New member of the family....yah Johnny's wedding!

Here is the building where we were .....it is a wedding manor really beautiful with lots of tropicals, waterfalls, nice patio.....really pretty!
This is where the ceremony took place....Shayla came down the stairs really a beautiful bride.
Wedding cake really pretty however I pigged out on the pastries yummy!
Now this is one of the most interesting features of the wedding.....people that came put their cards in the bird cage which probably had money gifts in them....so here is the interesting part....a women came in and signed the register then went to the bird cage and took out all the cards and put them in her purse and walked out! Fortunately someone noticed her and they ran out and caught her and called the police....so she ended up in the own personal bird cage...JAIL....good thing she was caught because there was a sizeable amount of money that our new couple would have lost!
Here is Mr. & Mrs John Daniel Peterson Jr. Very happy couple!
And here is none other than the proud parents you know the ones that have to pick up the tab!lol
This one I couldn't resist....this stole the show she was so beautiful don't you agree!
and of course the old folks aaahhhh!
We were served dinner....boy was it good and dessert was even better we all went on a sugar high! Sure won't tell my doctor.
And always when there is a gathering we have to have the sibling picture ! another aaahhhh!

Jasper can swim......yah!

Okay so here is the story......Randy and Carrie went to California and left Melissa and me in charge of good ole Jasper.....well Jasper leads a kinda sheltered life so we thought it would be cool to introduce him to the lake and a good swim so we loaded him in the truck and headed for the lake......well he has never ridden in the back of a pickup so I sat with him....my gosh I felt like an Indian lol....he was nervous but did fine sucking up his drooling etc. then he got a little more nervous and peed....oh well he was on the other side so I was safe lol....anyway when we got to the water he LOVED IT! he followed me in and just took off then he would go to shore and come back in again

Catherine and Melissa we out in the deep water and he kept going out to them ....we think Jasper was checking on Catherine to make sure she was safe......good Jasper
We finally just took off his leash and let him go....good dog ....hehad a ball....we will do this again I'm sure.......right Jasper? wooof woooof (he said yes) good day was had by all.

Holiday weekend! No fuss!

Okay so on these kind of weekends we locals don't mess much with the big stuff (boats etc)so Granddaughter Melissa and Grandpa and of course myself packed lunch and sat down by the water and watched all the crazies come and go(smile) Just a nice relaxing day, lots to laugh at and a real good swim. Doesn't get better than that.
Melissa and sweet little Catherine....she is really a little fish!
Grandma having fun with the little fish....hard to believe she was once such a little girl....our miracle preemie....she is really a very busy 2 year old now. fun fun fun!
Okay so hope all you guys have a good weekend with lots of fun and of course always remember why the holiday and all those who gave their lives so we can be free.....we live in the greatest country in the world!
