Jessie's Bachelorette Party

What a party!  We met in Dubuque to celebrate Jessie's upcoming wedding.

The day started with a wine tasting at Stone Cliff.  (Brenda was having so much fun she couldn't even keep her eyes open!)

As you can see, we all wore pink to celebrate Jess!

Loras gals! Blurry, but cute!

Here's the entire gang! She's a popular girl, that Jessie.

After wine and some supper, we ran back to the hotel for a quick dessert....

... which quickly lead to some lovely harmonies via our beer bottles.

And some jello shots!

Next, we hit the Dubuque bars.  Erin crashed the party and joined us for awhile!

And, of course, a Loras reunion wasn't complete without an appearance by the angry panthers.

Josh & Jessie's New House

Jessie & Josh have a new house and we got a tour!

Obviously, it would have been really great if I had taken a bunch of pictures of their adorable house/yard/neighborhood.   Instead, I just took a bunch of pictures of my kids and whoever happened to be holding them at the time.  (Sorry, bad habit I have!) 

I can show you one thing... the playset.  The kids give it a TEN!

They also give the company a TEN.  (Thank you to Josh, Jessie, Big Mariah & Gabe for playing!)

Here is the one picture of the "house" I took.  The girls loved their own table in the sunroom! I should've also taken a picture of the amazing food we ate! Delicious!

The only glitch in our night was a minor fall Trace took off the deck.  That boy needs to learn how to walk.  He's such a baby.  Thanks to Jessie for cleaning up the large gash in his forehead.

Mariah & Mariah.

The entire gang! What a great picture and a great night!

Jessie & Josh should probably post pictures of their house for those who haven't seen it yet! Am I right? Am I right?
