Our weekend (Part 1)

CC's swimming lessons began this week! While she is having her lesson, Emory and I are swimming as well!
This little one LOVES the water. she is going to be a little fish, just like her sister. This the first time that Emory has been in the water where she knows what is going on. She kicks all around and really like going under.

The Chick-Fil-A close to our home has a great play area, which is perfect for raining days!

hopefully when swimming lessons are over, Christian can swim without her swimmies!

We have officially entered summer break! This past week, we have had swimming lessons, library summer reading parties, and lot of outside playing. We've been just as busy this memorial weekend with fun activities...pictures to come soon.

What did you do tonight?

We reenacted Shanna's wedding!

Christian put on a swimsuit and one of my swim wraps as a veil with a blue cup as the flowers.
I threw random toys and candy at them while they walked

Christian must have remembered doing this BECAUSE......

she wanted to sit in a chair with her 'veil' over the chair and Daddy to get under her veil. (I almost wet my pants laughing so hard every time I see this picture. She was so serious about the whole wedding).


This video is of the vows. She took this very seriously. She even handed me a handful of sour gummy worms to throw at them! I might just have to show these pictures at her wedding!!!

Having fun....

The big day

I think CC is going to have a career that deals with wedding 'something'. She LOVES anything and everything that has to do with weddings. The second she laid eyes on Shanna, she gasped and said "Ohhhhhh". She also was obsessed with making sure Shanna's veil was straight and perfect
Isn't she the cutest flower girl EVER!

Don't they look adorable.

CC kept following her around- just wanted to stand next to her.

CC found the dance floor and wouldn't get off!

how cute!

My BFF, Ellen, who I rarely see, but LOVE it when I do! We just pick up where we left off.

Finally a picture of the two of us!

My parents and me

Not only have Shanna and I been friends for 24 years, we also worked together at the same school. Doesn't this look like a fun group to work with?!

All of us together drinking our cosmos!

Let the festivities begin!

14 bridesmaids makes for a fun bridesmaid's luncheon!

Shanna and Jason

Christian and Jase were the flower girl and ring bearer- they both did fantastic

All the bridesmaids played the 'shoe game' with Shanna and Jason. They each had one anothers shoe while we ask questions, they hold up the shoe that fits the question best.

My great friend since second grade, Shanna, got married this weekend. It was the so fun to see my friend of 24 years get married to a wonderful man. They are absolutely perfect together.

Whoooo's turning ONE?!

I took the napkin to Edgar's and they made the cake and baby smash cake look just like it!

I made different collages of of her first year of life. one of her first few days in the hospital, one with our family, one with her and her Gigi, and one with just our family.

The middle is a Lollipop bouquet. I had little owl lollipops made for everyone to take home with owl tags that said "Thanks for making Emory's first birthday a HOOT!"

What a cute pinata, huh?!

This is a collage of a picture from each month of her life. I bought a 12 x 12 canvas and glued the picture to it.

collage of her newborn pics.

This was right before she almost burned her finger! Thank goodness for Daddy's quick reflexes!

CC wore the same romper, hat, and bib for her first birthday.

Look at Georgia and Emory trying to join in the fun!

Emory's little friends!

I wish I had enough space to put all 150 pictures that I took to try to get a good shot.:):)

We celebrated Emory's first birthday the night of CC's first dance recital. Everything turned out perfect. The weather was perfect and Emory had a blast. We have such wonderful friends and family that helped make Emory's first birthday so special! Thanks everyone!
