Joe's First Soccer Game

We got to go to Joe's 1st soccer game. It was pretty cute to see a bunch of 4 and 5yr olds trying to play soccer! I do have to say that they did a good job. Joe's not too sure about the whole "game" thing yet. He likes to run off the field while he is supposed to be playing. Brittany is such a good little soccer Mom!!!!
Here is 1 time when he needed a drink while he was supposed to playing. He doesn't quite understand that he has to stay on the field!!!
He must've gotten bored waiting for the ball to come to him. He thought he would try to do some hand stands while waiting :)
He is very good at kicking the ball. He gets a huge smile whenever he kicks it. He makes sure he gets himself in the crowd so he can get to the ball.
Alissa was being shy tonight, so I had to stap a picture while she clung to Jerry's leg. I almost got a smile from her, but she decided not to.

Brittany's Wedding

Brittany has been my best friend since we were in 2nd grade. We had some rough times but have always stuck together!! She got married on August 2nd. Her wedding was held at a nice resturant with a beautiful patio where the actually ceremony was held. The reception was held inside in one the side rooms of the resturant. It was a wonderful wedding even though it was really hot that day!!
Joe and Alissa walking down the aisle. I couldn't really a good picture of them, the way we were sitting.
Brittany and her Dad walking down the aisle. She looked wonderful that day. Her dress was not a typical wedding dress but it was definetly the perfect style for her.
Britt and her new hubby, Jerry dancing their first dance!! Jerry is really a great guy. He is kind of shy, but we are slowly trying to break him of that :)This is their beautiful car that we decorted. It was Chelsey's idea... Yes, those are oreos on the car. Chelsey quickly had to run to 711 to get stuff because we weren't prepared to decorate the car. So oreos and whipped cream was what it was!! It worked pretty well until the oreos started to melt and slide down the car!!
Lisa and I got Britt a secret present. We made her open it and take it with her on her honeymoon (if you get the point). It was interesting trying to keep the kids away while she opened it!!!!!!

Uncle Dan and Grace!! Uncle Dan just loooves to be with and hold Grace!! She also loves when he holds her. He sure knows how to make her smile and laugh!!! She is definetly a pleasure to be around.
A group shot of everyone that came up for the picnic. Thanks to Dad bringing up the tent, we had a little bit of shade. We didn't realize the sun would be beating down on the patio at the time we planned the picnic. We were glad that Dan's parents came up even though it was hard for them. Dan's mom had just gotten surgery on her foot!!!
Mom and I trying to keep the dessert together while we were cutting and serving it!! I let it sit out a little too long and it started to melt. Can you tell the Dad's were ready for dessert?? They were hovering like crazy!!

Cookout at Lisa's

Alissa sitting in the car. She was being stubborn and didn't want to get out after I got my camera out!! She said that she was going to drive us home!!!!
The crazy fire that Chris tried to build!! It ended up falling over once the fire really got started. Chris and Lisa have a really nice fire pit in their backyard!! We were going to roast marshmallows but we forgot them and then all the stores were closed when we went to get some.
Me, Britt, and Lisa in front of the fire. The weather was perfect for a little fire.
