Best Friends, Cousins, AND Lumberjacks...



Memorial Weekend Yard Work...





We had a busy holiday weekend here. On Sunday Molly and I went into town and bought flowers for our gardens. This year I'm attempting perennials. (I know it's probably not tough, and they come back automatically, but it's new to me!) Petunias are always a safe bet, plus planted some pumpkin seeds behind the garage, and hope to see 6 foot sun flowers by fall. Meanwhile, the boys were cutting down trees...

A Makeover or Makeup Consultation?


The day after the shower, my mom and I went to the mall and learned how to do our makeup the day of the wedding :) I joked that we were were getting makeovers, but when I left looking amazingly similar to when I arrived, I knew what I had just experienced was a makeup consultation....

A Beautiful Bridal Shower...












On May 20th I enjoyed a bridal shower given by Sean's great aunt Ginger, and great uncle Jack in Roseville. It was an afternoon I'll always remember. I enjoyed introducing the many women in Sean's family to my mom, sister, best friend, and grandmother. The theme of the shower was "Around the Clock" and I received gifts that would keep me busy all day long! A waffle maker, gardening supplies, kitchen utensils, wine glasses, games, pajamas, among other things. From the first day I met each member of sean's family, I felt instantly welcome, and I felt that way once again in the company of 20+ amazing women.

Mother's Day Weekend



We celebrated Mother's Day with Molly on Saturday. We went go-karting in Burnsville then out for dinner in Minnetonka. On Sunday I picked up my mom and we joined Jeannie, Rhea, Ellie and Erin for the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure at the Mall of America. It was a wonderful weekend spent with our 2 favorite moms!
