King Wedding
Another wedding in November, for yet another dear friends daughter. They helped so much at Cayla’s wedding, and we were thrilled to help them! It was at the Dasher House and they married at the gazebo! Now, the gazebo is pretty, buy when you sit….you see the ugly fan and you see the fluorescent lights, the silver pipe for wiring, and the back of a building! Not what you want to see in your pictures!
I decided that I would need to cover that up, with tulle maybe. Then my ma-in-law and I went and measured and I decided I did not have enough tulle. Fabric would be expensive too! I found some tablecloths and that is what we used for the ceiling!
I made another chandelier, but she did not want candles….so I used an iron piece off of my wall, draped flowers from it, added ribbon….and lights…pretty!!!
Cayla and I hung the iron piece and draped the ceiling on Friday….smart choice!!! Oh me, at one point I said….do we just need to ditch this idea??? No, it looks better, lets keep going!!! And it turned out so pretty!!! There are a few things added by another friend, Vicky! The green bows on the Sheppard's hooks and the flower balls, the pink scarf and the flower arrangements at the gazebo! And it all came together!!!
Trick of Treat
I have not been trick or treating in a few years. I turned that job over to the kids, but it is so much fun watching them! This year I got to go with both of my girls and their kids. Bart was able to go and Josie came along also and they made it all the more fun! We went to Casey and Barts…they live in Hahira. This are our first pictures of the kids!!! 
It was so cute. Cayden did not know what to think of these two! He got fine with it after a little bit!
Josie made a treat box for each of the kids, so creative and the brownie was good!!! So glad she came with us, we love our Josie!!!
Fun times!

A fun family night!!!
Fiveash Wedding
A dear friend of mine is getting married, one of my girls ( ball players)! I told her and her Mom that I would help decorate and loan them my wedding stuff! A family member loaned my “stuff” to a friend of hers in September for her wedding. So, I had it sitting in a room at my house waiting for Sarah’s wedding. On the day her Mom was coming to get it, I decided I would open it and take a look. I knew it looked smaller than what I sent.
I am seeing red at this point!
First, they took apart two arrangements I had made and combined them into one, and it did not look better I might add! Second, the tulle was tied up in knots and just in a mess. Third, they smashed my bows!!! Now I had them in three containers, small-med-large. One would think you would return them as you found them….not. I had to fluff the bows up, put the tulle in the dryer and get the wrinkles out, re-make the flower arrangements. Diane and Marsha helped me and I was so thankful! But, my stuff will only be going to weddings that I attend and help take it down!!! And I will be the loaner!!! LOL!!!
Anyway, an outside wedding is a whole lot of work for sure! But Sarah and RJ had a gorgeous wedding and I felt so good to have helped! Cayla, Casey, Missy, Debra, Mickey and Jerry McMullen helped too! And my Mother-in-law….she is always at my side!!! Thanks to all of you!!!
I made a chandelier to hang at the pergola and some bows. I found some fern in the ditch that I wanted to use so I put my snake boots on, with my shorts and a hat, cut that on Friday and let it soak! I had planned on putting out the Sheppard's hooks on Friday but they did not arrive on Friday! When I arrived Friday afternoon, not one chair had been set up for rehearsal, so….check!!! That was a lot of chairs! Hung some hooks it the tree also!
Sat. morning comes. We arrive at my in-laws around 6:45 and begin cutting ivy from her tree, it is still dark…but we have a flashlight!!! On to Lake Park, arrival time 7:45! Still no truck with Sheppard's hooks! Cayla and I go ahead and set up the guest book table! Mickey and Debra arrive at 8:00. We begin hanging our greenery. Little Jerry comes and we think we are not going to have to attach the columns to keep them from blowing because it is not windy.
We get it decorated and I went to check out some other decor going on. At about 12:30 the wind picked up, began to blow over the columns, we had to call Jerry back. That meant we had to wrap the wood with tulle…..pull hair out!!!
Next, on to the reception hall. No plates were out of the bins, or glasses! Oh my, Thank goodness Brenda Hunter came by and Joyce was there!!! With the help of them and Cayla, we did get the items out of the bins and stacked. Then we had to go and get dressed and feed Cayla and Bentley!
We were back in about an hour and a half. It was a very sweet wedding for a very sweet couple.
Sunday, Cayden, Cayla and I are in the den. He is trying his best to walk and is doing pretty good. We got so tickled!
He was tucking one of his arms….. about on his hip and walking stiff legged. Plus doing his excited nose noise!!! It was the cutest thing ever! He just keeps those toes curled up so tight it is hard to balance…it runs in the family!!!
We knew that Kylie had to be under the weather Sunday. She was just crying about any and everything. Plus, she took a 2 hour nap!!!
She wanted to stay with MamaJ Sunday night and of course, she did! I asked her if her ears hurt, no. Then she told me….You know how I told you that I had a kink in my neck last week? Well, I have that again and it is hurting really bad. I felt her head and it felt warm. Casey gave her some Tylenol.
We went upstairs to sleep because it is the only quiet spot in the house! She had the wiggle’s, could not be still!!! I did not want to get on to her to much, because I knew she was ill! Finally I told her to practice her star fish from swim. Arms our relaxing, no moving…and remember to squeeze those butt cheeks together…then the laughter began. But, she did practice her star fish and did fall asleep.
She went to the doctor Monday….she does have strep, again!
When school is out, not strep…..when school is in….strep!!!
Cayden and I rode the tractor today! I really did not think he would like it because of the noise…but he loved it and fell asleep! He is trying to walk and can take a few steps. He just gets so excited that he can’t contain himself!!! He begins to walk and starts breathing real fast through his nose and grinning!!! Too cut!
