Bridal Shower & Bees

Nicole's Bridal Shower

My cousin, Nicole, is getting married on October 3rd. So last Saturday, Dylan stayed with Daddy all day while I went to the bridal shower. I obviously won't put up all my pictures because I took quite a few but I had to show off my beautiful little niece & the twins. Oh...and the beautiful bride-to-be of course...it was her party, lol.


Baby Kiersten! I cannot believe how big she is already. I thought they grew fast when they were your own! She is not quite 3 months old but growing up so fast. I even got a smile out of her! She loves her Aunt Brandi.

Kadee & Kaylee enjoying some cheesecake ice cream...mmm! These two girls are so adoable! They love playing with me too. I do have a slight advantage considering I have a little boy the same age at home, ha ha.

My Aunt Joan (Nicole's Mom) taking a break from being a host to relax with one of the twins while Nicole opens her presents.

Nadine, Nicole & Kristi. Nicole relaxing and hanging out with her maid-of-honor and one of her bridesmaids.

Raystown Lake

Sunday, we had originally planned to go to Grandma & Grandpa Gray's house for the day but the boys thought one more trip to the lake couldn't hurt since the weather was so warm, lol. So we headed to Raystown on Labor Day weekend...yes...a holiday weekend, haha. Overall it was a pretty good day. Although I could have gone without all the crazy, stupid bees. There are always bees at the lake and it's expected to run into a few while hanging out there for the day. This day was so different. I don't know why or what happened in the bee world that day but they were all crazy & quite aggressive. Jeff was stung by a bee shortly after we got there. Then a bee stung Dylan on the back of the knee. His reaction was priceless though. He said "hot" and pulled a handful of yellow jacket out from under his leg. There was no crying...no fussing...he just seemed a bit confused about what the heck just happened, lol. His Daddy jumped around for at least 10 seconds or so, ha ha!
Jeff killed couple bees that kept coming back and all of a sudden we were completely surrounded! We relocated a few times with these annoying, stubborn, agressive bees following us pretty much everywhere. Grandma declared a chemical war on them and broke out some bug spray which seemed to finally chill them out enough to leave us alone!!! The rest of the day was great, ha ha!


I managed to get a couple of cool pictures of Jeff jet-skiing. I had to post this one because I managed to catch him mid-fall off the jet-ski, LOL.
