Mia & Rich’s Wedding

Mia and Rich had their wedding and reception at the Wales Manor Vineyard & Winery in McKinney, TX. The weather was somewhat tempermental but, thankfully, the rain held off through the entire wedding. I had a great time and could not help but notice that the groom looked very much like a certain celebrity: then mannerisms, smile and even the mole!

Ulta Salon provided the makeup, In Bloom served as the florist, Stern’s Catering provided food and Rejoice Bakery designed the cake.

stone! 5 years old! The Trips had their birthday party at Best Gymnastics in Lewisville, TX. The facility was rented out entirely for there birthday party so they had full reign of the entire place! Of course, the party had a “Lightning McQueen” feel to it.

They got soooo many presents that we had to open a few each day over the course of a few days. Now, we have to work on getting the house back in order since there are toys and other junk all over the place! A few pics from this month.

Splash

This is probably the last month the boys will have to splash around in the pool. Even though it is warm in September, they don’t like the water unless it is very warm.

Next month, we will be at “Oak’s” wedding in Austin, TX and it will be a special treat for the boys. They are already looking forward to it. Here are some images

Sonia & Keith

Sonia and Keith were married at Temple Baptist Church with reception immediately following. Even though it was late July in Texas, the weather was pleasant enough to take some outdoor pictures!

A few select images from their wedding…

Not too hot to handle

Even though it is summer, the weather has been quite mild in comparison to prior years. In fact, we were able to get some casual family pictures that turned out quite nice! (See below)

The boys also had Grandma and Papa visit and they too the Trips to Legoland. This was one of their favorite places to go although it was very, very crowded. The boys built little lego cars and raced them on the ramps.

Aiden is doing quite well in terms of health. He is consistently able to chew various foods and can even chew his allergy pill. Keep praying he keeps going!
