What Kowe did while we were away....

She got spoiled, that's what she did!! She stayed with Josh's parents and we definitely don't think she wanted to come home!! She got walks and all kinds of play time, and very little cage time, not to mention all the treats a little girl could want! Here are some cute pics that they took. We missed her so much while we were gone, but somehow, we don't think she quite felt the same!

Playing And Lounging,
And relaxing,
And, yes, mowing! These pictures are hilarious!! She HATES the lawnmower when Josh mowes, but nope, put her Papa on a mower, and all of a sudden it's the best thing ever! Hmm, this is a bit of an insight as to what things will probably be like when we have kids...



Thanks you guys for watching her. We really appreciate it.

Wedding Week Pics...

Okay, here will be a few posts with some pictures from the wedding week. It's been an amazing week and now we're getting ready to head out for the honeymoon!! I just thought I'd give a sneak peak at some of the pics to come...we'll see ya on the other side!!! :)

Here are some pics from the pre-wedding happenings...

On Thursday, Shell took me to Samson & Delilah's for a massage and pedicure...can you tell we were relaxed?!?!

Then Thursday night, Lisa and Travis & Lilian got in, so we all met for dinner at Puccinni's. It was pretty fun and then we went to Jess & Fritz's to finish programs.Friday night was the rehearsal. Patty & Ronnie made it look so amazing..you can see the tables and the chocolate fountain..And here is a pic with all of the couples..
And here's Bub, me and ShellBest of all, here is the cutest picture ever. Patty made Kowe a wedding dress and veil. She looks so adorable. The veil didn't stay on for long, but the dress looked so cute on her. We're going to miss her so much!!!

Lastly, here is a pic of my hair...wow, do I have some hair!! Lotsa curls there...but I loved it and Kelsey did such an amazing job...she's a miracle worker!

...goin' to the chapel...

Some Reception Pics...

Our first dance...(Mark Wills, I Do (Cherish You)) Here are the Wyoming Grads with the Cowboy Joe Groomscake...it looked pretty good...tasted even better!
I love this one of everyone dancing....you can see Jess really getting into it, then Ronnie and Patty groovin' and then Aunt Kathy and my arm...Here are Jeremy & Josh (my Handsome Husband, hehe)....hmm, had much to drink, guys?!Here's me showing off my bling! :)
Left Foot, One Stomp!!
We had an absolutely amazing time! It was such a fun reception and everyone got up and danced the entire night! The food was great and when we went this morning, the people at Coyote Crossing said that it was their smoothest and funnest reception to date (it was their 30-something'th wedding since opening last year). I think everyone had a good time, which is all Josh and I wanted.

FYI.....

WEDDING WEEK IS HERE!!!!!!!

We can't believe it's already here! Things are going very smoothly thus far...nothing to complain about yet!

But I have had a lot of people who have been asking about our registries since we didn't put anything into the shower invites (per my request...the Knot told me not to! hehe) We are registered at a few different places...our main two are Kohl's (for obvious reasons) and Bed Bath & Beyond. We also have a few things at Target. You can follow the link to the right for our wedding web site and there is a box where you can click to find our registries...or you can do it through their individual web sites. So there you have it...even though it's only two days away and probably useless info at this point, but I have had enough people ask me that I thought it would be worth putting on here.

The rest of this week is going to go so fast!!! Tomorrow I have a massage and pedicure with my sister, then we meet with the reception site for our final counts and whatnot. Then tomorrow afternoon, Travis & Lilian get in from Colorado and Lisa will be in from Wyoming, so we're really excited to see them! We're going to have a bridal party dinner out and then go back to Jess & Fritz's so we can finish programs and the guys can watch football. Friday we have the rehearsal and then Saturday is THE BIG DAY!!!!

Sunday is a free day for us, we're going to try to relax, so hopefully I can get a blog posted with pics from our rehearsal & rehearsal dinner as well as some from the wedding hopefully.

Wish us luck!!!!

bachelorette party continued....

...me taking a break from presents to sip a beer:)I wonder what was so funny! Abby was very into the conversation!
I love this pic of Shell and I even though it's very blurry...
Me, Bub, Shell
Bub and PattyShots for the sisters!! Abby seems to be getting some wise advice from Penny...

As for Josh's bachelor party...well, the boys were given strict orders to take some pics, but somehow they "forgot." Josh says that what was said in the bachelor party should remain at the bachelor party. (the same should PROBABLY hold true for mine, but it was too fun not to share!) The only problem with Josh's rule is that no one else who was there seemed to think it was a good rule, so they all spilled the beans on their conversations!! We'll just leave it at that... Either way, we both had a great time and it was a nice release right before this hectic week!!!

Bachelorette Party Fun!!

Here are some pics from the bachelorette party! It was so so so so fun!! Needless to say, when you put 15 Women in a room together with lots of martinis and margaritas and jello shots (among other things) along with lots of funny silly games and toys....you learn a lot about the people in the room! :) It was really fun and I thought I would share some of the pics that I could....

Just some background...the rule was that everyone was supposed to wear an old bridesmaids gown to get in the wedding mood. It was a good way to get use out of the things that would otherwise sit in the closet forever...or, for me, it was a good excuse to go buy a cheap dorky dress from Penney's!

Here's the start of the party as people started filtering in... Then it was time for a jello shot with my good friends, Trish and Jess.

Next, Penny arrived with an ice cube for me...which was incredibly difficult to get out of the mold and which repeatedly hit me in the nose ALL night long!

Then it was time for Shell (in her gloriously 80s dress) to get the games started!

Here's me having another margarita!
Then it was present time! It was hilarious to say the least...

....this is the point where things start to get a little crazy! I'll have to do another post because Blogger isn't letting me add anymore pictures right now...
