Aunt Meem Came To Meet Lydia Mae!

On Wednesday June 25, 2014, Anne Marie made the trip back to Metamora to visit us and to meet Lydia Mae. Mom was out of town and Dad was gone for work reasons so Anne stayed with us for the two nights she was back. The kids were so excited!!!!

 

She got into town Wednesday evening and headed straight to meet the baby. Then Mary, Anne, and Lydia came over to our house to have a slumber party!

Sweet Lydia. Look at that crazy hair!

Lydia looks scared.

I feel like she is saying, "Are you sure you know what you are doing?"

On Thursday we had a great day. We played. We ate. We spent the day just being together. Anne went to see a few friends and Mary went home to shower while the kids and I watched Lydia. Thursday night we had a reunion with the Pizzuti girls and Jessica and Brenna. Anne, John, and I met them at Bernardi's for a fabulous dinner. It was delicious. It was so good to catch up.

 

Then Anne and I came home. We had a nice little photoshoot in the yard...

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then we went on a bike ride. Anne had never pulled a trailor with 55 lbs of kids in it. :)

It was quite the work out.

How cute are those two????

They look a BIT scared.

We continued our fabulous slumber party. Charlotte LOVES Aunt Mee Mee and couldn't have been happier that she was here to spend time with her. (Sawyer loves her too but Charlotte is OBSESSED.)

 

On Friday morning we woke up and Anne and Charlotte were in charge of breakfast.

 

yummmmmmmm.... she feels it is a delicious masterpiece!

 We ended Anne's visit with us by heading to lunch at "Mr. Joe's" place....AKA Main Street Café.

It's a crowd favorite.

Gigi and her babies....clearly Sawyer was too buy eating to be bothered with a picture.

 

Super hero Sawyer!!!!!!!!

 

Love all of these people.

The Weber girls....minus Charlotte.

 

It really was a great few days. We miss Anne so much and wish she lived closer. Sometimes five hours is just too far. We wish she was just around the corner so we could do stuff like this all of the time. Thanks for coming to visit, Anne. It was nice that Mom and Dad were gone most of the time so you could stay with us!!!

 



Mal and AJ's Party

You know, it's always a party when the Webers are involved. :)

One thing I really appreciate about our family is that we are all the first to get to a reception/event and we are the last to leave. That's the glory of family. They help with the set up and tear down....

Mallory and AJ's first dance.

The Weber Girls all married off.... and Mary has her little bun in the oven.

Grandma was gettin' tipsy!!

Kidding. She was holding Kurtis' beer.

Weber Siblings :)

Everyone looks amazing.

Caleb is standing weird.

Love a few things about this picture.

1.Caleb's hand on his hip.

2. The empty dance floor.

3. The fact that Anne and Katie are jumping.

4. The fact that Katie wasn't too embarrassed to do that....bc that is something isn't usually cool to a 12 yr old.

I want to say this was the Copperhead Road dance.

Anne and Melissa love a good line dance.

Caleb just loves dance...when he drinks...

I feel the thought bubbles here were...

Anne: Oh wow. Those kicks are nuts. I hope he doesn't fall.

Caleb: I am Lord of the Dance. The people ain't got nothin' on me.

Oh Uncle Jim....headed home with a mum in a pumpkin.

I love me a good lyrical dance. So while the cute newlyweds kids behind me, Aunt Michelle and I performed a lyrical dance...mostly her copying whatever I did (perhaps making fun of it.)

It was fun!

This picture of Aunt Michelle (in her pretty shoes) is priceless :)

I want an 8x10

I only wish she were facing the camera.

Creepy tongues...

Poor Alicia...

Grandma wasn't dancing.  Or drinking.

She was following the Cardinals game on Alicia's phone.

Another priceless picture....

I got Uncle Stinky onto the floor.

He and Caleb just really were rocking it...

What is Caleb doing?????

Rich was doing the macarena (sp?). That wasn't the song playing though.

Mr. and Mrs. Richard Weber

They are just so cute together...

...and so are they...

Dad dancing with his Momma.

Jake just told Grandma he forgot to wear underpants.

They were dancing fools...

She is so pretty...and so happy.

Every party must come to an end.... 

The wedding was beautiful. We had a blast hanging out with family all day and night. Mom, Mary, Chad, and the kids headed back to the Villa round 7:30 but Dad, Anne and I stayed at the dance until it ended. We helped with clean up and then we headed to the villa. It was an awesome wedding.

Congratulations Mallory and AJ :)

Here is to your happily ever after!!
