Lfrog is 1!

Happy 1st Birthday LFrog!!!

We arrived a little earlier than everyone else so that Mr. C could help B with the grilling. When we arrived LFrog was swinging.

LFrog & Lil Miss C enjoyed lots of wagon rides while waiting for dinner.

The birthday boy!!

Lil Miss C, Grandma C & Great Grandma C. None of them were cooperating for me to snap a good picture of them all. 

Patiently waiting for someone to take her on a ride.

Unfortuanlety i didn't get to see LFrog open his presents or eat his cake. Mr. C is supposed to have taken some pictures of all of it, but i haven't been able to get them from his phone yet.

Cinco De Mayo

Happy Cinco De Mayo!!! After working a special event yesterday morning, i came home and enjoyed the evening with my lil miss and Mr. C. It was a wonderful evening to spend at home, just relaxing, unpacking, and playing.

Today Mr. C was playing in a golf tournament with his, dad and brother. So me and Lil Miss got to spend some mommy daughter time together. She was still a little mad at me for being going all week, so we enjoyed the day chilling at home and since it was in the 80-90's already at the beginning of May, we went and enjoyed Mama & Papa's pool for the first time of the season. She did great with her life jacket and being in the water. I just have a feeling she is going to be swimming pretty good by the end of the summer.

Showering my sis-n-law

After working out of town all week, I went and joined the party at AK & UB's house for my sis-n-law SB's shower.

Lil Miss C being spoiled by JS.

Playing a few games.

And of course opening all of the presents!

I was glad that i was able to attend some of the party, even though i was completely exhausted from working out of town all week I am so thankful that i was able to be there for it.

Mr. & Mrs. W

Yesterday my friend and former co-worker got married. They had an outdoor wedding and reception at a winery. It is a beautiful place. Unfortunatley for them, severe storms delayed their wedding ceremony. The beautiful bride awaiting the storms and rain until it was time to walk down the aisle.

Since it was raining, it was hard for me to get any really good pictures. But here are the few good ones i got.

Her dad giving her away.

The ceremony.

The wedding party.

Mr. & Mrs. W!!

Mr. & Mrs. G. Mrs. G was a bridesmaid and didn't know if Baby G was going to cooperate and let her be a part of the festivites until that morning.

Mr. & Mrs. C. I meant to take a picture earlier in the evening of the two of us, but with the rain i just completely forgot, so not the best picture of us.

Baby G's shower

Today at work we through Baby G a shower. I can not even put into words to express how thrilled and exicited i am for Mrs. G, Mr. G and their family. They are going to be such wonderful parents and fill this child's life with so much love. Mr. &  Mrs. G did not find out if they were going to have a little girl or a little boy, so we are all anxiouslly awaiting to find out what they are going to have. Mrs. G is very crafty and made the diaper cake at my shower, so i knew that i wanted to try and make something crafty for her shower. I found this Motorcycle Bike  on Pinterest that i thought would be something different that she might not end up with like 3 or 4 of them like diaper cakes. Mr. C even tried to help me make one of the tires, but his patience didn't last long and he gave up, mine looked better than his. :) I made a few changes from what the directions called for, i used sleepers and onsies instead of blankets and bibs, and a snuggie instead of a stuffed animal. In the end i think it ended up looking okay.

Spring Turkey Season

Spring Turkey season has opened and sadly for Mr. C i had to work this weekend so he was only able to go out very early both morning's. Luckily, just before i was getting ready to leave for work and waiting for him to come back in from the woods. Mr C arrived with his very first turkey!!!

Lil Miss C wanted in on the camera action and was ever so curious about the turkey.  Only if she wouldn't have been sticking her toung out.

Now for one with a better smile from Lil Miss C but not from Mr. C. Oh well, i will take what i can get from them both!

So proud of my Mr. C for bagging his first turkey!! Good job, babe. Love you.

Annual Mother Daughter Weekend

This past weekend was my annual mother daughter weekend. We again meet my sis JR halfway for the weekend. We left the kiddos at home, but were joined by my brothers finance! I am so glad that she was able to join us, since they don't live that close to us, i haven't gotten to know her all that well and it was great to spend some time getting to know her this weekend. As always after the loooooooong car ride, we arrived and got settled into the hotel and relaxed for the evening with dinner and drinks at the hotel. Saturday we ventured out to the horse races, which was a lot of fun!!! Only one of my sisters and myself have been to the races before so it was exicitng to show them how to bet, and pick horses...plus for me this was the first time going to a horse race not for work, so i actually got to enjoy betting and a few drinks at the race track!! We left after the 7th race and went out to dinner and then back to the hotel. it was a wonderful weekend spending time with my sisters and my mom. We all had a really great time. Until next year...
