The first two cakes are ones we ordered for the surprise party. I think they're pretty funny. Bwahahahahaha. The third one, is my masterpiece! Terese always makes each of us whatever we want to eat and whatever cake we want for our birthday dinner. She wanted wedding cake. So that's what she got....or at least something like it. =) Don't be jealous of my mad cake-decorating skills. She also wanted mexican food for lunch. So Val and I made a taco/burrito bar and enchiladas and it was fabulous.
So I guess the point of this post (if there is one) is that we had a long, fun weekend and I ate WAY too much. Hope you all had a good weekend too. Hang in there - I promise we have plenty of real posts coming soon!
OH, and PS - Peety is home from the vet and is doing well. He had definite inflamation of the eye but they didn't find any scratches or anything else particularly serious. So, Dac's been putting this sab stuff on his eye three times a day and we're hoping by the time it's over, Peety will be 100%. He's already feeling a lot better so that makes me feel better too!
Last night, while we were eating supper, Peety was kind of moping around. We, of course, just kind of blew it off like he just wanted an enchilada too and didn't think much more about it. So we headed off to a very adventurous engagement session with Kayla and Chet (more on that later) and when we got home Peety was still moping and whining, and he wouldn't get more than half a centimeter away from Dac at any given point. Dac started to think maybe it was his ears bothering him. Then, as he was checking those, I noticed his eye was extremely red. The more we looked, the more we could tell that was what he was so upset about. He kept whining and rubbing his eye...he could barely keep it open. So at 10 p.m., we called the vet. Pugs obviously have very big, sensitive eyes that can easily get badly hurt... we weren't going to mess around with it. The Dr. told us to give Peety a little food and some aspirin and to bring him in this morning. So we did. The aspirin seemed to help tremendously and I was so glad to see him feeling more like himself. We're thinking it was probably something minor like dirt in his eye but he's still at the vet's office so we don't know for sure yet. Can't wait to see him!
Hope you all have a great weekend and if you have a dog, or a cat, or even a pig or iguana...give them a hug today! =)
These depressed feelings came about as I was looking through these pictures. They just scream "SUMMER TIME!! YEAH!" Yep, just like that. As I looked through them, I actually got extremely excited because IT'S SUMMER! =) Then, I remembered, I don't get summers anymore. I think we all deserve summers! Don't you?!
Ok, so let's quickly move past my pity party and onto this ridiculously adorable child and all the fun she had enjoying Summer!
Steve and Cori, we had an absolute blast playing with her, just like we always do.Thanks for having us over! She's got so much personality which I hope these photos capture.
That's one of our favorite things about photography. We have the opportunity to capture real memories...more than just what a kid looks like at a certain age... but what they act like, do for fun, and the expressions they make. We strive to get fun images that, 20 years from now, will take you back. More on that later. For now, just enjoy! =)
Thank you guys so much! We just love them!! :)

Justin and Erica had a beautiful May 17th wedding at Prairie Pines Christmas Tree Farm in Wichita. The location was full of gardens and natural goodness and they just added to the ambiance with more gorgeous flowers and other spectacular details. Pictures don't do it justice, I assure you. I loved how they made the ceremony their own. Erica recorded herself singing and played it during the ceremony and Justin played the sax. Very cool!
The reception was held in a barn and it was decorated very elegantly and spring-like with more fabulous flowers and my personal favorite, a candy bar, among other things. =) Another fun part was the first dance. The two took dance lessons and pulled some great moves to Brighter Than Sunshine.
I'll let the pictures tell the rest:
Hey guys! Thanks so much for letting us be part of your beautiful day. We had a great time!! You two are so sweet and fun to work with AND great with each other. Congrats!
These are just gorgeous..Congratulations Erica and Justin
