Cara's Baby Shower

The adventure for this past weekend was Cara's (my boss) baby shower. I think it was a success. The food turned out great and everyone seemed to have a good time. The theme was an upscale Florida Gators tailgate to celebrate Baby Boy Connolly.

We had tailgate food and even customized drink koozies with Root Beer. A couple games, including "figure out the melted candy bar in the diaper," and call it done! Michelle's baby, Davis, even made it to the party as the token young man, but I think he ate it up!

The Adventures of Chip, Chris and Josh...

These are a little out of place, but definitely still blog worthy. So, I had to sacrifice blog orderliness. Oh well.

Chris and Josh spent the night before Chip's wedding at the retreat center where the wedding was being held. Oddly enough, there where no pictures from that night, hmmm.

But there are pictures from the morning after, when they were supposed to be getting things ready for the wedding. They must have done both somehow, because there seemed to be no panicked bride or wedding planner.

Chris, you might want to watch out for those killer grape vines, they can be a bugger sometimes!

No, thats not a beaver far off in the New River, that is in fact Chris...

They (Chip, Josh and others) left Chris in the river with nothing but his hatchet. Although, I don't think Chris minded. I hope I never come across a guy like this in the woods!

Meet Joe Dirt... Well, actually that is the groom! This is what Chip looked like before they took him to the barber before the wedding! Man, he has been off in the backwoods too long! Just kidding, its just a wig, thank goodness!

Sampson... Dog or Cave Troll?

This is Sampson. He is Michelle's dog (one of my co-workers). My boss says he looks like the cave troll from Lord of the Rings, oh course, Michelle doesn't think so. I must admit, this picture doesn't help the argument against the cave troll. He was hanging out with us while we were cooking for my boss's baby shower and as you may be able to tell from the dangling drool, he was hoping we would drop some food onto the floor. Trust me, he got more than his fair share that night! Cave troll or not, he is still a very sweet dog.

More Asher!

Look at this cute baby boy. Is he not the perfect addition to this beautiful little family!?

Chip and Shara's Wedding

Wedding weekend, round two! On the weekend of July 27-29th Josh and I hopped in the car and headed north to Virginia. The
wedding was in the western part of the state, not too far from Virginia Tech. The country up there is sooo beautiful. The wedding was nothing less.

We had never met Shara before, but the kind words we heard about her and the way Chip loves her gives me no doubt he has found his match. Although, it is still hard to believe that Chip is now a married man! Wasn't it just yesterday he was at our wedding trying to find a girl??

The first picture is from the rehearsal dinner. It was a country western themed affair, but with none of that crazy square dancing but lots of good food. The added bonus to the weekend was that we got to spend lots of time with Chris,

Stefani and Elle. Josh's Aunt Janet

and Uncle Roy where even there.

In the last picture, can you spot how you know that this adorable little girl truly is a Redding?

Jan and Tony's Wedding

On the weekend of July 20th-22nd, Josh and I went up to Pittsburgh to get Jan married off to a great guy named Tony. We had a blast with everyone and it was great to see the crew from Thiel. We even got to go to the Lube with Krystal before we headed down to this beautiful manor called Linden Hall where the wedding was held and we spent the night. The wedding was beautiful and we had so much fun. I miss that group so much!

He's here!!

He's here, he's here! Well, actually it has been a little while, but all the same, Asher Kenneth is here! Isn't he so handsome! Congrats Steph and Adam, we are so proud!
