Mary's Wedding

Yesterday, the youngest sister, and the last single sibling in Nyle's family got married! Sydney was the flower girl and Alex, her cousin, was the ring bearer. It was at a farm and the ceremony was under a big oak tree. It was a beautiful setting and great weather!

Sydney really thought that she should get a bouquet too. She kept stealing the bridesmaid's bouquets!

The wedding party pulled up in a volkswagen bus. It was pretty cute! Titan, their dog, was in the ceremony too.

There was a guy at the wedding doing a painting of the ceremony. They hadn't hired him, but it was really cool! How many people get a painting of their wedding?!
Head family...all the brothers and sisters, Vonnie & Curt.

Feeding the cake to each other...they were actually really nice to each other.

Some of the Head family...good times!

Kah nee ta

We got to take a couple of days off for the first time in awhile. We went to Kah nee ta, a resort with a natural warm springs pool. It was a ton of fun, but a bit too hot for a warm pool...it was 106! I was melting if I wasn't in the pool. Oh well, it was still fun! They had a little miniature golf course and a playground too. The kids loved every minute!

Nyle showing me his muscles! Cheeseball (cute though)!

Tyler is showing off! He did really good at his golf game...he can't wait for grandpa to come show him how to play real golf (seriously, dad).
The fun slide at the pool. One of my kids just went off the top, but I just missed them.
Hanging out at the campground.
Crazy Sydney! Is she having fun? Heck yeah!

Got Roof & Arches!

We got a roof last week! It looks so good. The house is now starting to blend in with the trees, thank heavens! Nyle is adding all the interior arches now and they really look nice. He curses me everytime I add one, but he will thank me later!

Entryway arches
Black roof and painted eaves!
This is the back of the house...the covered porch is right outside the dining room and kitchen.
This is the back again, but now you are looking at the master bedroom windows.
Sydney's arch. Her bed will go right beneath it. She's got the best room in the house! Yes, I know, they are spoiled! So was I. But my kids are getting put to work as we speak. They are outside filling the dumpster with all the trash that covers the jobsite. This has to be one of our messiest jobsites ever.

Bye Bye Dune Buggy

So, we bartered with our plumber for our house. He gets the dune buggy. It really is a good deal for all of us, but it is sad to see it go. We've had a lot of fun with this toy. We went to Florence this weekend for one last ride.

Sydney loves this! She is more sad than all of us.


Loading it up to go out to the dunes on a beautiful day...you can't beat that!

Fun with Aunt Dianne

We got to go out to Black Butte Ranch with Aunt Dianne on Thursday to go swimming. It was so fun! I just wish the pool were in my back yard!

She's not happy, is she?

Jumpin' in!
Some people there had this cool floaty toy and we got to play with it too. Sydney would get mad and scared if anyone touched it while she was holding on. She didn't want to fall off!

Nobody to tag

I'm sorry, but I can't pass on this tag. I have no other blogger friends besides "the cousins." You guys already tagged everyone! I'm terrible at these games!

I've been tagged...

My cousin, Erin, tagged me. She said on her blog that her cousin, Emily H tagged her. Does she have more than one cousin with the name Emily H?
