This Girl.... (GA gets married)

It blows my mind to think that this girl has been in my life for 12 years, eating dinner at my kitchen table, having sleepovers, doing life with us and is now a WIFE :) Time...there's just no stoppin' it.

The gals in this Mouse House have been OVER THE MOON excited about GA's wedding and all the festivities :) Especially the two biggest gals that live here (ahem) :)
 
On Friday we were invited to pop over to the salon where all the girls in the family/wedding party were getting their nails done. I gave my gals mani/Pedi's before we left.

GA's Momma with her two grandmommas :)

FUN TIMES at the salon :)


I posted this on FB the day of the wedding. I said "it's gonna be hard to tell who's more excited" :) Minnie was just BESIDE herself with anticipation of seeing GiGi get married :) I was excited as well but was def. having a hard time with all the emotions going into the happiness :)

Plus after I looked at that picture above... I looked at this picture I have on my fridge...
and realized yet again just how FAST time goes!
 
It scares me to think that it will go by in a blink of an eye and it'll be these two :) (ack!)


and don't even get me STARTED on this one :)



We just had the best time visiting and getting all caught up in the preparation for the next day! I LOVE being a girl! :)

 
Saturday was the wedding. I had to take a pic of GA's car parked between these signs. Gotta love being the bride :)

so excited!


Do you see it? The sweet moment of GA's Momma giving her new son-to-be a kiss and a whisper? :)

and a special moment with his soon to be FIL :)



 Poor little ring bearer. It is SO intimidating walking into a room full of people starting at you :) So cute! He snapped right out of it once he got to his Mama :)




ah the eye water :)

can you blame him? :) She was gorgeous! I wanted to zoom in on this picture but I didn't want to crop out her friend Grace's reaction. SO SWEET!






They each took a turn signing their family Bible while GA's sister and BIL sang. It was beautiful!






YIPPPEEE :)


Off to the PAH-TY! Special side note... Minnie's dress is the same dress that Sky wore to JJ and J's wedding 6  years ago. She was SO proud to be wearing it and told everyone it was her cousin's dress and that it was worn her to Aunt and Uncle's wedding :) So stinkin' cute!








This picture (taken by SIL L) cracks me up. You can put a girl in a fancy dress but she's still gonna play with her little people and joke with them just like she always does :)



Party Peeps :)




All the little people DYING for a piece of cake...

or at least just a taste :)


 
an AMAZING weekend GA! We love you and Josh and are so thrilled for both of you!

Lana turns FIVE

I can't believe we have been celebrating this little friend for THIS LONG! What a joy she is and what a fun party her Momma always throws! :)
 
Even if these two are confused by the sweet and sour :)

There was "give Lana a high five"...the gals had to trace their hands for a game later on...

the gals :)

FUN!


CUPCAKE DECORATING! :) YUM!



and it wouldn't be complete without a piñata! :)








fun times all around!!! :)

A Catch-Up post and camera dump...

This is our "busy season"... track, end of school, holidays, birthdays, etc. There is also a life changing event for someone close to us (that I'll blog about in a few days) that have been keeping my MIND occupied... oh yeah, and the part where I'm responsible for keeping two little people at lease ALIVE during the day :)


Thank GOODNESS for nice weather... FINALLY!!! We have made several trips to the park...


and started soaking up the sunshine!!









Last Friday was a GORGEOUS day and Yiz needed a parking lot attendant :) aka babysitter while she was in an appointment...

This girl... LOVE LOVE LOVE HER...

the four in this van (can't see Miss B) make my heart so happy!

even when they do the "stink face" :) (per my request)

Last Saturday

We are NOT letting the weather get the best of us... we are still doing all those things you are SUPPOSED to do in the spring and who cares if we are doing it wearing SCARVES, WINTER JACKETS AND MITTENS!!! (Ok, maybe I care a little bit. COME ON WARM SUNNY WEATHER!)

Husband works with a girl who is engaged to a guy in the Yankees organization. (We try not to hold it against her ;) and he is doing a rehab stint with their team that plays OUR team... she scored us free tixs to last Saturdays game.

These two were PSYCHED...


BUT especially since their friends showed up! :)


The game was a blast, the company was awesome and it was the Momma's who wanted to leave at the 7th inning ;) everyone else would have stayed right through! :)


Taking Minnie down to the "Trash Monster"

Nothin' like a little help from your friends!
A great day and end to Daddy's vacation :)
