The Party Planning Committee

A few weeks after the Kentucky wedding we had a reception back home. It was a garden reception complete with five kinds of Creamies, four kinds Henry Weinhards (think root beer and cream soda), and a delicious spread of food that had you coming back for more. It took a lot of work from a lot of people but man, was it fun!

And it was all for this cute couple:

I'm a Sucker For This One

Kentucky Wedding Adventure

We made the trek to Louisville, Kentucky in the middle of June for Rob's little brother's wedding. It was the first time all of us in Rob's family had been on a trip together without our kids. We had a blast. I loved Kentucky! It was so beautiful and we had a fabulous time.

Ryan and Barb's wedding and reception were awesome. We explored downtown, ate out, laughed our heads off, snuck (sneaked?) into the hotel pool to swim after hours, saw fireflies and amazing horse farms, had an adventurous two hour taxi trip to catch an almost-missed flight, and met some wonderful people. I would go back again in a heartbeat.


The happy couple

The yummiest pork barbecue sandwiches and cornbread muffins ever. So much so that we ate there twice while in Kentucky.

Fishing!

Fishing isn't exactly fishing anymore when you take two (or three, or four) little girls but it's still fun :) Rob and his brother took our girls fishing at the dam in May and as you can see in the top picture it was FREEZING cold but they still had a ball. On Memorial Day (second and third pictures) we packed a picnic and headed to Sublett with the same brother and his family and all our kids. The weather was perfect and we got to do some much needed exploring.

Consider Yourself Warned

These next bazillion posts are from all the fun things we did this summer and are merely for posterity's sake since this blog is our family journal. So feel free to allow your eyes to glaze over and your mind to wander as I catch up on months-worth of blogging :)
