Family Fun

We decided to head up to Jackson to visit my family. I always love going there. Fortunately I have lots of family to lodge with when we visit. The first night was wonderful as my cousin's wife made us her Sicilian Sauce, love that girl. Yummy is all I can say. The next night we went to my other cousins place for a traditional BBQ. Michael Joseph really wanted to have a drink with everyone too!

Hair

Lydia and her friend Megan decided to play salon after school, this was the result. They like to accesorize.

Bridal Shower

Amy and I have been best buds since we were 4, nevermind the fact we only lived across the street from each other for a few years. I am fortunate to be the Matron of Honor at her wedding in Augusta, Georgia this October. When I recieved the invite for the shower I thought how fun it would be to surprise her. Thanks to my wonderful husband and awesome dad the trip happened. I left Friday afternoon and returned Sunday afternoon. Not only did I surprise Amy, but her mom Miss Mary Lou drove down from Maryland the day before and I got to surprise her too. It was a fast 48 hours but so much fun! She has a wonderful family and is also getting a wonderful one as well. Her sweet Mother-n-law to be Lisa is the most gracious person I've met and was so sweet to help me get to and from and I was able to spend a lot of time with her. Can't wait for the big day in a month!! She also has many nieces, but this little cutie pie has an important job, she is the Flower Girl! Both Mary Lou and I agree Amy has a wonderful support system and friends there in Augusta, Georgia. I also learned at the shower that "It's a Southern Thang" goes a long way. In another post I'll have to describe a pastry and the stories the ladies shared. Too funny, for now Michael Joseph wants his mama!

Happy Birthday Bree!

Another fun b-day! The girls went to Tsunmai for dinner and then back to the house to celebrate with a Strawberry Shortcake Icecream Cake from Leatherbees!!!

First day of School

Lydia and Megan on their first day of school! I forgot to take pictures last year. Oooops

Labor Day 2010

Of course we were at Jordanelle our little family of 5 (6 if you count Kaiser). We never actually made it to the boat, but we had lots of fun at the park, roasting marshmellows, and riding bikes. Lydia has some strong little legs, how she keeps up I don't know.

My kids are cute!

Yes, everyone says that about their children. I've always said Lydia will not do gymnastics, but the kid has to be a natural who does front flips and back flips when they're 4? She also has a thing with the camera. Always striking a pose! And David likes it too!
