Wow this was a looong time ago This was like the Wednesday evening before the wedding I think. We had a low country boil -or Wesley had a low country boil and we went to it.

Kelvin was just sitting there looking at the camera and then Noah came up and scared him. The second pic is right when Noah got him.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The Wedding set up was fun but very tiring!  Skye couldn’t get the vacuum to stay on so she hopped around the stage with her foot on the power button. It was funny:)

My camera was my bouquet at the rehearsal. Here’s a pic I got:)

The rehearsal dinner was soooo good-and we didn’t have to do a thing,  just show up and eat

I didn’t get very many pics but here’s one of my cute dear friend and brother:

I didn’t get very many at the wedding but here are some:

Getting ready:

The Couple <3

For some reason I couldn’t frown

I know, blurry, but I forgot to put it on the right setting and I was to scared to change it -Mama and Noah walking up the aisle and my bouquet in my other hand… ;o

After the wedding we had fun playing volleyball and stuff! Jasmin has pics

On Sunday night the Troyer girls came over to our house -it was Great! We didn’t take any pics but we had lots of fun

We had fun with Grandma all week! On Tuesday we went to the beach and the crab shack. It was sooo much fun!

Jasmin looking at her sunburn in the van window. haha

Skye & I at the  crab shack. All sunburned out!

How in the world could you eat these things?

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The day after they got back from their honeymoon we went to the Aquarium in Atlanta for Jasmin’s 18th Birthday. It was fun, but very crowded. By the time we parked, got our tickets, and got inside, we were hungry! So we got something to eat, and then we tried to find a seat. We found 1 little round table. At first we were sharing seats but then a worker gave us some extra seats. It was kinda hard to get all the seats to fit around the table!

After we ate lunch we went through this tunnel. They had moving floor thingy that would take you through the tunnel. That was cool because then we didn’t have to wait on the people in front of us to move out of the way and we didn’t have to walk.   I think this ended up being our favorite thing there. Before we left, we went through it again!

We went in this dark room with a lit big tank of fish. The lighting was really neat in there:

Here are 2 of the fish that were in the big tank:

In another section they had a little tunnel you could crawl through.  Here are Jasmin, Noah, and Skye in the tunnel:

This was funny. I took a picture of him(1st pic) and then he put his front hands(or paws<?> or whatever their called) in the water like, “This is my best pose”;)

They had a penguin tunnel too. It was longer than that other one. We had to wait in this area for a little while so Skye got out and took a pic of us:

It was neat to be that close to the penguins:)

Skye and I were in one of those -uh I don’t know what to call them- that thing that Noah’s in in the pic above ^

Anyway, Skye was hitting a rolled-up map(I think) on the thingy and the penguin would try to get it. Then she moved the paper around in a circle and the penguin bobbed its head in a circle trying to follow it! It was funny.

They had a playground and I think it was supposed to be for little kids.   A bunch of Moms were at the bottom of this big slide watching their little kids come down.  Then here comes these big people(compared to the little kids). All except Me, Mama, & Grandma went down! Mama & I walked up the stairs to the entrance of the slide, but after I saw all the little kids going down and the Moms watching at the bottom, I was to embarassed to go.

They had neat lights on the ceiling in the main area that changed colors. Here’s Mama & Modesty and Grandma & Jasmin upstairs:

We stayed the night in a nice hotel and then the next morning we had to take Grandma to the airport. :–(  (That’s a teary face -I learned that from our shower curtain lol)  It was fun to have Grandma here for 2 weeks!

(^that’s  me-grand- MA^ )

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We had the Moens over a few days later so Jasmin could have a cake and be sung to and so we could see the Moens again.

Here’s Jasmin admiring her cake or maybe her candles or maybe how many candles there are. lol

The twins were trying on Skye’s and Modesty’s wigs and then we thought it would be fun to dress them up. Emma didn’t want to so we just did Elli.

It was fun and she is a great poser

~~~~~~~~~~~

Now, on to July…

On the 4th of July the Moens came over and we played volleyball, grilled hamburgers, had a water fight, did sparklers, and had a great time!

Jasmin has more pics 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cow Day @Chickfila For some reason it was more embarassing for us(except for Noah -of course:) -)this year than last year. I think it was because we didn’t have a crowd this year… the food was good though

~~~~~~~~~~~

We watched the Shenk kids a couple weeks ago while their Mom was having a baby

They’re so cute and are all getting so big!
