Popsicles and cousins

Here is a fun lil' storyboard of my neice & nephew with our cousins from England. We had to break out the "lolly's" (popsicles) in order to get some happy faces. As you can tell it still didn't make Luke very happy. :0 Phil's aunt Jill, cousin Karen and her two kids (Luke and Rhiannon) came over for two weeks. We had a great time hanging out by the pool and spending time together. I must add that a kid with an English accent is just lovely! :)

Weddings.....

Here are some picts from the last three weddings we've been to! It's always a blast to celebrate the couple's special day with friends & family!
Ashleigh & Joel ~ their wedding was May 30, 2009 at Tucker Plantation - right outside of Athens! We had a wonderful weekend celebrating and hanging out with friends! I actually took pictures at their rehearsal too which was a blast! Will post some of those later.
One last kiss before getting in the get away car!!!

Martha & Will ~ they got married on May 2, 2009 in Clarkesville, TN. Martha & I are sorority sisters from college! She caught the bouqet at our wedding! :) Unfortunatly, Phil wasn't able to go with me, but I had a blast with a lot of Chi O's from Queens! Their band was awesome!
the sweet couple dancing!
told you the band was awesome - Super T! How can you beat this outfit?! Me & Martha after a lot of dancing and sweating!
Caroline, me & Lauren All the Chi O's at the wedding!
Ryan & Margaret are friends of Phil's from college. Margaret is a rockette (yes, the real deal) and we couldn't stop watching she and all her rockette friends dance! Don't worry we didn't even try and dance like them. It was extra special for Phil and I because their wedding/reception was at the Old Decatur Courthouse which is where Phil & I were introduced at another wedding almost 6 years ago!!!!

the newly weds dancing the night away!
Margaret with her Rockette girls! They were amazing! Phil & I at the wedding Our group of friends - all Phil's GA Tech guys!

Long time no blog......

Our sweet family celebrating Dad!
His awesome retirement cake my aunt made!

Congrats Dad!! We are so proud of you!


Finally, back in the blog world. Sorry It's been so long. Let's see since my last blog Phil & I celebrated our 2nd anniversary!!!, went on a cruise (will post picts soon), celebrated Dad's reitrement, my sister was in town from Montana, I finished my Specialist degree, Phil finished paramedic school, we've gone to 5 weddings, and I finished another wonderful school year at EPMS! Needless to say, we are thankful summer is here! We've been sleeping in and hanging out at the pool! Phil has family in town from England for the next two weeks so we're soaking in as much time with them as possible.

As for pictures above - yahoo for Dad!!! He's officially retired and loving every moment of it! He & mom are on an Alaskaian cruise celebrating their 30th anniversary and his retirement! We are so proud of his hard work and dedication! We had a party for him at my parent's earlier in May! CONGRATS DAD!!! We love you!

Will post more pictures soon from all the weddings and festivities!
