May Recap

So...it has been a while since I have posted something.  Like a month! Yikes!  What negligence!  
I thought I would do a May Recap to show what I've been up to.

In the beginning of May, you all remember I went to visit my grandmother in North Carolina.
and we scooted over to Winston-Salem to visit with this little guy and his mom, my cousin, Anna.
Nanny-Nett rode back to RVA with me for Mother's Day, so we could spend it all together.
We had a bunch of people get together to celebrate Mother's Day at Brunch--my Mom, Dad, brother (Alex), Hubby, Nanny-Nett; my mother-in-law; my brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and niece and nephew (Virginia and Carter); then my sister-in-law's Dad and step-mother.  Quite the crew!  After Brunch, we all went outside and posed for Family Pictures--here are a few:



 I think we clean up pretty well, don't you?

My Mom and Dad co-hosted an Engagement Party for one of their good friend's daughter who is getting married later this summer.  It was a lot of fun!  The theme was a Beach Music Party, so there was shagging, a pig picking (complete with pig on the smoker), and lots of beach music!

 Lots of dancing was going on as the night went on!









It was a lot of fun!

The next day, I went to Godfrey's here in Richmond to the Drag Queen Brunch to celebrate the birthdays of two of my dear friends, Lissa and Marty.  We had a blast!  
 The Birthday Girls, Marty and Lissa.
 The whole gang--Me, Miggie, Lissa, Marty, and Amity.

Now, for some of the "girls"... 
(caution, a possibly offending picture at the end of the post)
 

(I really think Marty should use this as her Christmas card)
 

(I warned you)
 
And on that note, I am really not sure there is anything else I can say.

Family Birthday Dinner

Family is important in our household--we have a lot of it, so that is good!  We try to spend a lot of time with family and of course, I like to document all the good times.  Recently, we had Greg's brother's family over (Gary, Lori, Virginia and Carter) for Gary's birthday.  Greg made his famous ribs for the occasion and I made some delicious macaroni and cheese (adapted from one of Pioneer Woman's recipes http://thepioneerwoman.com/tasty-kitchen/) and green bean casserole (Greg's favorite). 


Here is the table--I love those white pumpkins.  I have four that I got from Garden Ridge--I love that place!

Here is the table after the vultures family has descended.  Looks yumm-o, right?

This is my niece, Virginia, and my nephew, Carter.  Aren't they sweet!  Virginia is 5 and Carter just turned 4.  We love them!  They are very entertaining and keep us laughing!


Fun kid tricks--a somersault on hardwood floors.

Such a goof!



Lori made this amazing Chocolate Pudding Cake!
The kids gave it 2 Thumbs Up! (So did everyone else.)

Then it was time for some goofing...






Happy Birthday Gary!
