Saturday we went to Josh's friend David's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding. When they left the reception they released doves. I hope you can see it in this picture. I had never seen this done before and I thought it was a great idea. Looks a little different than the 5,000 pounds of bird seed that was dumped on our heads as we left our wedding. This was definitely a better picture moment! LOL! Melissa's dress was gorgeous. I love weddings.



Sunday we took this picture before we left for church. Hannah was not smiling because she figured out something was on her head and she didn't like it. She didn't make it to church with the headband!

Sunday afternoon I was reading the paper. Hannah loves paper. I think she is part goat. I gave her the Direct TV ad that was in the paper. (We aren't going to get cable any time soon so why do I need the ad!) She was playing in the floor and she had crawled into her BeBe Pod and there she was "reading" the newspaper. Of course, by the time I got the camera she was looking at me but I still thought this was funny. She has learned how to climb onto things now. Sunday night I was cooking dinner. I made sure she was far enough away from the stove to take my casserole out of the oven. By the time I turned around she was almost to the seat in her high chair!! It scared me to death! She got a little pop for that. Oh my, she is a MESS!

In other news, I am very thankful today! My little brother, Kyle was in a serious car accident last night, but he is okay. He is a paramedic and was driving the ambulance (not transporting anyone thank goodness!) A car swerved into their lane and hit them head on - flipping the ambulance a few times. He is really sore but his seat belt saved him. His partner is okay too. There is a reason for seat belts! They saved his life last night!

Something to think about...

This was an email that my aunt Carla sent to me. I thought it was worth sharing. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING

A message every adult should read, because children are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately wanted to paint another one.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you feed a stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make my favorite cake for me and I learned that the little things can be the special things in life.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I heard you say a prayer, and I knew there is a God I could always talk to and I learned to trust in God.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make a meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I learned that we all have to help take care of each other.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you give of your time and money to help people who had nothing and I learned that those who have something should give to those who don't.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you take care of our house and everyone in it and I learned we have to take care of what we are given.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw how you handled your responsibilities, even when you didn't feel good and I learned that I would have to be responsible when I grow up.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw tears come from your eyes and I learned that sometimes things hurt, but it's all right to cry.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw that you cared and I wanted to be everything that I could be.

When you thought I wasn't looking,I learned most of lessons that I need to know to be a good and productive person when I grow up.

When you thought I wasn't looking,I looked at you and wanted to say, "Thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn't looking."

As promised...

We had a good time going to Decatur on Sunday morning. I love visiting my grandparents. They are so funny to me! I also got to see Aunt Sandra but Shannon was sick. :( They will be able to come to Hannah's birthday party and I am happy.

This week should be uneventful. So my blog may be a little boring. Clay spent the night with us last night and he is spending the day with us today. Hannah was so excited when Clay got out of bed this morning. I think she forgot he was here last night before she went to bed.

Anyway, I just wanted to post the pictures like I promised.

Edit: **I knew that when I was typing "this week should be uneventful" that I was setting myself up for trouble. As soon as I hit "post" Clay called my name. He went to the bathroom and was trying to wash his hands. Hannah figured out he was in there and the door was opened (it is always shut these days). So, I go to find out what Clay needs and there is Hannah splashing in the toilet water! Thankfully, Clay had already flushed. Well maybe this week will be eventful after all! LOL!
