Abbey and Eric

Last month Mike's brother got married to a GREAT person. We had a great time at the wedding. Here are a few pictures!

Sweet November

Okay I'll admit it. I'm a HUGE fan of the twilight series. I'm super excited for the movie and believe it or not I briefly considered giving my Celine Dion ticket to my Dad so I could go the opening night. BRIEFLY I SAID!! I wouldn't go to that extreme. I don't know if it is really that great of a series as much as it is fun to get excited about something and look forward to something. I'm the type of person who likes to have something to look forward too. For example, I had a great year this year. I awaited the arrival of my baby shower in January; my last day of work in February; my baby in March and my parents anniversary party; my nephew graduated in May; my baby sister got married in August and my brother-in-law got married in October! And now sweet November.....although you have no weddings, no anniversaries and no babies due......I get to go see Celine Dion in concert (have had the ticket for a year and half and thought the day would never arrive) and I get to see TWILIGHT! YAY! So all-in-all November is right up there in its own special way with the rest of my year;) BTW Melanie, if your reading this....Jane Eyre is definately a classic and one of my favorites BUT! can you really beat high school romance between a human and a vampire in this day and age? I think not;) Leave Jane Erye in the past and read the rest of the books for goodness sake. ;) Love ya!

They only get faster

Our latest attempt at a family portrait. :) LOL!
Mercedes is getting so big and she now rolls everywhere. Not crawl or scoot..she rolls. It's so cute. However yesterday she rolled to my plant and grabbed hold and next thing I know she's eating it! Oy... She has two new teeth and is loving trying them out on everything. She also had her first oreo. Sooo cute. I think that my friend put it well when she said "Amanda, they only get faster".

Not much else going on here. All the leaves fell off our trees yesterday and thanks to the wind we don't have that much to rake up! YAY! We are excited about Eric and Abbey's wedding on Saturday too! I'll post some pictures of them. Okay, time to make cookies!

More pictures of Sam's wedding as promised. And these are some of my favorites. There are so many to choose from. Mercedes was of course more interested in my flower then the camera or this picture would have been my new favorite of all of us together. She is so cute though. She had her six month visit today and the Dr. told me that she is bigger then 80% of most babies her age. But she is perfectly healthy. Whew!

Mercedes

Here are some updated pictures of my princess Mercedes. She has gotten big since the last pictures I posted. We haven't been up to much. I'm sad about summer ending but at the same time I am ready for the season to change. Well, here she is lately. Still getting cuter every day if possible! ;)

Sambolina's wedding

My baby sister got married yesterday. The wedding was soo beautiful and Samantha looked amazing. I was the maid of honor of course:). The best part was seeing her so happy and spending time with my family. More pictures later.
