anyway here are some pictures from the last TWO wedding showers

First one was with J's moms friends, so very kind of them to throw me a shower and such a beautiful and fun night with them

Shower number TWO was with my mom's side of the Family, given by my Aunt Terry at Egypt Valley.  It was also a great time and lots of great little details!

Can't believe all five showers have come and gone! 

fun filled and workin weekend

Headed up north for a quick over night to hangout with Aoife, Al and the family

BEAUTIFUL night for a walk! I love summer

 Got to wake up and play with this little man

 Then take a sail and sun

 Then it was off to muskegon for J's friends wedding!

out on the lake, it was pretty and HOT

All the play resulted in workin it on Sunday

including moving some stuff out of my house [this is the real deal]

and including running down fuller to pick up a box that flew out of the trailer

only had to witness one Carol Rhoda Magnet be run over, not bad in the grand scheme of things!
