Old Friends

We enjoyed visiting with old friends this week.  It was fun having Lesley, Carolyn, and Adam over on Monday.  

 

Lesley and I have been friends since we were two years old.

The kids had a great time playing in the pool.  We had beautiful weather, nice and hot!  Both kids are quickly learning to swim. 

We visited Ronnie and Janet.  Audrey loved all the dress up clothes. 

                             Martha was excited to meet baby Owen.

 I found Kiki's baby doll Michael.  Alexander quickly adopted him.  He is now wearing the hat from St. Joe East, that was given to Alexander at birth.

 Saturday morning Adam, Alexander, and Audrey headed for Owensboro.  Mommy is enjoying a little vacation, but still missing her big kids.  Saturday we visited with Christi in Lexington.  Later Teresa and Sarah came by to meet baby O.

Owen and Mommy will enjoy a little more time with Mimi.  Sunday mornings on the porch swing are priceless. 

Kelley's Shower

 

Kelley Goins is soon to be Kelley Johnson. 

 We created scrapbook pages for Kelley with special memories or favorite recipes. 

 Mason Jars as glasses suits Kelley perfectly.  I will always think of her mom, Janet, when canning or preserving fruits and vegetables from her garden.  She sent me home with a jar of strawberry and peach jam last night.  Can't wait to enjoy them. 

                     Most of the shower was Pinterest inspired. 

We had lots of yummy food.  

Kelley's  sister, Krista, and I had fun planning this special day for Kelley.  We are looking forward to the big day in October.  Another reason to come to Kentucky this fall.  Yay!

Lots more pictures to come when we get back to Nebraska where I can get pictures off of the other camera. 

Fun with the New Camera at the Capitol

Summer Week 4 - It's Going Too Fast

We went to a Lexington Legends Baseball game on Tuesday evening.   After reaching our seats, Alexander was  begging to play at the kids' play area.  I set the timer for 10 minutes and then we went to play.  He enjoyed bouncing, playing soccer, and baseball.  We didn't see much of the game, but we had a great time with Sarah and Caroline.  

 

          Audrey was studying the program.

The kids enjoyed visiting with their great grandmother, Nana. 

Owen and I took Jessica to dinner at Coba Cocina for her birthday. We had a great time. 

Mimi enjoys her sweet snuggles with baby Owen. 

Friday we went to Juniper Hills park for a picnic and play time.  It was a beautiful day. 

We were so proud of Carter for winning second place in the Frankfort Country Club's Junior Golf Tournament.  Way to go, Carter Tate. 

After our busy morning at the park Owen and Alexander enjoyed a nap on the porch.  Mommy used to take naps in the swing on that same porch when she was a teenager. 

Adam took the kids to Southern Seminary in Louisville while Mommy and Mimi prepared for Kelley's bridal shower. 




                       
Sunday night we visited Uncle Derrick and his family.  We see some resemblance between Owen and Derrick.  Audrey and Alexander enjoyed playing with Conner and Carson. It was a busy week.  We had lots of fun.  In the midst of all our play we had a special wedding shower for Kelley.  There will be a separate post about that.  We have one more week in Frankfort and many more people to visit, so we better get busy.
