Party Animals....

We have been so busy this past week. We had parties five days in a row! I think Larson thought that his world had turned into one big occasion to eat cake! He loved it!!

I haven't posted in awhile, so here are some catch-up pics:

One of Ryan's college friends got married this past weekend. It was so much fun because all of his Tech friends were there. There are 12 of them who have really kept in touch since college.. this is the crew (minus the bride & groom!) - Ryan has been at all of their weddings!



This is Larson & Secily with the Lowry kids. They had such a fun day playing together!

Larson & Secily are starting to team up - which can only mean one thing.....trouble! :)

Wedding Bells

So, I am a little late in posting this, (seems to be a pattern lately!) but last weekend my brother-in-law Preston got married! It was a beautiful wedding....seriously, a fairy tale! He & Katherine make a fantastic couple & we are so happy for them! Here are a few pics for those of you who are interested.

Ryan & I with Preston & Katherine:

In keeping with tradition...Lesley caught the bouquet! (She also caught mine, and Natalie's)

The departure:
Preston & Katherine went to Hawaii for their honeymoon, and I'm sure are having a fabulous time, but I have to say, the kids and I had our own little taste of "Hawaii" today at the Hawaiian Falls Water Park & had a fabulous time with Jeff & Chandra. Eat your heart out Honolulu!!

Lazy Lake Days

My whole family got together the first weekend in May. We got a lakehouse on Cedar Creek Lake, took Bryan's boat out there and had a fabulous weekend. Larson is now very excited about wakeboarding and "surfining"...he practices daily in the backyard, making his uncles very proud.

These are pictures of the ideal Larson vacation...clear sky, calm water, & everyone in the boat!
Hard to get better than this....





That's right....that's my Dad. He's inland surfing. It's the new thing to do behind the boat....he's not afraid to keep up. Way to go Dad!! :)

Summer is Coming!

Larson, like Ryan, has really thick hair. So, Ryan thought the best thing he could do for Larson as we head into the summer months, is to give him buzz cut! He thinks Larson will be so much cooler without all of his mounds of hair. I can't believe how different he looks with the new 'do'.
