Dirk & Chevaun's Wedding

I really enjoy talking or rather writing to myself you know.... No one has bothered to forward me any decent pictures of the wedding so I was forced to put the only ones that I had on here. Braxton was supposed to take some more pictures for me but when I looked at the camera after the wedding all I had were pictures of the back's of people's heads and the ground!! Not really anything worth sharing.
I think it went very well. We worked our butts off getting the place and the food ready. Way to go "Team Black", we really worked together and made it happen. I still can't believe how the kids even pitched in and helped decorate and make the food. I was really proud of all of them.
Tammy really did a good job on the cake. It was better than anything that you could have bought and was very elegant. Mom and I battled the arch until we gave up and decided that we had messed with it enough. Trina, Colton and Steven chopped all the fruit and veggies and then helped me make the Chicken Salad. Brenna got the kitchen organized and set up all the chairs and buffet tables. We were calling Mark our 'kitchen bitch' because he kept all the dishes washed and the tables wiped off. Dennis was at home cussing the avocados because they were too hard to make guacamole. He finally gave up and only made half a batch, good thing he made plenty of salsa though.
After dinner everyone talked and danced until their feet hurt. (I know mine did)
We all pitched in and cleaned up the place and were back to the farm by 10:30. We got all the food out again and sat around munching on leftovers and talking. It was a nice way to wind down at the end of a very busy day!!
So... when do we start this catering business we keep talking about?? Lord knows we have all had enough practice!!

Garrett's B-day

Yes, I have been slacking this month... but have finally gotten Garrett's birthday pictures up. I have been working on the slideshow for 2 hours because I couldn't get Trina's fat head to fit in the picture with her, Garrett and Tanner. (Just kidding of course, Trina!!) I took the picture of them long ways (up and down) and so I had to keep cropping it so that she would fit. This blog stuff is hard work!! I spent so much time on it that I used the same one for both my blog and this one.
My camera is backed up with pictures so I need to work on it alot this month. I dont have very many good pictures of Dirk & Chevaun's wedding which will be my next post so if any of you got some really good ones of them or the family please email them to me so that I can include them.
Garrett's party went well and I appreciate everyones help, especially Tammy. It is hard to control all those youngsters and I get flustered. Dennis cooked their hotdogs and helped me get them fed then hid in the garage and kept asking if they were gone yet.
Garrett got everything that he had asked for and is already making his list for next year!!
