Bridesmaid Shower

On April 17th, the bridesmaids threw a shower for me. It was hosted by Alison at her house. Her mom was able to come in for the weekend to help get things ready. Everything looked good and the food was great. It was a good time!

Just sitting around chatting before eating.


Kelly and Ashley playing games.


Jess and Kelly playing games.


Alison was trying to figure out part of the gift that was given...nail clippers with a magnifying glass. Interesting right?


Laura and Sue deep in thought while playing a game.


The beginning of opening gifts. I had to display the gifts a couple times Alison was in and out of the room often.


Looking at the gift from the bridesmaids.


Still opening gifts.

Thanks so much Kelly for the long drive to stay just a couple hours. What a trooper! See you soon!

What A Weekend!

Time to head home!

Why must she always sit on me?

Are we there yet?

Just watching out the window.

What a start to the weekend. Lexi, we are assuming, must have gotten really excited and knocked over the vases with her tail or just ran through them while she was playing.

A new way of wearing the frisbee.

Cali kept trying to tell Lexi that's not how you play frisbee, but she never listened.

Still trying to figure out what to do with the frisbee.

Michael playing ball with the pups.

Cali rolling in the grass; hopefully there wasn't poop on the ground.

Lexi getting a drink from the waterfall feature for our pond.

The girls finally playing together without the wild one tied to the bush.

Lexi figuring out a way to escape the new fence.

Cali just trying to figure out where Lexi is hiding.

Yea that's right...you should be afraid of these girls!

Does it look like I would hurt a fly? Not me, but maybe my sister!

Second Bridal Shower

I was a little late putting up pictures from the second bridal shower. It was given by Aunt Joan on March 27th at Rich and Charlies Restaurant. Here are some of the pictures we took throughout the luncheon.

Aunt Joan and I.

My cousin Katie, who might as well just be my sister. Love her!

Mom and I dressed alike for the shower. No we did not plan it; that's how we were dressed when we met to ride together.

Aunt Mary, Crystal, and I.

My cousin Lori and I.

Grandma Betty and I.

Glad Aunt June was able to make it up from Florida for the shower.

My cousin Niki and I.

What a way to begin opening the gifts. If you don't know the story behind this and you want to know, just ask; its pretty hilarious.

Opening gifts with my little helper.

Mom trying to get me embarassed again.

Still opening gifts with Katie's assisstance.

Getting ready to cut the beautiful cake, if Katie and I don't slide if off.

Lexi's New Favorite Spot

I think it is funny that this dog (Lexi) enjoys taking a shower and bath with me.

Just deciding how to get into the bath.

Enjoying a drink of bath water.

Getting another drink, this time from the faucet.

Checking out the shower.

Just A Wonderful Weekend

Cali and Lexi playing out by the blooming trees.

Lexi enjoys watching out the window.

Lexi must have gotten in trouble yet again.

At first I thought Michael was playing a funny April Fools joke, but when he said he didn't do it I had to go searching for answers.

And then i found the culprit.

The girls just watching the day go by and enjoying the nice weather.
