Tutu Craft...

I saw this on Pinterest (my new favorite obsession) and just had to make it! I decided to make one for Eleanor's 1st birthday and I ended up making one for Lucy as well because it was just too cute! I added my own little touch with the Psalm 149:3 bible verse...

I found out real quick that taking hand prints of a 9 month old is no easy task! Oh well...you get the idea!

I haven't added any pink to Lucy's nursery, so this was the perfect pink addition!

Find step by step instructions here.

Dinnertime...

Lucy loves her puppies....and they are loving her too now that she is eating more table food! Chloe and Kaci swarm like sharks under her high chair at dinnertime. Tonight on the menu...chicken, shredded cheese, broccoli and cherries. All 3 enjoyed every bite! Thank you Chloe and Kaci for making clean-up so easy!

Caroline and John Mark's Wedding 7.16.11

Caroline and John Mark's wedding weekend was so much fun!! The celebration kicked off on Thursday with Caroline's bachelorette party. We (30 of Carol's best friends!) had dinner at Coal Vines followed by a lingerie shower at Kim's. I wasn't the best about taking pictures....I was trying to enjoy every minute!

Lily, Ruth, Shannon, Brenda, Helen, Me and Karen at dinner...

Brenda made the precious (and delicious) cake....

On Friday morning, we had Caroline's bridal luncheon at the Hawkin's home. My lovely besties....Helen, Carol, Lucy and Karen.

After the wedding rehearsal on Friday, The Scruggs hosted a wonderful rehearsal dinner for Caroline and John Mark at The Filter Building on White Rock Lake....

Now with the beautiful bride-to-be!

So happy together...

On Saturday morning, Karen, Lucy and I hosted a "breakfast with the bride" party at Caroline's parent's house. All of the bridesmaids and house party came over in their PJ's to wish Caroline a wonderful wedding day and we spent some time together praying over Caroline and John Mark's marriage. Unfortunately, I did not get any pictures at breakfast.

With the radiant bride on her wedding day....Caroline was STUNNING!!!

We could not be more happy for Caroline and John Mark!! They are the perfect match and I am so thankful that the Lord brought them together. Their wedding day was such a testament of God's goodness and love for us. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Scruggs! We can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for the two of you!!

Friday :: Day 5 in BV

Today was our last full day in Buena Vista...so we made the most of it! After the girl's morning nap, we went into town and had lunch at Riverside Grill...their fish tacos are amazing!

After lunch, we took a little drive to Cascade Falls...

After the girl's afternoon nap, we played some at the house. Here is a really cute video of Eleanor pushing Lucy....

For our afternoon activity, we drove to Cottonwood Lake...followed by dinner at Asian Palate (one of my new favorite restaurants in BV) and dessert at K's!

Wow...what an amazing trip!! We had such a great time as a family....and with The Rector's! It just went by way too fast! We're heading home tomorrow. We're all dreading getting back to the heat...the mountain air has been so refreshing! Until next time....

Thursday :: Day 4 in BV

On Thursday, Karen, Corinne and I took a girls trip to Aspen while the guys stayed back in BV with the girls. The drive to Aspen is spectacular (and a little scary in certain spots)! We stopped at the top of Independence Pass to take a few pictures of the Continental Divide.

The homes in Aspen are ridiculous! We spent some time just driving around looking at them all! We decided to buy this one...

Aspen...

Thursday evening, we went to Trail West's western night in the Aspen Grove...Corrine bought the girls matching western outfits and baby Uggs!
