From being out and about across America over the last couple weeks, this past week at home has sure been weird. But it has been so nice to be home! So nice in fact, I haven't left my house since Saturday! Of course, only one of those days was because of a headache, and of course it was on Sunday. Bah. The rest of the week has been bridal shower centered, I can't believe this time Saturday it'll all be over but then there are still 4 full days of best friend time. Can not wait! 8/peek-a-boo, 9/2 o'clock, 10/beverage, 11/i love doing this!, 12/macro, 13/fast, 14/trash, 15/the best I follow Fat Mum Slim's blog for the Photo A Day prompts, join us for the month of August!

You may know these handsome fellas' dad, Keith from my posts on Rooftop Barbeque. Keith has been competing in BBQ alongside Andy pretty much from day one. And along with their dad, these boys come to quite a few competitions to help out the team whether its selling food or cleaning up the pit after the competition. They are by far some of the sweetest, most polite guys I know! The whole family even came over last year and spent their whole Memorial Day, Sunday helping us fill in our backyard planter with rocks! Anyway, all that to say, this photo shoot was a long time coming! And just in time for Nick's senior photos too! We went to one of my usual spots in Menifee because of the easy access to the massive rocks! And what followed was quite an adventure as it was my first time photographing a group of guys! And a special thanks goes out to my professional photo retoucher husband for taking care of editing and retouching these photos for me!

While I'm away here in Maine, I still wanted to make sure I kept my usual post schedule. So while I get to be with this little cutie and her family in person this week, I wanted to share some photos of our time we spent back on the west coast at the San Diego Botanic Garden! I mean look at those thighs! :) How adorable is their little family of 3! And I know I'll get some *loving* feedback but I just had to post these photos of my parents loving on their new great (or is it grand?) niece. Oh and hey, Andy and I even got a photo together too! Now that is a rare occassion! And then the trip wouldn't be complete without a walk along the Pacific coast. Looking forward to posting even more photos of this adorable family once I get back from being here on the east coast! :)

Miss Amelia made her debut a few weeks early, gracing us with her presence on June 8, just weeks after her baby shower. Rachel and I wasted no time in getting together for photos exactly on her one week birthday. The little princess did not want to show us her skin but I did manage to snap my favorite photo before we bundled her back up! She just loved being close to her mama

To say that I love my friends would be an understatement. What I truly mean is that having a solid group of Christian girls means that our friendship goes deeper, more like sisters. Being a Christian means that your fellow Christian friends can be so so very different from each other in personality, likes, and dislikes but our foundation is on Christ and that alone can unite us as better than friends. And this very special group of girls and I have transformed the normal "bachelorette party" from a night on the town to a weekend away celebrating the bride to be in all the things she likes to do. It usually means planning a weekend in a city an hour-ish away, going on mini adventures centered around what that special girl would want to do on a dream weekend. For our friend Kathleen, that meant coffee, craft shows, and good food. And while Kathleen and my styles can be polar opposites, that weekend sounded like it was planned for me too. Aaaalll that to say, I was quite excited for our girls weekend! Here's just a few photos of the bride celebrating the weekend away with her girlfriends with just one week

Oh man have I been excited to post about Kathleen's amazing shower. Down to the smallest detail, I loved every little bit of it! And it was quite a combination of decorations starting with quite a few DIYs, Amie's upcoming wedding (thanks again Amie!), my travel themed living room, the Rooftop BBQ trailer (recognize that chalkboard above?), and even a potato sack from Lauren's Central Park shower (see that "coffee bean" sack above?)! Let's start with the invitation though, shall we? While driving home from the hospital on the day Parker was born, Lauren (Kathleen's wonderful matron of honor) and I were brainstorming about shower decoration possibilities. We had long ago settled on a travel cafe theme and with the spark of the idea of a muffin and coffee mug sitting on top of a suitcase, the invitation came to be. Funnily enough, when talking with the bride about her wedding invitations, we went with the tall and slender business size for those as well! And speaking of the bride
