Jessie and Chris' Wedding

On May 16, the big day arrived. Wedding day!! Although it was a bit chilly that day, the sun was shining beautifully. Also beautiful was my sister. Everything that day turned out great. Gorgeous wedding, wonderful reception, great dance. Everyone danced and had a great time. It was so nice to see family I hadn't seen in a while. Wish we could get together more often!

Rehearsal Dinner

The day before Jessie and Chris' wedding, we had rehearsal and then the rehearsal dinner at the Stake Out in Lisbon. Here are a few pics from that night. And, did I remember to take a picture of the head table...no. *Sigh*

Jessie's Bachelorette Party

Well, I finally decided that it was time to post to my blog. Sorry it took so long. Anyhow, I'll start with the beginning of May and work my way to the present.

On May 2nd, we had a shower and bachelorette party for my sister, Jessie. I don't have any pictures from her shower because you know how well I am about taking pictures. But, I did take pictures of her bachelorette party that night. We had a bus take us around to a few different places. A lot of Jessie's friends were there to help her celebrate. All in all, I think a good time was had by all.

Life is a Circus

Yesterday, Lee, Sofia and I went to the Shrine Circus up in Fargo. I really thought Sofia would enjoy it. Sadly, I was mistaken. She was excited at first but lost interest quickly. The rest of the show was spent trying to keep her occupied enough to sit still. Not an easy task. Oh well. We now know better.

I guess since I've last written, not a whole lot has gone on. We lead pretty boring lives. :) Sofia's other 2 front teeth finally popped through. So now she only has spaces where her canines should be. I have no idea when those will make their appearance, but I'm sure they'll show sometime. She's saying more words every day, and is pretty good with colors, ABC's, and 123's. She loves being outside, so I'm glad the weather is finally turning that corner.

We've got a lot coming up in the next month with Jessie's shower, wedding, and my Grandma's 100th birthday. Hopefully I'll have sense enough to be taking pictures. We shall see.

Until then, here are some circus pictures from yesterday.
