Joey + Chelsea

We had a wedding shower at church for Joey Ballard and Chelsea Nester this past weekend.  The happy couple will be getting married in St. Louis, MO on June the 2nd.    Joey and his family worshipped in Blossom for many years before Joey's dad, David, started preaching in Pattonville.  We miss this family very much, but know they are needed and doing good work in Pattonville.  

Since we still had all the pretty decorations from Ladies Day handy, we used those to decorate for the shower.

The happy couple :)

 The happy couple with two of the hostesses:  Lenita and myself.  Mel Butler was a hostess also, but was home with Ryan who was sick.

Congratulations Joey and Chelsea!!

Fence Building

We FINALLY starting working on our fence which was in much need of replacement.  We replaced the east side this past weekend.  Hopefully we will finish the back before too long.

 And this is how her work turned out.  Not as easy as she thought.

 So she decided to give the dogs a bath

Thank you Rod!

Happy 88th Birthday Maw Maw

Yesterday was my Maw Maw's 88th birthday!  She didn't want a big party this year, but she did want some Mexican food.  So for lunch I met her, my mom, my uncle and three of my cousins at Ta molly's.

The birthday girl - who happens to be the world's greatest grandma

 me, my Uncle Mike, my cousins Teri and Kristin

 My mom, cousin Kathy and Maw Maw 

 And last night we went over to visit my Maw Maw and eat birthday cake.  My mom had a birthday cake made for her, but my Maw Maw also made a strawberry cake and chocolate cake to make sure everyone had the kind of cake they wanted.  Love her!

Happy Birthday to the sweetest woman I know, who I am lucky enough to have for a grandmother!!  

Ladies Day 2012

After weeks of planning and preparation, the big day finally arrived - our 7th annual Ladies Day.  I do believe it was a great success - 120 ladies in attendance!  Ladies from several area congregations joined us for a morning filled with fun, fellowship and Bible study.  Sarah Fallis from the Dallas area was our speaker and did an outstanding job!  Our topic this morning was "Let you relationship with God blossom."  

We decorated with a spring theme, and I think all the decorations turned out super cute.

Alice and Becky sat at the registration table and made sure everyone signed in and got a name tag

Courtney and Laverne -  Rod's great aunt.  She lives in Antlers and we don't see her that much now that Nanny and Popa have gone.  It was so good to see her.

Amy gave the welcome

Just look at that crowd!

I loved having my mom there!

Amy and Avery

About half way through Ladies Day, Avery decided she would take a little power nap.

Little miss Laila was our youngest lady in attendance

For lunch, we had chicken salad, vermicelli salad and frozen fruit salad

We had to add a couple of tables out in the foyer so everyone would have a seat.  That is a great problem to have!

Ladies Day 2012 another big success!
