We dusted off our point-and-shoot camera for an evening with Jason and Kelly. The next day we realized there were a ton of random pictures chronicling the past 10 month. So here is a cliff notes version of the time in between weddings.
If you’ve been to our house you know we have a dog. She either barked at you from a room down the hall (if you were here for a consultation) or she barked at you in person and probably jumped on you. She’s never made an appearance on the blog and that needs to change! She’s really my baby but Aaron let’s her live here. Part cuteness, part crazy — she can be quite a handful. Oh and she’s completely spoiled — lots of beds and toys. Occasionally she manages to tear one of her toys apart. This was an artful example we came upon one day. We named it “ode to a dead giraffe” :)
Sometimes we find toys that are more entertaining for us than her. After a trip to Dave and Buster’s with my parents, we used our tickets to buy some fun plush toys. The monkey with velcro feet doubled as a nice accessory… If you can’t tell from the expression, she’s not happy with us.
Eventually she came to like her new “clothes”. Here she is getting some love from my mom.
Happy Halloween! — Yeah I know it’s late. I spent my Halloween with my Little Sister from Big Brothers Big Sisters. The organization always throws a great Halloween bash complete with pumpkin decorating contest. After an unfortunate incident last year when our attempt at a Bratz pumpkin looked more like a hooker or a blow up doll — I decided to play it safe with a mummy pumpkin. I heart crafts!
Yeah I didn’t dress up. I just couldn’t think of anything to go with Jamela’s doctor outfit. I was so NOT going to wear a paper hospital gown. Here we’re posing with some friends — Kelly and her little Elisha. Elisha is trying to look cool — I promise she’s not pissed. And Kelly hasn’t actually been drinking …
On to Thanksgiving — after much stress over my first turkey I managed to pull off a great meal for the whole fam. Here’s a random shot of Aaron’s Grandma E.
So we work a lot — you might already know that. Occasionally we take a vacation and last year we treated ourselves to an 11-day Caribbean cruise. We had a great time and posted some better pictures you can see here. The point and shoot turned up one gem – a champagne fountain from one of the formal nights. The idea is that women line up and take turns pouring champagne down the glasses.
And now a belated birthday party post. Several friends joined us at the ONLY restaurant we like in Blue Springs — a delicious Chinese restaurant that cooks your food to order. We had a great time and apparently took some pictures!
Tim is Aaron’s longtime best friend. Amy is Tim’s (then pregnant) wife whom Aaron had a good time snapping random pictures of. Seriously we had a flip book. This was Aaron’s choice — so Amy don’t blame me! I particularly love Tim’s expression — he thinks it’s hilarious when Aaron messes with Amy.
Rust and Claire — one of the cutest, most endearing couples you will meet. We don’t get to see them much so were really happy that they could join us.
OK now we’re back up to July. That was a long trip! Kelly and Jason (you may remember their awesome e-session and wedding pics) are clients turned friends and we couldn’t be happier! We met in Westport for some July 3rd hanging out. After dinner at McCoys we headed to Ernie Biggs Piano Bar.
A camera war between Jason and Aaron.
We don’t actually know this girl, but it’s a good picture of the stage.
