A fun fall day


This past weekend Jackson and Izzy came to spend the day with us so Jesse and Jeremy could go get some Christmas shopping done a.k.a. a day away from children. They do it far less than I do so when Jesse asked if the kids could come over it was my pleasure. Plus, I love to have them. Izzy is so good with Madi, they could sit and do crafts for hours and the boys had fun outside with the cats and dragging around their pretend fishing poles. We took a walk down to the farm and went for a 4 wheeler ride hoping we would see a deer - no luck but everytime they saw weeds laying they went crazy saying "we must have just missed some deer taking a nap!" I love the imaginations of these guys!!!

A Beautiful Day

This past weekend I had the honor of being a part of a very special day for Tina and Nathan. The fun started on Friday when Tina, Carrie, Jesse, Annette and I went to Buffalo to have manicures and pedicures. I think we need to do this more often, not just because someones getting married. It is fun to have a girls day out!




After pampering ourselves we stopped at the Mill Creek to have lunch and some killer bloody mary's. From there it was to the hall to help decorate and then to the church for rehearsal and over to Dad's house for the grooms supper. It was a fun day but I was happy to get home and go to bed. I was exhausted...I can only imagine what the Bride to Be felt like.



The following day we were to the salon by 8:30 for the girls to do their magic on us. I think they did a beautiful job. Tina looked absolutely amazing!!! To me she looked like a princess about to marry her prince. From the salon we headed to the church for pictures and before you know it we were patiently waiting for it to be 3:30. It is amazing how quickly that time goes. The ceremony was beautiful, the music wonderful and the Bride and Groom absolutely amazing!





After the ceremony it is was off to Silver Lake for the reception. The decorating was very beautiful, the food was wonderful and of course the music was great!!!Everybody danced the night away and before we blinked it was time to go home. Time to take the dancing shoes off, retire the dress and close our eyes to think about the amazing day we all just shared together. Congratulations to Tina and Nathan Thompson!!!
