Summer Pics

While I'm out of school for the summer, I'm trying to soak up as much time with the girls as possible.  I realized last week I had not taken any pictures of them since Thanksgiving.  So...Sister and I loaded up early Friday morning and took them to the Botanical Gardens.  They cooperated about as well as you think a 4 1/2 year old and 18 month old would!  haha  Here are a few of my faves!

Bailey's Baby Shower

We hosted Bailey's baby shower a couple weekends ago at Olexa's here in B'ham.  Bailey is due in late July with a boy, William Partlow Chambers.  Both Bailey and William were showered with lots of love and presents! 

Our hydrangeas served as the perfect centerpiece!

A monogram napkin and fun straw made the tables look super-cute!

Favors from Icing on the Cookie...delish!

Loved having all of our friends in town...great to see these two mommas...Bess and JJ!

Bailey and her mother in law, Mrs. Chambers

Me, JJ and Bess

Diapers were passed around for everyone to write a message on...I'm sure they will provide a few laughs when Bailey and Porter put them to good use!

She received so many beautiful presents!

Bailey's precious niece, MaryAnne loved all the pretty presents!

My old roomie is due in August...can't believe she's having a little baby girl of her own!

Bails, we can't wait to meet sweet William...let the countdown 'til his arrival begin!

Kinzi's Destination Wedding

Well...she's married!!  Kinzi and Kris tied the knot two weeks ago on the beautiful island on Antigua...absolute paradise!  I was fortunate enough to be able to go and stand next to my BFF on her wedding day.  It was an emotional couple of days, (think I cried more than the bride!) but it was a trip that I will never forget!

Varner and I met up in Miami and roomed together in Antigua...we loved being greeted with a glass of champs when we arrived at the hotel!

The lobby of the hotel was gorgeous!

We had just a couple of hours to get changed and then we were off to the rehearsal...we found the bride-to-be and she was ready to kick off the festivities!

Me, Varner, Kinzi, Kinzi's mom and Stacy

I sure do love these two!

 

The flame dancer at the rehearsal dinner was quite entertaining!

Friday morning it was time for the bridesmaid's brunch!

We loved our yummy breakfast in the beautiful gazebo by the pool!

Just a couple of hours before her wedding we were relaxing in the pool!

Kinzi had thought of every detail...we loved the snacks her private butler brought us to munch on while we were getting ready!

Kinzi had these charms made to tie on her bouquet...Kris' mom on the left and Kinzi's dad on the right.  They were there with her in spirit!

Her flip flops were perfect for the beach!

Loved using our koozies during our vacay!

The beautiful bride!  She was stunning and I seriously don't think she has ever looked prettier.

Kinzi's mom, sister and the bride!

She looked as if she had stepped right out of a bridal magazine!

Family pictures after the wedding!

LOVED getting to spend time with TT and Jonathan while we were there!

Varner and Stacy

The whole family

My favorite picture of the trip...Kinzi and her mom.

Bridal party!

I had to steal the bride away for a quick pic!

The reception looked like it was out of a movie...right on the beach and absolutely gorgeous!

 

Saturday, Varner and I spent the day relaxing at the beach...

and at the pool.  It was beautiful!

Kinzi and KT, you're married...woo-hoo!  I am so happy for the two of you.  I truly don't know when I've seen two people happier.  Love y'all!
