Their father...

I didn't do a Father's Day post.  Why?  I don't know....I never like the pressure of doing a post on a specific day.  However, I do want to take a moment for a special shout out to this amazing man.  Our girls adore you, and so do I.  Their faces light up when you come home from work (as does mine).  We are blessed beyond measure and hope you know every day that we love you and are thankful you are ours.


Reason #21789 why you're an amazing dad...

A few pictures of my girls in all their cuteness...




















































Thanks, aunt Heidi, for this skirt.  We Adeline love how it twirls.

Been cookin' with some new things...

Anyone know what these are?


or this?
answers in the comments section...



Goat Cheese



Mascarpone cheese.....I'd heard of it, probably eaten it in something somewhere, but never cooked with it....until now.


I've got a few more recipes to try, and then I'll post the REALLY good ones.  I think I found a new favorite way to make pork tenderloin.....well equally as good as my other favorite pork recipe.  Stay tuned.



Oh, and did you know brussels sprouts grow like this?!?  I learned that last year....forgot to post it.  God is so creative.

Always a bubble girl, never a flower girl...

One Saturday in June, my lovely cousin, Janelle



married her beau, Chris...
Here is Janelle's brother, Jeff (also my cousin), escorting his grandmothers.


...and his mother, my aunt, June.
My uncle, Clair (my dad's brother), escorting his only daughter down the aisle...


We needed to sit near the back because we needed to make a quick exit after the ceremony because...


Adeline was a "bubble girl"!!!  She and my cousin's daughter, Emma, handed out bubbles as guests left the sanctuary.  She LOVED this role.  My father was almost as excited to show off his precious granddaughter help her.


My mom did the flowers.  I know, she's amazing.....wait 'till you see the reception!

There is no end to this child's cuteness...

The girls show off their bubble girl "thank you" loot.


Lovely bridal party.

The flower girl (Faith), ring bearer (Ashton), and bubble girls (Emma and Adeline) were representatives of each of my cousins' families.



Okay, reception time!!!  See this lovely fruit...guess what we did with it....dipped it in a delectable chocolate fountain (how did I miss a picture of that?!?).

I told you....





























Yep, they smashed it...















I was loving the lighting, and I took endless pictures of my sweet girls with their grandparents. 










I know, they're scrumptious.

One final candid of the happy couple as they laugh at someone sharing a story about them.


Congratulations, Chris and Janelle.  We had a blast!
