Winning in Whitewater
January 17th & 18th

We got off to a great start with a delicious lunch though
you can tell right away we were missing two from the regular crew : (  Well, actually three. It was a Saturday afternoon so Joe was dusting furniture.

The Moser's had a pretty solid excuse for missing this get together just check out Trace's news report for the full story.

So what were we up to on this fine January weekend in Wisconsin?

Playing celebrities? No.



Petting Basil? Yes.


What really got us hopping though was all the Minute-it-to-Win-it games the Reed's had planned!

Things started out strong with some solid Junk in the Trunk action.

A blurry yet funny little video of the action : ) 


As you can see we all had our own approach : )


Next was a little How's it Hanging. We were sure lucky to have Brenda around, she had quite the knack for tying bananas on!

If I can recall correctly Megan was one of our fastest finishers!

Next, a definite crowd pleaser, Face the Cookie! How can it not be when you end up with a cookie!!


 We weren't afraid to get a little dirty for a Sticky Situation!


Some of us struggled more than others...

Keep 3 balloons in the air for 1 minute. WAY HARDER than you think!!

I can't remember... was it Josh that dominated this game? He sure looks like he has it under control!


 Or maybe it was Joe... his time doesn't count though because I'm sure he has been practicing all week.

It definitely wasn't me... 

or Megan.


A little Candy Elevator was up next!! 

Anything is fun when you have to race someone.


So what did we do next? 


Take a nap? NO, no, no, BJ! 


We finished up our signs.



And then tried our darnedest to get a decent photo!








Also, BJ won these really cool mustaches so of course we all needed to try them on. 


And well, an angry panther picture just felt right. 



 That's all I got folks. Thanks for hosting one heck of a party Brenda and Joe! The pizza was fantastic, the liquor top-notch, the games and presents outstanding!! p.s. Gabe busted out his airplane that very week. We have enjoyed some quality time flying it around the house and will most assuredly be playing with it for as long as it holds up!


xoxoxo love to you all,
Mariah

Loras Weekend #2


It was a little chilly outside, but still a perfect night on the river with friends!!

Babies Henry (11 mo.) and Gretel (8 mo.) get to know each other. 


Kiss!


Best friends, I tell you.


The babies and their mamas.


Joe got some "practice" in. 


Trace was around on Sunday as well.  He prefers playing with boys.



And now a series of pictures of people on the boat.... and Megan. 







And now a series of cute couple pictures.




And now some cute pairings.... although definitely not couples.




Another great weekend!! As always, I can't wait for our next gathering!  Great to see everyone!
