SAM telling the boys where to stand.
Surprise post by Mumzie!!!!
The bottom picture should be at the top of the post...I am trying to figure out how to do this blog thing on my own. You will have to bear with me as I learn how to upload pictures in the right order! This is a small taste of the Creation Museum.

I'll take two of these please!

Mr. M

Wedding Week: More Prep and A Cookout

Heading to the court house to get the marriage liscense



Happy


After finding out they traveled 30 min. to the wrong court house (because someone in the court house told us to go to the wrong one), we then then traveled 30 minutes back to get to the right court house!


Signing paper work


After finally getting the marriage license, we arrived home and the Love Birds worked on thank you notes! As a matter of fact, this looks somewhat familiar from about two years ago...


..in 2007 these love birds were working on thank you notes a few days before their wedding!


Thinking...


Kate packing


Daddy setting up tables


Mumzie making lemonade


Now that looks beautiful, yummy, and refreshing!


Grandpa and Great-Uncle J.


Preparation continues in the kitchen


Daddy grilling away


Nettie-Beth and Kate


Grandma and Eddy

Auntie Beth and Great-Uncle J. visiting


A spider.



Lesil: "Louisa can make it up here with a whole jar of spiders in her hands!"


"Spiders?!"

(Taken from the Sound of Music)


Opening a wedding gift from Grandma R.

Opening a very funny card from Auntie Bethie...something to the effect..


You know how everyone always ask when are you going to get married...


Now the question will be......When are you going to have a baby?? We all thought the card was a riot!!!
Mumzie with a precious little girl


A much needed sweeper!!!
