Toy Story 3 with the Troesters!

Movie Matinee Day!  Yea!  Today we went to the movies to see Toy Story 3(D) with Anna and Ben.  The movie was really really good.  It actually made me a little teary eyed.  I'm not going to lie.  And who would have thought that would happen? Certainly not me.  I ate too much movie popcorn, pretzel bites with cheese and soda.  I have to say the thought of movie snacks makes me sick so we'll see how long that lasts.  Lela looked absolutely adorable in her 3D glasses.  Ben was upset his weren't smaller like Lela's. We all laughed out loud several times and just had a great time all the way around.

Lincoln, NE Reception

So Anna and Ben had a Lincoln Reception for all their guests that couldn't make it to their wedding in IL.  I have to tell you they packed the house.  I was kind of shocked that so many people were able to make it to Lincoln that were unable to make it to Quincy.  It made it a lot of fun to see such a good turnout.  Although their wedding night reception in IL was the real deal and much more fun I can't complain about this Friday night reception- it was fun, too!  We danced the night away.  Here is a snapshot of Becca and me that I took with Becca's point and shoot.

Mr. and Mrs. Ben Troester, June 12, 2010

Congratulations, Anna and Ben!!!  :D :D :D  May God bless you with a wonderful life full of happiness, laughter and love.

I had a BALL at this wedding.  I think we all did.  It was a beautiful ceremony, gorgeous reception and an evening full of laughs and lots of dancing.  Here is an image of the beautiful couple.

Anna and Ben's Rehearsal Dinner

My sister Anna is getting married tomorrow!!!  I am so excited for her and her fiance, Ben.  We are in Quincy, IL, my hometown this weekend and tonight was the rehearsal dinner.  Ben and Anna decided to have their get together at Upper Morman Park and it was a very relaxed and fun evening.  Here is a photo of my husband, Steve, and Anna from this evening.  He is very happy for my little sis.

Goooooooo 'Skers!!!

So, Becca and Ben were making a trip to Husker Hounds.  Today we celebrated Becca's birthday and Anna and Ben pretty much hung out all day.  Ben and Becca decided a little shopping was in order.  I bet they just love seeing people like these two walk through the door at that store.  I *had* to snap a quick photo of the two diehards on their way out. Ridiculously funny, if you ask me!

Anna's Babyshower

Today we went to Lincoln, NE to my sister's babyshower.  Kendra and Amadeus rode with me so that I did not have to make the trip alone.  I enjoyed the company.  The shower was nice and Anna received a ton of great gifts.  I spent the majority of time with Imagene recording the event in photographs.  Here is one I thought I would share with you.

Sundays Are Family Days

I enjoy Sundays with my family.  We try to make it to church regularly.  Sometimes we are better at it than other times. :)  This is a photo of Steve carrying Lela into church.  Becca is slightly ahead of him.  She is carrying her new purse that Lela picked out for her for Christmas.  Sundays are our 'lazy days'.  It just happens this Sunday Anna and Ben will be coming over for linner (sort of like brunch only lunch + dinner = linner.  Admit it, linner is more fun to say than 'late lunch' or 'early dinner').  We are going to have Anna's favorite: fried chicken, mashed potatoes and other calorie filled, fat packed, scrumptious food that is nothing short of yummy.  I better get to cooking!
