Biking for a cause!



Carsyn participated in a trike-a-thon at preschool to help raise money for St. Judes Children's Hospital. It was a huge success. The school raised just over $12,000! And of course the kids had a great time riding!

More Wedding Fun



This weekend a reception for Lynn and Dustin was held in Springfield to celebrate their marriage. I think this may have been the final chapter in the story of the wedding! We are so glad they managed to get here so we had one more chance to celebrate (and of course eat too much!)

All Dolled Up




Here are some pictures of the most important people in the wedding. Aunt Lynn(the bride)Uncle Dustin (the groom) and of course the flower girls! Aunt Reesha made the cut also, she was a bridesmaid. Doesn't everyone look great?

Wedding Prep






Here's a few pictures of the beautiful flower girls as they waited patiently for the big moment. They were so excited when it came time to line up and get ready to go!

A little Dancing




The girls were ready to let loose and party after being so well behaved during the ceremony. Here's a few shots of the party girls!

After the Wedding






After the wedding festivities were over we headed out to Virginia Beach where we enjoyed the amazing hospitality of our friends Andy, Abbey and Owen Cook. They scouted out some great stuff for us to do while we were there. We visited the Virginia Aquarium, watched an IMAX movie about whales and dolphins, climbed Mt. Trashmore, and best of all spent a little time at the beach!

Playtime in Oklahoma






Last weekend we went to Oklahoma City. Zach was swimming there and Grandma and Grandpa were flying in to watch. Since it wasn't too far to go for a weekend, we packed up and headed out. Zach didn't swim until late Saturday afternoon so we had some time to play. First we visited the Oklahoma City Memorial where the bombing of the Federal Building occurred in 1995. It is a wonderful tribute to the people who were killed that day.

On a lighter note, we took advantage of some nice weather and played miniature golf. I didn't think the kids' attention spans would last 18 holes but they proved me wrong. After golf we had time to play some games. Cayden and Grandpa Fetch were quite serious about these pinball games.
