Now with the flags....she's in the middle
The whole band looking great!!
Running with flag.......so fast she's blurry.....
The Band won all the individual awards and got 1st over all!! They have a great program this year and the kids really enjoy it. Abby really likes color guard and is planning on doing Winter guard later this year.
You can go to www.effinghamband.org to see their performances on YTube!

A Wedding Up North.......

The last weekend in August we attended the wedding of Brian's cousin Mark and his new wife Waynie in the Chicago area.

Of course we are supposed to be relaxing for the weekend and here is Brian......(atleast he is poolside!)..... Gabe enjoying the reception.....He was trying to be Mr. Fancy Pants with his wine glass....
Abby looked great in her dress.....They had all this neat furniture that she had to try out....
The Bride and Groom coming out of the church......It was a beautiful wedding....
Me with my boys.....They get cleaned up really nice.....And Yes...Beau is almost as tall as me!
It was a nice weekend to just get away.......
