Happy Birthday Missy Lauren!

Today is Lauren's 24th Birthday! How on earth did this happen so quickly? Wish I could be with you! I love you!

Mexican Potluck - Continued

From the looks of things and the sound. . . I think the kids had a great time.

Chloe (Jessica's daughter) and Sheryl

Allen, Ian, Jessica and Linda dig in.

Sick Kid and Cookout

Our neighborhood Bible Study had a Mexican Potluck at the Sheryl's home last Saturday night. It was a beautiful night in a beautiful back yard and TONS of food. Why was I worrying about that? It seemed to me that everyone had a great time. We had about 38 in attendance and there were at least 3 families that couldn't be there. Oh my goodness! We would've had almost 47 if everyone could've come! Linda and Angie and Jessica's lovely Horchata drink up on the counter. Ray's talking in the background.

Regina, Renee and Greg.

Larry and Ray.

Ignacio (Nacho) and Paige

I know you can't tell by this picture, but Rachael was very sick and I had to take her to Urgent Care the next day. Puppies always make her feel better. She ended up having a kidney stone and infection and is on 3 medications. One seems to be making her have TERRIBLE mood swings, which thankfully, we are able to laugh about. I have more pictures. Maybe tomorrow.

Wedding Preparations

We're getting excited about DD1's wedding coming up in September. This is DD2 who is the MOH trying on her dress. Slung over the bannister is a sweater that I knitted for her to wear after the ceremony. Below are the invitations I'm using for the bridal shower. Yes, they are a completely different color palette. But, aren't they cute?!

These beautiful cards come from from Pepperina Press, http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13229138. I obviously don't know how to do this right yet. All her cards are so great. She was a big help and went way beyond by getting these printed while she was waiting for her baby to be born. I think he was even late.

We'll keep you posted on more preparations soon.

Problem Is. . .

So, I've been instructed to add to this blog. Problem is. . . the majority of my pictures are on my other computer that died last night. Looks like the mother board has blown for the 2nd time. This is a major problem at our house. This is one of my most current pictures on this computer. It is of a visit from my Mom and Aunt Jeanne in April. I picked them up at the San Diego Airport, went to visit Rachael and then took a stroll through Balboa park. It's a beautiful place! So from left to right, Mom, Rachael, Me and Aunt Jeanne.

Happy Fourth of July!

Happy 4th of July to everyone! Don't you just love the Minnie Mouse slippers?

It's Hot Here!

This little darling has got the right idea. I think she'd like to be playing in a kiddie pool about now. She's working hard and going to school and planning her September wedding. Which is actually what I'm working on at the moment. (I know you can't tell). You can see she had "style" even then. She's going to be a beautiful bride. Love you Missy! I just thought I'd add a water related post since it's so darn hot out here.
