Wedding Season

Tis the Season for Love in the Air! 

This year has been a big year for some of our friends, they are gettin hitched!  Mike and I headed to Florida the middle of June.  Tim, one of Mike's long time friends, was married to his best friend, Sarah.  We had so much fun hanging out and we got to spend time with Mike's parents too!  They live in Florida, so we stayed with them for the weekend.  It was a beautiful wedding and very intimate, we felt so blessed to be a part of it. 

We attended the Rehearsal Dinner and then went out to a favorite hang out of Tim and Sarah's...I was a little 'overserved' that night :).  It was so much fun!  Pretty sure I cried to Mike's mom too!  haha!  We headed home late that night and I slept in on Saturday...Mike and Derek headed to hang out with Tim on Saturday at the beach before his nuptials...I continued to sleep for most the day, it was great!

Headed to the ceremony and then to the reception at a hotel on the beach...it was gorgeous.  They had a fantastic cocktail hour, dinner and dancing, and then we all hung out at the hotel pool and bar the rest of the night.  Mike raced the hotel security officer, he was 'overserved' this night :)

Anywho, it was great weekend getaway and so fun to spend time with Rick and Mel and go to the wedding. Here are some pictures from that weekend.

Mike and I at the Rehearsal Dinner

After the Rehearsal, at the Waterfront Bar...Tim and Sarah favorite hangout. I loved getting to be barefoot in the sand and enjoy my drinks.

I loved all the colorful chairs, umbrellas, and lights at the bar.  So festive...I wish my backyard looked like this!

Our view at the cocktail hour...the classic beach picture! 

Some of the yummies!  The 'B' was sooo tasty!  I took them off all the uneaten cakeballs.

Mike and Derek-Best Friends!  Derek will be getting married soon too!  Yay!

Me and the Boys

The Groom and his Groomsmen

The Boys being silly.

Mike holding his first little girl!  It melted my heart!  I can't wait till we have some of our own.  Little Miss K was so sweet and a great sport all night.  She snuggled her head on Mike shoulder and it was the sweetest thing I've ever seen.

Derek and Little Miss K

Me and My Hubby!  I love this man so much!



Kite Festival 2011

Okay, I am so so so far behind with pictures.  I only have a small small smidgen done from my Alaska Trip, but those are on the list to work on this weekend.  I'm also trying to get all my Project 365 pictures organized to post too....I finished the project the end of June!!  I can't believe it and I am so excited to get all of them posted and get my book made.

It's super steamy here in Oklahoma with no rain in sight!  I always worry about Mike working out in this heat.  It's been over 100 most days this week and there is no end to the madness according to the weather men.  It's times like now that I REALLY wish I was back in Alaska with the beautiful 60-70 degree highs for the entire summer! 

So, in celebration of the summer, here are some pictures I took at the Kite Festival.  Mom and I were out and about a few weekends back and I saw some huge kites.  So we followed the kites and found the Kite Festival 2011.  I didn't even know we had a Kite Festival, but it was so fun and we saw some very cool kites.  These people are wild about their kites too, I mean car loads and trunk loads full of kite and kite equipment.
They also had a children's place where they could make their own kites and fly them, that was fun to see what the young creative minds came up with.  Hope you enjoy the pictures and have great weekend.  For those of you in Oklahoma, stay cool!!

These little girls were so cute and loved playing with the tail on the kite.

Mom loved these Kite Men

Kite Festival 2011, I look forward to the one next year!

Introducing 'Baby C'

So, it's been just a bit since I've been on the blog.  I've been so busy the last couple of months and it's been great!  There is so much to share, but today, I am sharing a few favorites of 'Baby C'.  I went to high school with Baby C's sweet little mama.  Her and her hubby are such sweet parents and I am so excited for them as they start their journey into parenthood.  Hope you all enjoy!

He didn't want to give up his paci for too many pictures, but I think they are so cute.

He's already such a smart boy and knows the best colors! Go Pokes!

Thank you Jessica and Chris!  'Baby C' is so sweet and I am so happy for you guys!
