more GREAT weather & another GREAT weekend!
the wild roses in our backyard are in full bloom
the kiddos & i attended kelly & chris' wedding (curtis was working) - very cool, unconventional wedding - the bride is from my hometown & the groom, from new zealand....the ceremony was in our church, the entire bridal party was barefoot (including the adorable flower girl & ring bearer), the bridesmaids sang the couples' song a cappella, the bride's brother played a song on his guitar that he wrote for his big sis, both sets of parents read scripture....it was so sweet!
me & the kiddos waiting for the ceremony to begin
at the reception - in the bride's parent's back yard
jaden took this pic of me :0)
chris & kelly cutting the cake - they loved it!
after the wedding, we went by nana & grandpa's to try out yet another new toy! since the last go-kart he just bought was too big for the girls (and my nephew who's also corinn's age), grandpa went and bought another one - even smaller & this one seats 2! boy, he sure knows how to spoil his grand babies!
playing dress up with the new cheerleader outfit she bought with her own money!
sunday morning coffee & a game of Guess Who? i LOVED this game as a kid...it's so much fun teaching my kids to play! btw - the girls' "coffee" is really just coffee flavored, sweetened milk....they LOVE taking sips of my coffee & i've convinced them that this diluted version is just as good! ~lol~
more go-kart riding at nana & grandpa's after church
and eating fresh asparagus out of their garden....corinn is my veggie nut!
more chalk fun at home that evening
this says "VASS" - gabrielle has circled & labeled the potted plant as a 'vase' - it was my mother's day gift from her, but she still insists on caring for it & taking it outside regularly for fresh air & sunshine :0) soon, we'll transplant it (and the ones that corinn & jaden gave me) into our flower bed!
here she wrote "NOASILD" - which is supposed to say 'no ants allowed'
i LOVE it! not only that my 5 year old, pre-k student is sounding out words & trying to create sentences....but that she's letting the ants in our backyard know to stay away from her drawing area! ~lol~
a pose on Memorial Day in front of the roses
the view on our drive back to west virginia to spend the day at my aunt's house for a cook-out
gosh, i love living in the mountains! (those dots in the field are sheep)
curtis did all the grilling while the other men watched (chicken, burgers, dogs - yummy!), the kids (i think there were 11 total there) played outside with water guns & us ladies had some cocktails & tried to stay cool (and forgot to take pics ~lol~)....can u believe how hot it got yesterday?! in the high 80s here!
the girls with autumn - a friend of the family
we stopped by mindy & mark's on our way home to visit the new baby....molly kate is 3 weeks old today & still so tiny!
mindy doesn't like her pic taken - this was the best i could do ;0)
we're all back to work/school/daycare today, after the long, lovely weekend....in the car this morning, jaden & gabrielle asked me how many more days of school are left! since when do 1st graders & pre-schoolers count down till summer time?!
btw - only 8 more days to go! ;0)

Another fabulous weekend:) Your friends are so blessed to have such a talented cake decorator! HEE!

wendy - thx, sweet!
Oh my goodness, so many great pics in this post! I love the one of the four of you before the ceremony. And I absolutely love the landscape shots you took on your way to WV. *Sigh* it makes me miss home in the good ole Shenandoah Valley! Molly Kate is so precious!
