here comes the bride
my good friend, kirstin, got married this past week. i had the pleasure of throwing a saucy little bachelorette party for her. this is me, kirstin, and candi at the cheesecake factory. (we still had smiles on our faces because we had no idea we were in for an hour and a half wait! i HATE that restaurant. the food is disgusting cafeteria food and the place is always packed. i do not understand the appeal.) "thump". that was the sound of me getting off my high horse.


waiting.....and waiting....... betcha cant guess which fine dining establishment i wished we would have gone to...... we would have, for sure, had a g'day, there!


after the cafeteria, we came back to my house for desserts and games. i was/am obsessed with the hot pink margarita glasses. they were perfection. we also served: mini cupcakes, lemon delights, my aunt's famous sugar cookies (in the shape of high heels, none the less) and chocolate rice crispies. yum-o.

these were the little party favors i put together for the guests. new brides love to see their new married name on anything, hence the tags. and the color of the jelly beans were the colors of kirstin's wedding.

we played a game where kirstin had to answer questions that we had previously asked her fiance. if she answered them the same as james did, then she was applauded. if not....... someone that was blind-folded applied makeup to her face. the black eye shadow was all me!

here is the beautiful bride and her new hubby. they were so happy together and the entire wedding, from beginning to end, was exquisite.

the reception was at the seattle tennis club. even though the weather wasnt all that nice (dont even get me started on the summer we have had.... jocelyn disregard the last sentence....) the scenery was fantastic.

that was the first night that craig and i had left tagg with a babysitter. i must have called at least ten times during the four hours.... but baby and sitter did great!

the day after the reception, i found these beauties on my doorstep. how lucky! i am serious, the flowers were the best i have ever seen.

k, enough wedding talk. this is tagg at the airport while we waited for our cousin to get home from his mission in peru. i cannot believe we will be doing the same thing for my brother in less than three months. i know tagg and taylor will LOVe each other.

excuse the wetness. i dont know that that was all about! but just focus on the cutest outfit you have ever seen. i am so excited that tagg is getting bigger and i can finally put him in big boy clothes. he is pretty happy with himself too. geesh.

i mostly bought this sweatshirt because of the bull on the backside. and it says "run" on the front. cute, no? i think it is so hip.
