Saturday Dan went to help Uncle Ben & Aunt Jenn move into their new apartment - which coincidentally is closer to our house...we may have some surprise visits for them (watch out)! :)
I spent the morning getting myself and Adilyn packed up and ready for the rest of the weekend. At about 3:30pm, we headed to Blaine to get ready for the festivities. Our dear friends Tiff & Dan got married in Mexico on April 14, and Adilyn and I were both supposed to be a part of that celebration - but weren't able to attend. Saturday was the reception for their friends and family that couldn't make the trip down. I've known Tiff for a LONG time, so I was a bridesmaid and Adilyn was a flower girl. It was fun getting ready and dressed up with my little girl and some of the other ladies in the wedding. We had a lot of fun celebrating and even had a dance as a family :)
Took a couple of us to get into her dress - she wasn't too sure at first...
All dressed up - and all smiles!

Sunday brought us a whole new set of adventures...we had our first annual DUPI picnic. For those of you that don't know, the 'DUPI' is made up of about 20 of us that are all bound by the guys who lived in a Duplex during college. These guys share a bond like you have never seen - and fortunately, all of us ladies happen to get along fabulously. We have historically had a DUPI Family Thanksgiving and shared a meal together around that Holiday. I got to thinking that we go too long without getting together, so figured we could have a summer celebration as well. This year, almost everyone made it [Kevin+Amy Pieh; Brad+Lisa Madison; Josh+Ashley+Riggins Larson; Ryan+Carrie+Logan Moorlag; Brent+Amber+Charlie Gilchrist; Matt+Anna+Ben+Bob Dorweiler; Dan+Leah+Adilyn Powers]- and we met up at Como Park. It was the perfect day for a picnic - sunny and a slight breeze. As usual, the men spent their time competing in games (real and made up) while us ladies chatted and oohed and ahhed over the little kiddos. There was a lot of great food, lots of activity and some quality time with amazing friends - I am so thankful for each of them and love that we can continue to grow together (in depth and in size--couple more babies on the way this fall).
As I've said before, I have to get better at taking pictures - but here's one of the guys playing. Thankfully, Amy played photographer and got some great ones - I'll try to post a few once she gets hers out.
Needless to say - we had a GREAT weekend!
