Everything was beautiful....the cake was adorable!

What a wonderful evening we had celebrating Corey and Jacey's marriage! Lots of family and friends came to share in their love! We had a fun time dancing and whooping it up! Since they were married in Gatinburg, alot of friends and family were unable to go to the wedding, so they had the reception to celebrate! It was alot of fun! And little Cutler came home with us and spent the night and slept the whole night!!!!

Our last day together....we did a little shopping!

What a wonderful time we had together! It is so fun spending time with family! Chicago was wonderful and exciting! We were able to do alot of sightseeing and managed to get in a little shopping too! My cousin Bethanie's twins turned 1 yr. old and we were able to celebrate their birthday! We did alot of jumping on trains, buses and taxis! Which is a whole new experience for a girl from Bedford, IN! Hopefully, we will all be able to get together again soon....family time is precious!

Family Time at Spring Mill

Our last weekend before school begins.....my cousin Janine and her family were camping at Spring Mill....so we decided to go down and have a campfire dinner with them! The twins and Novalee were home from KY, so we grabbed Mamaw Margie and headed down! We had alot of fun catching up with family and friends. And of course...Cutler just keeps getting cuter!

Sweet Potato Pie and Shut My Mouth!

Precious Cutler!!!! Cutler came and stayed with us on Wednesday...he is just so precious...laughs all the time!!! I need to have another Cutler day before I go back to school!

MISS INDEPENDENT

Jade Wagner....our niece on Matt's side....we are so very proud of Jade, she is getting ready to start Graduate School this fall at Ball State University in Muncie, IN. Jade has spent the past 4 years studying abroad in Australia, Italy, New Zealand, France...and many other countries. This girl knows where she is going and nothing will stop her! We are so proud of her...Jade lost her little brother Jarrett in a dirtbike accident in 2000, he was 8 at the time and would be a senior this year. Jade has dealt with alot....after her brother's death, her parents soon divorced. More determined than ever...she kept her grades up and off to Ball State she headed where she took advantage of every study abroad program offered. She has worked her way through college and just bought this brand new Mini Cooper all on her own. Her mother and I always laugh....Jade will NEVER need a man to take care of her...she's got it going on!!! Her dream is to work with Universities all over the USA developing Study Abroad Programs....what ever she wants to do...Jade will do it! Go Jade!

Cutler is almost crawling....

Cutler wants to play video games with the twins!

No Complaining here.....We here in Indiana are ready for some HEAT! It is summer...give us some 100 degree days! Don't think it reached 100, but it was hot and humid! The day started off with the Couple's City Tournament and Otis Park...Shauna and I went out and watched awhile and then I headed to Jacque's to pick up the twins. It was sooo good to see them. They started Kindergarten on Thursday...which I can't believe....but they had so much to tell me about their new adventure! They loved school and loved riding the bus! We headed to the mall and I let the pick out some new school clothes....they went for a SpiderMan T-shirt! haha We then headed to Shauna's to swim for awhile. Then they got their very 1st haircut in a salon...I have always cut their hair, but it was time to get a Big Boy Kindergarten Haircut! They looked adorable! We then headed home and had dinner, then Jacey, Corey and Cutler came over and we made some homemade ice-cream! Cutler's favorite! He looked like he had grown so much since last week! He had fun watching the boys play video games...he wanted to play so bad! Nothing like a day with family and friends!

HAIL.....bigger than golf balls!

It stormed last night about 4:oo am ....and with that storm was bigger than golf ball size hail! Chase and I jumped up and looked out...it was the weirdest sound on the roof I have ever heard! We have to have our roof replaced and Matt's truck has to be fixed!
