Happy Graduation, Ky!

The House is Too Quiet
WHEW! What a busy last few days!
Kylie's graduation company all started arriving Friday afternoon. 4 different flights came into Bush Airport and one car load of family also arrived. Once everyone got to the house that night we grilled burgers, brats, and hot dogs. Everyone enjoyed sitting outside as it was perfect temps for the mid-west family. It was an early night as everyone was tired.
Saturday Kev and I were up early getting things done--tents up, making appetizers and Sunday's brunch, last minute cleaning, getting balloons, setting dishes out, and getting the food. Once the Krolczyk's arrived around 2:00 we brought Kylie in and played her DVD for her of all her pictures growing up. Tina did an awesome job of putting the music to the pictures. It will always be a treasured memory! By the time I got home with the fajitas, Tina and Shawn had the margaritas going. Charmion brought the cake over--so cool!
We had steady flow of guests from 4:30-7:30 and way too much food left over! We really enjoyed seeing lots of friends we hadn't seen for awhile!
Sunday we had brunch with the family and Hettiger's joined us as well. Kylie opened her gifts. Everyone was very generous to her. My mom made her a quilt from her swim t-shrits. I know Ky was looking forward to seeing how it turned out and yes, she loved it!
It was a teary-eyed time when Kylie opened her gift for Gene. Max had embroidered dish towels and pillow cases back in 1998 and had them saved for the graduation. What a special gift she'll always treasure.
Then it was time for my siblings to head back to Iowa! We did capture a quick family picture.
Then it was time to get ready for graduation, beginning with more family pictures!
The ceremony went much faster than I ever imagined, although waiting in traffic to get there was very slow! It really put into perspective just how smart Kylie is when you see her sitting in the first two rows and 700 students sitting behind her. Smart girl!
Monday morning at 5:30 Kylie left for camp. She was so excited to go and neither Kev nor I cried. We hope to see her Dad's Day weekend. Monday night Kole had a baseball game and they won 6-4.
Tuesday night Kole had a game as well and lost 5-4, but Kole made an amazing catch in left-field and had a great hit! We then went out for pizza with the Suddendorf's.
Today all the Suddendorf's headed home, Kole and Kevin are watching a high school game, and I'm facilitating a couple of online classes and getting ready to just "chill". I thought I'd enjoy these few moments of silence, but I am missing all the noise. What a great 5 days it was!

Snacks Must Be Forbidden
I'm thinking God is trying to tell me NO SNACKS FOR YOU MISSY!
Yesterday, I had a really bad caffeine headache. I wanted to avoid a Coke (although I knew that would've been an instant cure) so I opted for Reese's Peanut Butter Cup since chocolate has caffeine and I was getting some protein with the peanute butter. So, it was going to cost me $1. It would be well worth it. I slip my dollar bill in the machine, punch the code for the candy, and watch it get hung up on the metal bar that is to release it and drop it NOT hold onto it still! Hit change return--nope! BANG the machine hard--NOPE! I'm beginning to get desparate! Ann comes to my rescue and gives it just the right umph to make it fall in the bottom. 15 minutes later, caffeine headache gone!
This morning, caffeine headache returns. Decide not to test my fate again with the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, so go for the cold Coke instead. Drop my 65 cents in, hit the Coke button, and get a Dr. Pepper instead! OK, I think God is seriously telling me something!
This afternoon I am at Walmart picking up a few things and decide to visit the bakery for dessert tonight. Yes, a chocolate cake roll sounds delicious with some Blue Bell ice cream. Put them down for the cashier and she says, "Sorry, Ma'am I can't let you purchase this." I think "oh my gosh is it opened or what?" and I think "God, you are doing some serious talking to me!" Come to find out, the cashier Cheryl was just messing with me. She wanted the dessert for herself and that's why she couldn't let me purchase it! LOL!
No snacks for me tomorrow!
