My Cousin's Wedding

Two weeks ago, Kara and I attended my beautiful cousin Anna's wedding. Here's some pics from that day!

Aunt Tricia with her niece,Kara, and then nephew, Robbie.
Dancing time!


The bride, Anna, with Robbie. Groom Steve became Robbie's new best friend because he gave him a ring pop! These two love kids and want to have eight of them!

Here was one of the best parts...the sweets table. I should have taken a picture of the line of people waiting to get something!

Here is the happy couple making a dash to leave!

7 Things

I've been tagged (about two months ago!!!) by my good friend, Diane over at A Little McD (which she'll soon have to rename "2 Little McDs"!) to name 7 creative things about me. So here goes:

1) I like all food except one thing. Pepperoni. Seriously. There are combinations of food that I don't like or certain ways of preparation but pepperoni is the only food that I truly don't like.

2) I didn't like my wedding dress. Sad, I know. For some reason I was in a hurry to pick one out and tried to get it as cheaply as possible. I only tried on a few and I really have no idea why I rushed it. My mom fixed the worst parts and made it a lot better than the original but...it's my one regret to a GREAT wedding.

3) When I watch movies or TV, I like to laugh. Once in a great while I like a sad movie. But mostly I don't like action or thinking movies and I especially don't like scary or horror movies.

4) I love to read. Books, magazines, newspapers, internet articles, game instructions, recipes, blogs...cereal boxes!

5) Growing up, I always wanted an older brother. I don't know why I glamorized it. Now, I love being the oldest of 5 girls. I love my sisters!

6) All my sisters and my mom have been to Hawaii and I've never gone!!! I would love to go to Hawaii.

7) I don't like to blog without posting a picture. Since I'm not at home with my own camera cord, I've found one on my sister's computer. It is of Braedon, my very new nephew!
Now I'm supposed to tag 7 friends. Since probably only 7 people (or less) read this blog, consider yourself tagged!!!

'Nuff Said

All I have for you today is photo shoot from Sunday afternoon:

Knowledge about People

"Mom, do you know what I know about people?" asked Kara.

"What do you know about people?" I said.

"The more you grow, the higher you can jump and the faster you can run."

She's pretty smart! And pretty cute.

After her daddy went to work for a few hours on Saturday, she was anxious for his return, so she sat outside on her little "tot spot" and watched for him...too precious!

CVS/VBS

Our church's Vacation Bible School is coming this next week. This is Kara's second year and she is SOOOO excited. The director sent all the kids a post card reminder in the mail and she has carried it around with her ever since. Here she is holding tight to it while riding on a pony at a local store.

I'm helping with the music, which includes a lot of motions to learn, so she gets a sneak peak at all the fun songs. I'm hoping to get her on video singing some of them!

Also, sometimes she says VBS but sometimes she gets confused and says CVS (thus the title of this post).

Jumping Girl

Luke took these pictures a few weeks ago at my sisters' graduation party.

Artist Kara

We used another fun idea from MOMSense magazine published by MOPS last week.
We bought different colors of KoolAid packets and added 2 to 3 tablespoons of warm water. Voila! Scratch and sniff paint.

WARNING: It stains very easily, on skin too. But the result was beautiful!

This one is entitled "Away in The Manger." See the stars?
