Behind the scenes...

Sarah posted pics of the wedding shower she gave this weekend on her blog, and a beautiful shower it was...here are some behind the scene pics.  We are getting much better at this, it all went very smooth - no stress! 

Sarah - decorating with her usual flare! 

James was hard at work sweeping and blowing off the decks for a last minute spotless presentation!

James planting new bushes...what is it with guys and their timing!  We had to make him do these last after all of our other requests!

Diane - in charge of cooking is making a spinach salad here - yum!

Lucy got in on the act...carried around one of the flowers, it made her feel 'perty'.

Sarah & Danielle

Sarah giving the blessing...

which ended quite fast due to the family curse of choking up!

Finally Sarah sits down...buddy Fletcher is right by her side.  (Looking for handouts, I'm sure!)

Thanks Sar for all your hard work!!  It was a great party that Danielle & Gino will never forget!!

You're crazy...wish I looked so good! You still got it babe! Few more kids, then we'll talk...

Julie said...

What are you TALKing about??! You were just all choked up, and you don't even come close to looking fat... Kirstie Alley wishes she looked like you!!!

Mary said...

Ok, I'm not as nice as your mom and cousins...you TOTALLY look like a dork as you walk away from the blessing...your arms are on backwards and your face!! OMG...Can't stop laughing at you!Love ya!

Unknown said...

you better watch you little witch...I will be on vacation with you in a few days and you will be wearing a bathing suit, and I will have a camera!!!!!!

Unknown said...

this is what happens when your MOM decides to do a blog and you can't EDIT the pictures!!!!! This is WHY I wanted to retire the other one!!! :)

Lynne said...

Fair game now...I was careful with Willa's blog, but this is MY blog now...so anything can show up! :-)

Unknown said...

REMEMBER GRAMMY...SAME FOR YOU!! :) ....GLASSES?

Mary said...

If I get to post bad pictures of Sarah on a blog- then sign me up!!! Where would I start? Hmmmm....

Julie said...

OMGosh - I am dying laughing at you guys!!! At work, even. Sheesh!! Yes, ok, you look like a dork, but I know why - because you were choked up. I know I look like that due to the curse, too! hehehe, I'm still laughing. Anyway, I'm going to have to keep my eyes peeled for new posts... and possibly a blog from Mary after the vacay??? :o) hehehe...

Unknown said...

seriously, can we take the "after the blessing" pic off??

Lynne said...

Not a chance, I think I hold the record for the number of comments! That picture is going to make me famous ;-) Ok, fine I won't go that far...and yes, I should be nice as I am still wearing my glasses - UGH!!

Julie said...

well, i think you should keep your glasses on, then take a self-portrait... post it and then you can leave the one up of sarah after the blessing. It's really not that bad!

Lynne said...

Julie - I like your thought process...and Mary, just send me your pics!

Julie said...

Great, now Sar's gonna kill me! Oh well... I'm pretty far away. I'm safe for a little while. :o)

Lynne said...

Yah, I'm a little too close for comfort...maybe I should take the pic off...she might take visiting rights away ;-)

First of all, Miss Sarah...remember how you laughed about Willa's arms being backward??? NOW we know where that came from!! :) jk, of course. Secondly, Lynneeeee, don't you DARE take it oFF. That's the fun of your blog. Us Oldies will have just as much fun as the kids!Anyway, it was a one-in-a million moment in time that you would never be able to catch again. LOVE it! Sorry, sar!
