We have had a pretty busy last two weekends in the Kickert household. Two weeks ago we headed to Somerset to celebrate Ben’s 10 year high school reunion. It is hard to believe that he graduated ten years ago and this time next year I will be celebrating my ten year reunion. To celebrate they had a quant picnic at a park where everyone brought their spouses and kids. They had a inflatable water slide set up for the kids and delicious food to munch on. We even got to enjoy the swings in between the rain showers. Mikayla had a blast playing in the puddles and observing all the new faces at the picnic. Even though I knew only a handful of people it was still fun.
**Sorry, I didn’t get any shots of the reunion! I was too busy chasing Mikayla around and Ben was too busy socializing!
We went from there to Louisville where a dear friend of mine from college got married. It was sort of a college reunion because so many of our friends from WKU were there. I got to see my bible study leader from college (who made a huge impact on my life), who recently found out she was pregnant and of course a lot of the Bemis HOT-ties, as Merideth called us! Plus a few other faces from my WKU days. The strange thing was that most of us had kids in tow, kids at the sitter or kids on the way. Crazy how quickly things change!

This past weekend was a little bit more slow paced as we stuck around BG. On Saturday, Mikayla and I headed to the farmer’s market for a yummy pancake breakfast and to pick up veggies for the week. In the afternoon we joined our friends Lara and Lylah at the park for a picnic and some fun in the sun. It was HOT, but the girls were troopers and played hard. I think the mommies were ready to go before they were!
Such a big girl on the merry go round!
Ahoy matey!
Two sweaty babies, looking more like big girls than babies!
“Come on Lylah, it’s really fun in here!”
My attempt at a self-portrait, also unsuccessful!
After church on Sunday, we spent another day in the sun watching the BG Hot Rods. Again, Mikayla had a blast (as she does most places) watching people and running around. I think she takes after her Great Pops in his people watching!

Chilling at the game!
All in all it has been a busy, but fun last couple of weekends. This weekend will be the same as the Altmaiers travel to BG AND I get an extra day off of work. Thank you Labor Day!!
Thank you for the presence you have in my son’s life. When I looked at the photo of you and Joe with Carter at the game I am filled with joy by the strong men and women God has put in our children’s lives. Not to sound cheesy, but it really does take a village. Oh yeah, thanks for the homeschooling lesson on brewery’s and moonshine. I’ll check it off the list.
