The Rest of Grandma's House

Most of these pics won't need comments... but I'm trying to get caught up so here they are: My brother Dave flew in from Florida the weekend I was in Texas and because of delayed flights, we didn't even get to see each other at all. The kids had a blast with him though! Thanks bud, hopefully I'll get to see you soon!

Kath and I went out for Mexican. Love you sis!

Grandma and her grandkids :)

Blake turned 2 while we were there. We were planning to have a party with Daddy so we just had a little celebration. Does Evan want a cupcake? :)

"I'm TWO!"

Opening some gifts.

Beautiful book about Endangered Species from Aunt Jocelyn. He loves it and so does Natalie. Thank you! :)

More to come of the past couple weeks with Brian home...

Kacie's Wedding

While I was at my parent's house, they kept the kids and I flew to Texas for my friend Kacie's wedding. There were 5 of us that lived together all through college and have remained good friends since. Our senior year, we rented a farmhouse on a cow farm so we became known as the "cowgirls" Kacie was the final one to get married and we've all been at each other's weddings over the years. Jenny unfortunately couldn't make this one but we're already looking forward to a big get-together in the future with all the hubbies and kids. That'd be so much fun! Love you girls so much! :)
At the rehearsal--beautiful bow bouquet! At the dinner... Kacie and Kim

The four of us... missed you Jenny :(

Meg and Craig.... they got married last summer. Fun to get to know Craig more... unfortunately we mostly only see each other at our weddings so we all don't know the husbands as well.

After the dinner, Kacie had one last shower. Fun times!

Wedding preparations. What a beautiful bride!

And beautiful bridesmaids! :)

Kim's husband couldn't come either so we shared a room and our (awesome) rental car together. It was lots of fun to spend time with you Kim! :)

Here comes the bride...

Mr. and Mrs. Peek!

Fun game at the reception.Congrats Phil and Kacie... I'm so happy for you guys! Thanks for letting us share your special day! Now the fun really begins. Being married is wonderful! :)

Fun in NJ!

We are in New Jersey at my parents house for awhile. The kids loving being with "Nah-maw" and "Kaf-rin" as Blake calls them. We've been having lots of fun together. I'm going to a wedding in Texas over the weekend so they'll get some extra grandparents time and I get a little break and get to catch up with my college friends. I'm looking forward to it! :) Blake loves Katherine's big mirror (for her apartment)Decided to try to start Evan on rice cereal. He was not really into it... waiting a little bit and we'll try it again. He's growing and super hungry all the time--starting to wake up at night again so I think it's definitely time!

The nextdoor neighbors have an above ground pool and invited us to play in it with their grandkids. Lots of fun!

Tried Evan in their little floaty suit thing... he loved the water!

Went to the shore for the day... it's only an hour away but there was crazy traffic and took us 4 hours to get there! But it was wonderful to be on a beach again... I miss Hawaii.

The tide was coming in at the end of the day and it made this huge wading pool in the sand. The kids loved it because they could play without worrying about waves.

Grandma and Evan

Auntie Katherine

We had a Pampered Chef party for some of my mom's friends and their kids. It was a lot of fun.

You were supposed to use the cutters to cut out jigglers... Natalie and Blake definitely liked this part... they devoured all the jello!

Grandma's pool is quite awesome but now that the neighbors have been inviting us over, it doesn't seem as fun... they're still enjoying it though.

My Dad will be home for the weekend and also my brother David is coming to visit so they should have lots of fun while I'm gone for Kacie's wedding. More pictures of that to come soon! Thanks for all your help Mom and Kath. I appreciate you!
