Dallas - Oklahoma visit all by my lonesome!

Kyle and Tami, the happy couple! We had starbucks the morning after got into town. Kyle popped in to meet us. Ok fine, he really popped in to see his sweetie pie... ha ha! I am so happy for them both.
Corrie is one of my new Canadian friends. We hit it off and it feels as if we have known each other forever. She and Natasha flew down the same afternoon I did so we met at the airport. We're already brainstorming about a girls weekend in Seattle.... :)

The 5 of us in the bridal party. Left to right: Jennifer, Corrie, Tiffany, Natasha, and me. We all had different style dresses but all were in the same color.

I got to try Deep Fried Pickles (dill). OH MY GOODNESS... YUM! They were SO good... they were spicy and then dipped in ranch. Texas is definitely all about eating!!! There were 12 restaurants on each corner!!

This concludes the couple pics I took from Tami's wedding. Here I am actually eating 'gator... deep fried of course! :) ha ha... It was yummy!!!

The day after the wedding my sister in law, Heather, drove down to Ft. Worth and picked me up. We had a great day heading to Dallas Ikea and walking around there.... and of course the drive home too - peacefully quiet w/o all the kidlets. I got to spend a few days with my brother and his family - definitely a special trip!!! While I was there Andi, my niece had her 5th Birthday!!

Cake time! Note "Baby Burgess".... Heather's bump is so cute.

The Birthday Girl with her Princess crown. She wore it most of the day...even to the library!

Happy Birthday to YOU....

Birthday cake for the Birthday girl!

Catherine and Andi had a tea party with the tea set that Auntie (me) got for Andi for her birthday. I also used a chunk of purple fleece and made a table cloth for her little table. The table cloth and tea set can fit into a tinkerbell lunch box I got her as well. It was cute!!!

My typical point and shoot blindly shot...

At the airport we realized I hadn't had a picture with all 3 kidlets yet! Poor lil Caleb was sleep deprived so not the most photogenic :) But we took it anyway :) It was such a special trip to get to spend a few days with the family!!
