two little flower girls

our precious girls were in my cousin spencer's wedding this weekend. talk about tired! it has been so long since we've had any weddings i forgot how much it wears you out. the girls had a really good time being part of the wedding party and i think they really like all the attention they were receiving. i had fun taking pictures, it definitely gave me an opportunity to practice and have some fun with my camera as well. here is just a sampling from our day:

here comes the bride...

no, your eyes are not deceving you. yes, that's lela in a wedding dress. actually it's a flowergirl dress that we tried on yesterday for the correct size. come this september both of the girls will be in my cousin's wedding and yesterday we went and got fitted for their dresses. lacey size was pretty much dead on, but lela being tall and skinny things got a little more complicated, so that's when i decided we should try on some dresses. i actually think she had fun playing dressup.

here is what they will actually be wearing for the wedding:



and their shoes:

nature camp and more

thought i'd drop by for a quick update on what's happening around here. lela is at nature camp this week and loving every minute of it. last night she told me she had so much fun. she got to touch a crocodile, lizard, snakes, and the list goes on and on. i have an agenda of everything they do each day and today they will hike through the woods, play in the creek and have a picnic while out exploring. i only wish they let us "big kids" come. she was so exhausted last night when i picked her up. she is gone from 9:00am to 3:00pm, so she stays busy.

mom is off this week from work, so she is hanging with me and lacey while we look for flower girl dresses. both girls will be in my cousin's wedding come september and lacey is beside herself with excitement at wearing a "beautiful dress." she was so cute yesterday as we scanned the racks for just the right dress; grinning from ear to ear when we would pull out a dress to show her.

kevin's grandmother is still in the hospital with not much improvement. so, we're just going on and doing what we do.
