THE WEDDING RECEPTION

I am finally posting some photos of Natalie's reception. I have been waiting because we didn't get many good close up photos. In fact I don't have ONE photo of my little family. We left the camera in the car while we were taking those and spaced doing it later. So here is a brief overview of the evening. Natalie and Trent greeting visitors. We set up all these tents in the rain, but didn't need them!

My cute cousins yes, (even the ones on the left are considered my cousins) and Grandma enjoying food under the large tent.

The water table. My mom has such a good eye for decorating, every table was beautiful.

Obviously cutting the cake. The most unflattering photo of me, but the only one we got all night. Anna LOVED eating the cake and had to do it all by herself with a fork!

The amazing Buffet!!

Little groomsmen and flower girl, they were so cute together all night, they even danced on the dance floor with one another.

My little cutie! She looked adorable, but was a little handful. (Toddler around a stream and pool, not my idea of a fun time).
Dancing with Daddy.

The bridesmaids wore black dresses with a red sash and red high heels. I got my first pair of red high heels! Then, a bunch of Natalie's friend came wearing black and red as well. Obviously the ones with the red sashes are the bridesmaids.

Ups and downs- as usual

The weight goes up, up, up, then everyonce in a while I have drive and it goes DOWN. How come I cannot get myself on the band wagon again. Chocolate, Carmel sauce with ice cream, sno cones, Skittles, more chocolate, Anna's leftovers, another slice of Pizza, "one more French Fry, blogging instead of exercising, FB instead of exercising, crafts instead of exericing, oh so many things contribute to the rollercoaster I am continually on.

Dave and I both need to get drive back, any suggestions? What do you do to loose weight, exercise or avoid snacking?

Perhaps I need to go back to no chocolate. Okay I will do it right now... until my birthday... I HAVE to have my Glaus Mint Chocolate Cake then! mmmmm.

Song of the week

Okay, I admit, I am a "song of the week" type of girl. I hear a song and I listen to it over and over for a week or longer. It gets in my head and I can not get sick of it. I have gone through many phases of this (as Dave can attest) and I love to blast the song in the car or where ever I am. My songs for right now are Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" and "Lucky" with Colbie Calliet. I have added them to our blog so I can listen to them (yes that is the real reason why they are here). I hope you all enjoy them too along with others I put on as well.

What is your "song of the day, week, month?" Any one else do this?

What's the point

Here is why I don't watch a lot of TV...

I get my hopes up all the time when I turn on the cable (direct TV) and see there are over 900 channels to choose from. THEN.... I search and search, how come all the movies are on channels that are "not purchased" and why do they list channels you haven't bought anyway... cruel and unusual punishment? How come there are over 20 exercise infomercials ("especially drop two dress sizes instantly") and a million music channels. The Spanish channels are also out of control. I cannot find a single thing that interests me besides the news (depressing) and my favorite the food channel which right now I cannot find...blast! I will look for it right now and tell you the STRANGE things that cable offers!

P.S. I should just go to bed huh? Dave is sleeping because he gets to get up at 5:20 am and drive to Logan, poor kid. What did he sign up for? (:
