This past weekend we went to Sioux City for my side family reunion. We haven't had one since 1991! So it was nice to see everybody again. We left town about 1pm on Friday. We did some shopping Friday afternoon because 1st grade starts in 3 days!!!!!!! I can't believe she is going to be in the first grade but we will get back to that later! Saturday we went to the reunion with the lovely heat index of 115! UGH! So we spent about 3 hours there and went back to the hotel with the pool! 115 is a lot more bearable when you are in the pool! Sunday we went and had Abby's pictures taken for ther 6th birthday(which I also can't believe is coming up!) They turned out so cute. I can't wait to get them back. I found a cute speghetti strap haiwaiian slip dress with matching flip flops. We also left all her hair down which we normally don't do.

So anyway, Tuesday night we go to meet her teacher and see her classroom and Wednesday she starts school! I can't believe summer is almost over and that I am the mother of a first grader! What happened to my baby? We still need to decide what we are going to do for her birthday. We need to get those decisions made in the next week. UGH Life is just so hectic right now!

Anyway I will post some pics.... The first ones are of my niece Lauren and her "twin" My 2nd cousin Troy and his wife had Chloe 2 months after Lauren and I swear they could pass as twins! And considering both babies look like their Mom's really make you wonder!

Chloe

Lauren
And both of them in white sun dresses!

Now some of Abby...
