The Sister is Getting Married!!!!

And now for the most exciting catchup post.  This weekend my little sister got engaged.  Stephen proposed to Deborah Saturday night and then threw a great surprise engagement party with sixty of their closest family and friends - they are both a bit social.  So we all piled into the car and road-tripped it to Oklahoma City.  Deborah was surprised by the proposal and the party.  Stephen did a great job - we're excited to welcome him to the family.

 In the hotel room - getting ready to surprise!

 Deborah when she saw mom.

 Sweet engaged couple!

 The dads - they formed their own private party on the balcony.

 Deborah and the OBU girls - love them!

Deborah and one of her best friends Kate, who flew in from Houston.

 Both families.

Baby Madison's Shower

My coworker Alex is having a little girl in a few weeks.  We had a shower for her last week at work.  Her husband Nick got to come and it was a lot of fun.  I can't wait to meet miss Madison!

 Part one of the gift - my first attempt at dyeing a onesie!

 And probably my favorite burp clothes I've ever made.

 The setup.  The cake and the cupcakes were my responsibility.

Sweet Nick and Alex - I think they are adorable.

Ashley's Wedding

Way back in March, my cousin Ashley got married.  Yes, I have a lot of blogging to catch up on.  The family all came to town and we had a great weekend in Arlington.  Sadly, I forgot my camera.  And I had to steal the ones I have from my sister.  And we have none of the bride.  So, this is a little bit of sad post.  But I do have fun pictures with the family.

 Silly sisters.

 Welch girls.

 At one point they were short handed, so I ended up serving ice cream.  

 The precious parents.

Grandparents...I love them.
