All because two people fell in LOVE....

We just returned home from a trip to Colorado for our dear niece's wedding! Shawna FINALLY found her man and they had a BEAUTIFUL wedding! We had so much fun...we stayed with Roger and Joyce, visited the Air Force Academy, had car problems, borrowed a car, did some swimming, celebrated Tori and Laurel Joy's birthdays, had lunch with Shawna and Ben, went to rehearsal and BBQ afterwards, and danced the night away at the reception!! Our girls were flower girls along with their cousin.

Mady, Laurel Joy and Tori did a great job!

Shawna with her dad.

Connor waiting patiently for the wedding to begin.

I caught Mady under the table peeking in the gifts!!

Tori dancing with cousin Luke.

The cake was placed on a tree stump, decorated with aspen leaves.
The theme was fall with very natural and organic elements. I loved it!!

Passed down to the next generation,

At the reception.

Famous at last....

The kids got to ride in a LIMO this morning to school. What fun!! Our good friend knew of someone who had a limo and he arranged it. Thank you Lyndsay!!! Even better, its a HUMMER party-mobile!

Family Fun

My crazy daughter!

Mady went to a birthday party and the Reptile Man was there. She's so brave! I hate snakes!

Go Green!

So, I did one good thing for Earth Day...I watched Oprah!! No, really, on her show it was about Living Green. They showed how to pack an earth-friendly lunch. Since both my girls take their lunch and someday Connor will, I went to this website http://www.snacktaxi.com/ and ordered reusable sandwich bags. I know they're pricey, but in the long-run more cost effective than buying ziploc. I think the kids will have fun eating out of them too!

(come in various patterns)

More kitties??

So, the last pack of BLACK kitties are now sitting in a kennel at the local PetSmart waiting for their "forever homes". Kind of sad...but it was time for them to leave us!

We now have a new litter of 3 week old kits and their mama, Betty! They have some strange names for these cats, we usually rename them. I just picked them up today so take a look...

Look at that face!!

So I have REALLY been bad about not blogging...I could give you many excuses, but I won't because that takes up precious blogging time! So, anyways, I apologize and now will move on!!

Here's what's happened in the last 2 months.

• Connor turned 4 on Jan. 28!
• Tori began playing indoor soccer.
• I've been taking the kids swimming almost every week.
• Phil's work is stressful and Microsoft is doing 5000 layoffs in the next 18 mos.
• I'm still "Just a mom!"
• Oh, and we're doing foster care for cats!! Ha, ha! Doesn't that sound funny?
