some hamburgers and had a nice relaxing day.
Summer is so great being outside and enjoying the nice weather it is so hard to believe that it's now September and the cold weather will soon blow in and then everyone will be inside for the winter. I am not ready for shorter days and winter coats. I enjoy seeing all the kids out in the neighbor hood playing games and going on a run with Payton. Before we know I will showing you all Payton picture in her Halloween costume.
