The Bachelorette Party

Teresa & Charlie graciously opened up their beautiful lakefront home for Sara's bachelorette party!  Sara has an awesome group of friends and two great sister-in-laws who put together a full weekend of fun to celebrate her!

 Fajita night!

 Drinking from the 'flabongo' while floating in the flamingo!

Four years ago Sara and her friends were at the Lake and had a great time listening to this gentleman perform (bottom picture).  Sara was so excited when Maggie learned that he would be performing the Friday night of her bachelorette weekend at a local bar.  

A fun, fun night listening to music and dancing!

It's All About Cars

How can it be that the little guy is already two years old?  He is totally into Disney Cars and carries a Mater toy in his hand at all times!  So it was only logical that his Mama would throw him a Cars themed birthday party!

All tuckered out after his big birthday bash, relaxing in his new Cars chair and watching cartoons!  Love how he's got his foot thrown over the arm of the chair, just how his Poppa sits in his chair!

And a week later riding 'big' Tow Mater down the sidewalk with 'little' Tow Mater on board!

Love this little boy! 

This and That

The orioles are back and have been demolishing the grape jelly and oranges!

Griffey likes her rides in the truck!

Good times with the grandson!

My favorite place to spend time in the morning with a good book!

A trip to the park!

 Time for a snack!

And a quick drink on the way up the slide!

Pointing at the 'birdies'.

Two of my very favorite guys right there!

Showering the Bride!

Sara's bridesmaids, with an assist from a couple of their Mom's, hosted a beautiful and fun bridal shower for her!  Lots of people came, yummy food and sangria, beautiful decorations, great gifts, and lots and lots of sweet love!  Maggie had put together a fun game where she had sent Evan questions and Sara had to guess his answers, Maggie read a question between each gift opened, Evan had thoughtful and funny answers and it made for a fun and meaningful game. Sara enjoyed herself and was a gracious honoree!  It was so good to see some of the Mom's, we spent a lot of hours together back when these beautiful young women were girls on the soccer field and basketball court!  It was so good catching up with them for a bit. I did not take a single picture, so these were borrowed from Nichole and Maggie's Facebook posts.

Beautiful peonies from Nichole's garden, chai cupcakes from Susan, red velvet cupcakes from Mary Barnes.

Nichole and Colby in their matching dresses, so cute!

The bride-to-be and her flower girl!

The bride and the mommas!

Sara and the girls!

Love this picture!

I provided take home gifts of mini OPI nail polishes and Bath, and Body Works hand sanitizers.  The OPI was a nod to Sara's love of nail polishes!

Rosalie, my Aunt Jeanette, cousins Dianna and Lynda, and my Mom (hard to see her behind Dianna).

Sara posted this on SnapChat later that evening!

My how the years have flown!
