Uncle Rob Visit from this summer

Uncle Rob is a fun dude. He is cool b/c he has 'drawings' all over his arms and he's huge. He plays really rough and it is awesome. He shoots big guns in the Army and drives a giant truck w/lots of tires.
Blake is Rob's shadow when he is at our house.

Couldn't you just cry? Everyone that knows me knows that I did when I saw this picture. We are so proud of our serviceman! God bless our troops!

San Antonio Zoo Trip

My little insects.

We love butterflies.

My boys love the zoo. I know most kids do. But, I really think Blake might be our vet. He just loves all of them. Reid's quote of the day was "Okay, can we go to the next thing?" Blake could just sit forever and watch the large mammals. And we of course love us some reptiles!

Children's Museum of Houston

Last Thursday we got to visit the Children's Museum of Houston. Man, one day there is not enough. The boys had a great time. My mom and dad went with us (Granny and Pa) and I think Pa had as much fun as they did.

My little artists painting in the art gallery.
Pa helping us blast rockets and paper airplanes!

Our first ride on the Metro Train. We are such country folks. We kept having to ask when to get off, and where does this stop. We were just on it for fun, and all these people ride it everyday b/c they have to for work and stuff. It was hilarious. That was the best $1.25 my parents have ever spent on them! If you haven't done that yet, and you have boys, I really suggest doing it!

Cunningham Wedding March, 2009

These are the floral pictures for the wedding of Mary Katherine Cunningham. It was really fun to do this wedding because they are family friends and go to our church. They are such a neat family! Five daughters, and this is the first to marry!! Oh, my.
My friend, Lynsey Kramer, took all these pictures. She is a professional photograher and is VERY talented! Thanks, Lynsey for making me look so good! Her blog is Capturedbylyns.blogspot.com. She is unique and artistic, and I love her work!

Section of bridal bouquet

The bridal bouquet was roses, roses, roses! We used cream, tan, ivory, all shades of white. I added a few stephanotis with pearls inset. The stems were wrapped neatly with satin ivory ribbon and a row of pearl pins. It was beautiful, classic, and timeless.

Everyone please be sure to go to Yonderway Farms blog for the details b/c Lynsey actually does a good job posting!

A fruit spread, how yum!

All the cupcakes were by Haley Glasco, at the Muffin Top... she is a for real pastry chef, school and all, so they were adorable!

Haley's set up with the cupcakes, Shut Up!

All the shower attendees got parting gifts... rye grass seeds with terra cotta pots. Each one had this sweet card tied on... Lynsey made these tags on her own computer!

This is the dining table in my large living, dining room... Elton, Holly's hubby, says this should go in a magazine! Love him! It did turn out quite cute, very English.

My friend Holly Mathis is having her second boy in just a few weeks... days... who knows? So, Lynsey Kramer and I threw her a fabulous girlie shower at my home. It was so wonderful. At time of great fellowship and prayer over this mama and baby boy, and really thier whole entire cute family!

How do I describe what the Mathis family has become to us? Well, just that, FAMILY! They are the sweetest people and I had so much fun doing this shower for her!

It was so fun to do this shower b/c Lynsey and I know her taste so well. She was totally easy!

She has awesome taste, so I knew if we did all things she likes, then it had to be cute!

Uncle Rob Visits!

My brother, Robert, who is active service in Iraq for the US Army was recently home for two weeks. We had a great visit with him! He is so good with my boys. They really love playing with him and wrestling. It was good to see him. God bless our troops!

Here are some pictures from our visit with him...

Brenham Children's Chorus Fundraiser

I did flowers for the Brenham Children's Chorus this past weekend. They had a sit down dinner at Unity Theatre, here in Brenham. I was really impressed. I had never been there, but it was really nice and it was a great set up to have parties in. Here are some pictures of the flowers I did there!

Teri Van Horn was organizing the event. She is a great event planner if you need one! Thanks Teri for the great pictures!

I also have to thank Dusty's parents for cutting all thier blooming flowers out of thier yard for me. Since this was a 'charity' job, it was great having so much to use that didn't cost anything! The blue and purple hydrangeas are from thier yard!!!
