it's coming through our wall...that's right, you are looking at a picture INSIDE the store with no holes or widows!!! How does that happen? The vine is coming through the wall...do we cut it? Leave it? Oh the problems we have!!!

When we're not together at CW, we're together on the water.

Picture this: boat, water, blue sky, smiles, watermelon, music, loud motors, green trees & relaxation.
What a WONDERFUL DAY!!!

But before heading out on the big blue (or green) glass...we first had to drive the boat under the bridge. Hummm?

Scouting out the situation...
Do you think we'll make it?

It was definitely cutting it short...but we slipped right on through with a few feet to spare.

Meet our captain...AKA Dad

Sonj, cute little Eli & Bekah

*Livin' the Life*

There she is...not only does she have a drive for decorating, she's also got a need for speed!!!

I think he's wondering when it's his turn...

I forgot to mention...this was our new toy.
Welcome to the family Mr. Jet, you're a definite keeper.

After an hour or so of persuading the little guys...they finally said "YES, I wanna go!"

By the end of the day...this is pretty much what we all looked like.

It was a perfect summer day, full of lots of memories!!!
Until next time...

Just Another Day...

Saturday, July 4...while everyone was out and about doin' the picnic thing, my mom and I were living life here at CW.

After doing the normal routine stuff...
turning on all 10,000 lights (slight exaggeration), setting up outside, making coffee, checking the business e-mail, sorting and organizing Ele Ela's, and sweeping off the dusty front porch...

it was time to sit down and wait for some creative juices to flow from our brains.
Yep, it was time to rearrange!!!
After coming up with a plan, I realized...

this was going to be a major project & it could potentially take ALL DAY.

So to give us some energy...we once again got our fix at the neighboring Turkey Hill & then dove right into it!
After lots of pushing, pulling & lifting...we were spent.

So hey, what could be better then a break?

A nap!!!

And a few minutes later we were up and at it again.

And a few hours later, we were done!
Take a look at the changes...

By the way...most times when my mom gets the urge to change the ENTIRE store... in my eyes, it seems like a lot of work and a little overwhelming.
But the truth is, I LOVE IT & I'm thankful I get to do it with HER!

#2 Post of Doug and Jessie's Special Day!

Here's a few more pics of
D&J's Wedding...

D&J...lovebirds, newlyweds, best friends, hubby & wife

More loves birds!!! D&J...follow your parents example in marriage and you'll be in for a wonderful journey together!

Boys Boys and more Boys! What a bunch of cuties!

Little Eli's shoe came off while walking down...i think it probably got stuck in the mud. The problem was solved quickly after stopping the large caravan of munchkins and picking it up.

Jessie's mom did all the flowers, check out her blog for more pictures of the wedding from the brides mom's perspective. *All things beautiful* She's got an amazing gift!

View of the ceremony area...muddy, but still beautiful
