Wedding Pics Pt 1

Well here is my gorgeous bride of a sister... Took me a while to get some wedding pics up, but everyone else got some great shots so I was blog-watching for those :) Here are a few I snapped at the reception. The wedding was PERFECT-

Couldn't ask for more beautiful weather. The grounds at the Inverness made for a breathtaking backdrop. Everything went off without a hitch.

Here's Drew and my mom:

The fathers, no doubt discussing very important wedding matters... Nothing about cars, I'm sure ;)

Kari - pre-ceremony - in hair & make-up... It was a bit like a movie set!

Kari and Grandpa Luers- Love this picture!

And Lexi and her new friend Holly

More to come -

My Baby's 5 Today!

She woke up this morning and asked me how much heavier she was today than yesterday~ Got a birthday balloon from Grandpa and pancakes for breakfast from Grandma- her favorite! Seems like yesterday I was bringing her home from the hospital.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!

Here We Go~

Well Kari is due in tomorrow- on the road now, I think! After today, it is go go go until the big date!!! We are so excited and so busy! I'll try to post next week but not promising anything, lol. Have a great weekend!

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

At least something good is coming from all this rain... Everything is SOOO green! It's beautiful here; sometimes I think we're back in Iowa with all the green around. Check out this post-storm picture I got the other night- isn't it weird how one side of the sky is darker than the other?

And here is Lexi, deep in thought... probably wondering when the wedding madness will be over and she can go swimming again!

Imprisoned...

And since no day is complete without a pic of Lexi, here you go :)

After the Rain...

A few shots I got the other day after a big rain storm (yes, ANOTHER one) that we had.

My Little Swimmer

I took Lexi and a friend to the pool yesterday, and they had a blast! She (Lexi) used to be a little timid about jumping in, going under, etc, but she's really doing well. We've been practicing in the hot tub :)

They dove for different items, jumped in, kicked around, and just had a great time. She'll be ready for more swim lessons in the fall!
