It's been a really fun month

Megan has been doing so many new things. It's been so much fun watching her. Tonight she got a little out of control with the spaghetti... she loved it. Needless to say her Daddy had to give her a bath after this dinner. The month has been rough... with me being sick for almost two weeks. We did have a lot of fun highlights. Janeen's wedding was really nice... see the wedding post. Mother's day was special... but it was the evening I got sick for the second time. Megan was an angel throughout the sicko phase... Daddy was a huge help too. Everybody had to pitch in. Special thanks to Kevin, Gammie, Nana, Aunt Steph, Linda... and lots more. Megan's biggest news... is her "letting go". She is now up to 9 steps. We hope you enjoy our snapshots... she is so much fun!



"can I get some seconds... please?"


Look who has a big girl seat! She seems to like facing forward.



Megan loves playing with her buddy Evan. Little Isaac came over too... but he is still too little to play. Megan actually tried to drive her little mermaid car over the top of him a few times. Oops!


They shared some cheerios for a snack... Evan snatched a handful of hers when she wasn't looking. She thought it was funny.


"Daddy... where are you?" We've been blocking Megan in the living room... I think it's so funny to watch her peeking around the corner. She is always trying to escape!


It's safe to say... she loves her toys! What a goofball!


Those little eyes are the best! She is such a sweetie!

Uh Oh....
Somebody got stuck trying to escape...


I couldn't resist taking this one... she was really mad when she got stuck. The good news is... she hasn't tried to get out that way again!


Happy Mother's Day!


We had a lot of fun watching Megan play with cousin Olivia like a big girl. They were actually sharing pretty well. That's Megan's new thing... she likes to hand you everything!


We are looking forward to a nice beach weekend. It will be nice to get away.

"Baby Steps"

Megan is finally letting go...
Monday night was her first trip across the living room. She gets pretty proud of herself! Today... she took 7 steps... it won't be long before she's really walking around.

Janeen's big day is finally here! It's hard to believe that lifelong friends... aka the Brendy's... are having another wedding! Now they have both beautiful girls married off. It was an honor to be able to help pull this big event off. Everything was perfect.

(last minute pic... before the dress goes on)

Hair, makeup, nails, tears... now she's finally ready!






Janeen's dress was absolutely gorgeous!

"Timeless"
















"All grown up... and dressed for the time of her life!"

Big sis Renae is the greatest!












"Don't even think about smudging my makeup!"


















Taylor was a great bridesmaid... a real friend for life!

You can't beat good friends!

"her lil' sis"















The florist did an awesome job. All of the flowers turned out beautiful.

Janeen went with a garden theme for her wedding. We brought in all live trees from a near by nursery. It was really enchanting. The 15 ft. maple trees topped it all off.

Each of the girls carried different flowers.

Taylor called dibs on the tulips first!

The were all absolutely gorgeous!










Renae's bouquet was a mini version of Janeen's.

She looked amazing!!!!


Renae is an awesome big sis... and Maid of honor!
















It seems like I was just taking this same picture... but Renae was the bride. Time flies! I remember Renae's wedding like it was yesterday.

I was so excited for Janeen today...

Sheri and Nae were lovin' it too!









The entire wedding party was dressed to impress! The dresses and tuxes were so classy!

"You go girls... who are we blowing these kisses to anyway?"











"... I told you the flowers rocked!"

They did a great job on the cake!

It was pretty and yummy!










Proud parents of the bride! It's finally over. Now they can sit back and relax!

Joel and Shari had a lot to celebrate today... they seemed really happy.















Let the party begin!
Time for a HITCH LINE!

The girls did a great cat walk!














Renae, Chris, Kev, and I did the "fish"...

I caught Chris... Renae caught Kev... and we switched poles.

We tried to do the wave... but we were out of practice...

It was fun all the same!







This was hilarious! Kev and Chris pulled off the Hitch reenactment nicely!

I thought somebody was gonna end up hurt...
but they were naturals!

Chris ran and slid under Kevin's legs... then they both hurdled over each other...

nicely done old fellas!







The Birkett's and my family were there to celebrate too.

Olivia was a trip all night. She loved dancing... and with everybody! She picked up some moves!

Gregg enjoyed the vittles... the food turned out really good!















Night out without the little guy!

Jen and Joel got to relax tonight...
they looked pretty spiffy too.












The reception really turned out nice. It's fun getting out of tank taps every once in a while.


















It was nice getting out on the dance floor.

"Jen and Joel were takin' it SLOW"












Weddings make me happy... I have Kev for my Hubby!

He's tough to get on the dance floor... but I love him just the same... 7 1/2 years and counting!
















Dollar Dance!

Janeen was so beautiful! She packed her little bag full of cash. I'm certain she must have made more money than Ryan... although he may have danced with more guys than her.
















Hangin' with Chris!

Kev and I are lucky to have friends who make us smile!













Girls night out!

Jen and I were happy to be here for our Nae Nae.

















Last chance to dance... before our Bean rides off a married woman.

It was a lot of fun!

Janeen has a great bro-in-law in Chris!














Ready Set Go!

Ryan could hardly wait to take her away!

Congrats again to the happy couple!











"and they lived happily ever after"

Night Night!
