Hello Hot, Miserable August..I HATE THIS HEAT and not looking forward to another month ( or 2) of it!

July sure flew by and I hope August does as well! July was a fun-filled month for Nic and I . We helped host a couple showers, had friends over for dinner and did some painting around our house. I've almost forgotten what it feels like to have TIME on my hands=) Kinda excited about a few lazy weekends ahead!

                            We dined on grilled steak, potatoes, asparagus, strawberry pecan salad & chocolate chip bread pudding

Kelly & Frances' Lakeside Shower 

  

 This is Kelly's favorite thing about the lakehouse so of course we had to have a picture of it!

Kelly & Frances

Sunflowers are Frances' favorite flowers and the flowers Kelly proposed with.

 Margarita bar

Beautiful flowers at the sign in table... with the missing paddle.

Beautiful Sadler family!

 Jennifer making the wonderful margaritas!

Lots of alcohol and Jen just 7 months pregnant =)

 The paddle was our "sign in" item but everyone seems to think Frances might need it to keep Kelly straight!
