Celebrating One Bride-to-Be and Two Dads!!

Well, we have had a lot going on in the last few days!  Enjoy getting caught up!!

Over the weekend I joined my soon to be sister-in-law Allison and some friends in the NC mountains to celebrate her last few weeks as a single lady. 


This was the view from the back deck of them cabin we stayed in. 
Yes it was in the middle of no where but it was beautiful!


We started out our Saturday at the Hill Billy Grill in West Jefferson.  It was a hole in the wall, but man the food was fabulous!!

We saw the first local wildlife at breakfast too!!  Of course the bachelorette had to have a picture with them!

Yes those pancakes were bigger than the plate. 

This very appropriate sign was on the wall at the grill!



These little decorated bags were all over the grill. 
Heather C. made one in honor of Allison's special weekend.


After our breakfast we headed around the mountain to go canoeing.  We were a little concerned about the weather but it ended up being perfect. 

Our ride to the river


As we waited to get on the river this little puppy wandered up and Mollie fell in love.  Needless to say she went down the river with us and Mollie became an instant mommy!


All of us just before jumping on the New River


Heather C and Chandler


Allison and Mollie


The scenery was amazing!

My canoemate Mary...unfortunately I have no pictures of me.  There are some on someone elses camera so when I get copies I will certainly share!


Jennipher and Melissa


After our fun on the river it was time to give Banjo a bath and get her prepared for her new life!


Sweetest puppy ever!!


Before getting ready for dinner Allison got to open all her presents.  For sake of saving her embarassment, I will not post anything to specific, but let's just say Matt will enjoy it all!!


This face sums up a lot!!


Maid of honor and bride-to-be at dinner


One of the best meals I have had in a while!!  If you are ever in West Jefferson, NC...GO THERE!


So glad to have her become a part of our family!!  LOVE YOU GIRL!!


Our party planner Mary giving us some directions!  We had a blast playing some really funny games!!


One of the games Allison had to guess what Matt said about 30 some random questions.  For the ones she got wrong she had to chew a piece of gum.  She did pretty good but she had a lot of gum in her mouth by the end.


One of the games we had to get the broom handle through the toilet paper roll without using our hands.  Mollie and Allison had a hard time with this one!!




Mary and Jennipher were a little faster!


Team Heather was the fastest!!


Melissa and Chandler were pretty fast as well.


Last thing of the night was toilet paper bride.  I think it was a tie between the teams because both of these ladies look amazing in their toilet paper!


What is a bachelorette party without penis shaped cakes?  Yes, I made these!



Grace stayed home with Troy and got some one on one time with daddy.  Father's Day was Sunday and we are so thankful to have two great dads in our lives; my dad and Troy. 










Today Grace had her 3 year check-up.

She looks so big sitting on the table at the doctor's office. 
She was 31 pounds and 35 1/2 inches tall.


Today we also started swimming lessons


Grace loves her swim teacher








OK....YOU ARE UP TO DATE!!  Hope you enjoyed all the fun from the last few days!
