Matthew and Nancy got married.

Over Mother's Day weekend I got to go BY MYSELF (bestest gift ever!!!) to Missouri for my brother's wedding. It was a WONDERFUL. I can't even begin to tell you how much fun I had. The Strohl's know how to throw a party and we sure didn't disappoint this time.

Nancy is a wonderful person and she and Matthew seem very happy together. Not only did we gain a new sister but also two great kids. Kelsie and Logan are joining our crazy family as well!

I am sure the stories from the weekend will be shared over and over as the years pass. I guess that means you will have to get together with one of us to hear them. =) Here are a few pics from the weekend.

Really Mom...there is!!!

Tyler: "Mom, there's a snake in the pool".

Me: "No there isn't. Hurry up and let the dog in Tyler, we are going to be late for swim lessons."

Tyler: "Really Mom, there is a snake out there."

Me: "Hurry Up!"

Emma: "Mommy, there REALLY is a snake out there by the pool."

Me: "Guys, it is just the pool vacuum. Now let's GO!"

Tyler: "Mom, Come here!"

Me: Oh My God--that IS a snake! GET IN THE HOUSE NOW!!!!!!!

Me: "Stay right here I am running next door to get Papa Steve!"

Papa Steve: "Oh...that's just a Bull snake, they are good. They keep the Rattle Snakes away."

Me: "Yeah. OK. But, it is A SNAKE and I need it GONE!!!!!!"
