the legitimization of my daughter







shel and i finally tied the knot. we just had a little ceremony with my family and his mom at the park yesterday afternoon and then had a cookout and a lot of fun. it was great and now my last name has two capital letters in it. that rocks. these are only the pics taken on my camera, but as this was just yesterday, these are the pictures i have already. i/ll post more from other cameras as i get them. (okay, this has been sitting here waiting for me to upload the pics, and i now have the ones from val/s camera too. so here/s both)

family reunion

we all got together for my upcoming nuptials this weekend. when we all get together, we usually have fun. and play games. and sometimes. . . spit on my dad :0) there was a lot of rock band played here in the last 24 hours, and i/m expecting there will be alot more. i know i/ve got a post on here somewhere when the rock band was new, but in this one, even my dad is jamming. rock band on!!!




the next morning, vyni drug the chair from the computer (in the other room) back over to the drumset, pulled out the foot pedal, got the drum sticks, and had a little solo jam session of her own. she/s the cutest thing EVER!

hoppy easter

first, on saturday, we went to the park to see the easter bunny. there was actually an egg hunt, but because of my drs appt we were late getting there and had already missed the hunt for her age group :-( but we did get to see the easter bunny, so that/s what counts, right?

then on sunday morning, we came out of our bedroom to find that the easter bunny had not only brought a basket a goodies, but had hidden eggs around the apartment.

so we searched for eggs. . .




(there weren/t any under the couch and that just makes this pictures cuter)


and ate some candy. . .




then we called granny and poppop. . .


and then got dressed up in our easter dress and went to church.





happy easter everyone!!!!!
