Show us your life! wedding party and flowers!!!

I had the best bridesmaids a girl could ask for!!! My sister Kathleen was my maid of honor. My 4 best friends from high school were my bridesmaids!!! Diane, Sarah, Amanda, and Adrienne!!! I found really pretty pink dresses for them to wear, and they were able to pick the style they wanted, Diane and Adrienne picked a halter style top, and Amanda and Sarah went for the strapless top. My sister was my maid of honor so i wanted something extra special for her so her top has lace over lay!!!

This picture was to pay homage to a picture we always did during volleyball in high school, WE

JUST GOTTA SHOW THE GUNS!!!!

The girls made the cutest shirts to wear at the reception (it was very country, in the back yard). They all said brides maid and my sisters said maid of honor!!! I love those girls so much!!! I was truly honored to have them in my wedding!!!

Show us your life!!!! Wedding dress style!!!

well I have been following a blog for a little while now and I just love the idea of "show us your life" I think its a great way of taking a peak into our lives and for me to share with everyone a little about my life!! this week was "show us your wedding dress..." so here goes, enjoy!

fun week...

Well this has been a very fun week and also a sad one, I got to do a lot of fun things but Donny was gone for 6 days for work so that was a bummer, but thanks to my grandma, sister and mom I made it thru this week!!! I don't have pictures for everything I did but I will try to fill you in the best that I can, buckle up and here we go!

Kathleen and I took Friday off and went to Amarillo to do a ton of errands and to get our hair cut, I didn't get a cut but I got high lites.... and I love them!!! We also squeezed in a pedicure!!! we went to "Nail Time" at the suggestion of our hair dresser, Mandy.... wow what an experience Kathleen had... we walk in and are ushered back to two nice pedi chairs... we couldn't wait to relax... my lady comes up and starts my pedi, then about 10 minutes later here comes Kathleen's lady... eyes red and puffy... tears still streaming down her face.... and she continues to cry thruout Kathleen's entire pedi... and also has to get up and go to the bathroom 3 times!!!! and if you thought that was enough she talked to my pedi lady the entire time about why she was mad!!! and said "F*** her" like 99 times... in English!!! needless to say our relaxing pedicures were not relaxing at all!!!

On that same trip to amarillo we went to HOBBY LOBBY the best store ever, and I purchased this platter for only $6.00!!!! i was so excited to get it at such a discounted price because the original price was $59.99!!!

then when I got it home I realized the sticker said 2PC SET!!!! I got jipped!!!! I only have 1 piece, oh well it still was a great buy and I love it!!!

The garden is growing like crazy, its a full time job that doesn't pay very well!!! even though it doesn't look like it is producing much I swear it is!!!

see!!! yellow squash, cucumbers, eggplant, bell peppers, tomatoes, corn, black eyed peas, okra!!!

Donny's mom gave me 14 baby chicks her hen hatched out!!!! they are about 3 weeks old and will be going outside very soon!!!!

Debbie invited me out this week to see her farm, when I got there it was feeding time.... well for her granddaughter at least!!! haha... well as you can see jayla loves cereal, her face was making me laugh so hard!!!

we saw baby deer...

and grown deer!!!

I had a very fun week, and I'm ready to start another one!!!!

Our 4th of july... only 16 days late...

ITS BEEN FOREVER!!!! ok well not forever but awhile, this post will be about our wonderful 4th of July!!!!



we were so blessed to share the 4th with my aunt and uncle, Carroll and Barbara Hickey who came all the way from Arlington to visit us. (Carroll was the man who married Donny and I, so its always nice to see them!!!) and we were also joined by Donny's uncles from Kemp tx, James and will. James brought me a filing cabinet!!! i love it!!! we had such a great time doing fireworks and just hanging out... enjoy the pictures....





Donny and Mike work so well together!!! at one point one of the fireworks fuse went out and Kathleen and i heard this...

Donny: huh i think it went out

mike: what are we gonna do?

Donny: i don't know

mike: you got any gas!!!!!!!!






no gas was used to light this firework!!!! just about 15 sparklers placed under the base of the firework!!!!
