Natalie & Mike's Wedding (October 6, 2012)

Here are some pictures from the weekend we spent in Tallahassee for Mike and Natalie's wedding. It was beautiful, and we had a wonderful time! We miss and love our friends so much!

love all the beautiful trees in their yard

rehearsal dinner

such a lovely couple!

One of my favorite pictures - not only are they just having fun dancing - who knew Mike had such mad dance skills - but Sasha was watching them and having just as much fun. Sasha, the beautiful dog in this picture passed away yesterday. She was such a wonderful dog and will be missed!

September Updates in Pictures

Here are some of the things we've been doing in September. Addi and Scott spent a week at Folly with Ricky and Marie - I went for one day - but those pictures will get their own post later. Dance is going well and getting better. She is still shy with some the individual activities but she is enjoying it. She started Sunday school, and we joined the church I grew up in so we spend Sunday with my parents usually. All is well although really hectic as I try to do my best to finish and graduate this semester.

Addi likes to dress herself now and her way of matching means that the colors match (pink and pink for example)

picking grapes in Sitti and Papa's backyard

One of our last swims before it got too cold

Our little tiger! She told me the other day that not all of her friends at school knew the tiger song. But that was okay because she was teaching it to them and making sure they did it really loud. She couldn't believe there were people who DIDN'T know it :)

We get this face pretty often -it is the "I'm trying to do something, stop bugging me" face

Couldn't resist it - those ringlets are so pretty!

We are teaching Addi how to get Dylan to listen to her and do tricks

Cute Cholly! He is seriously just adorable!

Addi and Dana playing with stickers

Tried to get a picture of all three but that was pretty hard!

When Michelle and Jocelyn joined us for church, Addi wanted to hold her (and did for half of Mass)

Addi just wants to play Barbies with Joce and did not want to take any more pictures

Feeding the goats at the fair! Addi never tires of feeding the animals

She was tall enough to ride some of the rides this year and wasn't scared of them! She drove the pink truck many times

Just cruisin'

If you've known me long, you know my favorite ride is the swings! I LOVE this ride! Addi cried when I first got on the ride because she wanted to ride too. She got upset about a few rides because she wasn't tall enough. We had to explain that just like we can't ride in the cars with her because we are too big, she can't ride with us because she is too small.

Happy 11th Birthday, Dylan!

Dylan turned 11 yesterday. We are so grateful for her. It seems like only yesterday that I was convincing Scott that we needed a dog (one that had to live at his apartment since mine wouldn't allow animals), and he said that if his roommates agreed he was game. Little did he know that they wanted a dog just as much as I did! We headed to the shelter to pick out a puppy that day and were able to pick her up only a week or so later.

Addi's First Clemson Football Game

We headed to Clemson this weekend for the Clemson-Ball State football game. With Addi in tow, we stayed with Pat and Libbi and had a wonderful time! Addi loved tailgating and playing with friends. She basically just ran around and threw the Clemson coin purse all over the place chasing it with other kids. She was bummed that she didn't get to hug the tiger. We only lasted in the game one quarter as it was really, really hot. Then we headed out of the game, had frozen lemonade, and watched the game at the tailgate. It was a great time and she told us she wants to go again!!! GO TIGERS!
