A weekend with friends!

I kow this is late but I wanted to post these pictures of our weekend in Washinton several weeks ago. We attended a homeschool graduation for Keslie and her friend Sarah. The party was held at Sarah's lovely farm. The house, barn, and yard were so lovely and decorated with great taste! It was such a pleasure to photograph! Also Keslie and Sarah made matching 1950's dresses to wear and they were charming! They both looked like they stepped out of a movie!

Keslie showing us the tent they set up for girls to sleep in. (No one ended up sleeping in it since most of us used the basement because of the rain.)

                                                     Keslie again!

Kami and her grandma.

The B girls with their mom.

            This was so cute! The wash tub was right out the back door!


 The snack food table. They laid this food out for everyone to snack on              before dinner.

All the flowers were so lovely!

Mr. and Mrs. C talking about Keslie. It was so precious to hear them talk and thank God for her!

                                      They both received flowers!

Some more lovely flowers on the porch.

Boys and a dog.

Tug of War begins! The dog had to be a part of everything!

                                                        Go boys!

                                         Yep, they pulled and won!

                                              Now the girls turn!

Well after the games it started to rain. It rained hard enough that everyone was seeking shelter. It was a little sad but it didn't ruin the day!

Some even enjoyed it!

                           Mr. C, dad and Lydia trying to keep warm.

Since our tents had large puddles on the floors us girls ended up sleeping down in the basement with the other girls. There were 13 girls scattered around the room! There was a sea of air mattresses! It was so fun!

Monday night, David's Surprise Party!

Monday might we successfully pulled off a surprise party for David! He turned 21 on the 4th and a party wouldn't have worked in our schedule till now. He was very and completely surprised! It was so fun!

David while he was trying to process it all.

He hugged mom and wouldn't let go he was so touched!

Going out to greet everyone who came.

David and the cake Heather and Kami made together. The candles are standing in used bullet shells!

Girls, pretty dresses, kittens and balloons.

Annie loving on a kitten.

It took him THREE blows to get all the candles out! Must be getting old... hehehehe

The cake after we took out the candles. It looked like it was shot up!

Heather, Keslie, the Hard twins and Gracie serving at the ice cream bar.

Everyone seemed to have a great time!

The boys in line, most likely for seconds...or thirds?

Justus wondering where his ice cream was!

David and his friend Mitchel and little Justus there and Caleb with his back to us.

"Poor" Brego carried 7 children! Lydia looks like she needs to go to bed...!

After a game of Wave the Hand we danced a little and then everyone slowly trickled away. It is so sad to have to end such a lovely and delightful evening and we were so glad the C's were able to enjoy it with us! I would like to thank them all for all the work they did to help pull this off! Thanks girls!

Well I hope you enjoyed all these pictures! I sure had fun taking them!
