riding home

The Queen and The Diva

Just a little imagination and entertainment in the Tudor Room at IU

Sleeping off the big party weekend

Fun-filled weekends leave us all tuckered out for the ride home...

Bell

Bean

Well, for about 40 minutes. Then they were wide awake again.

Cake and phone calls

There was dancing (videos at a later date)

Then the cake came...

getting a little sleepy...

Next day fun - 

The girls were calling each other from our adjoining rooms.

They thought it was great!

Loved the job of passing out bubbles

 Blowing bubbles was a highlight. 

Chatting w/ the maid of honor!

every once in a while we take pictures of ourselves 

I know, I know, very poor photography here... i had 2 seconds and i sorta missed.

just for fun

Just a fun one!

pre-wedding fun

Getting ready before the ceremony!

 Girls hanging out in the Tudor room earlier in the day.

Wedding Weekend!!

What a fantastic weekend we had celebrating Chris and Jennifer's wedding! The girls had a blast!!

The rehearsal dinner was a lot of fun.

They found great ways to entertain themselves!

 The happy couple!

Oh to get a family picture!

Bean and Bell with their treasures. They purchased ponies with money from great grandma and dick and patty. :)

Great Ones

A few recent gems:

While in the bathtub the girls were referring to each other as "Swimalicious" and "Swimtastic". 

"We are the underpants girls. We save everyone whose name is underpants. That's our mission!"-the underpants girls

"My lullaby is called God is the King of Heaven." ....singing... "God is the King of heaven. This is what I know. 'cause he's strong and he helps people. God is the King of heaven." -Bell

"When I was in the car with Grandma, I was thinking about praying to a sticker and then I remembered the story in the Bible and I prayed to God instead." -Bean

Classroom dress up

Hanging out in Mommy's classroom!

twin rainbows

Just a reminder that God is Awesome. (that word might be over used, but it is the only word for this)

What a testament to God's majesty and love for His people.

I was so anxious and worried about putting together a classroom from scratch in 5 days... and then this...

I have never seen a rainbow so vibrant! I've never even seen a double rainbow at all. I've certainly never seen a vibrant double rainbow that is visible all the way from it's beginning to it's end... if rainbows even really have beginnings and ends.

It was a breathtaking (again an overused word, but so true in this case) reminder that God is here. Sometimes He works through light reflecting off of water droplets... some people might say that's just naturally how things work...water reflecting light and all... but I know who made the laws of science. He's awesome.
