20 Clay Pots

I have been very preoccupied for a couple of days. Tim and the boys have been working on 'things' and 'stuff' up in the tractor barn (which doesn't have any tractors in it right now because of the 'things' and 'stuff'). One of the boys brought a box down to me that had 3 full bags from AC Moore in it. Thinking I hit the crafting mother lode, I happily opened the bags. Guess what? Inside the box, in the bags, carefully wrapped up are 20 clay pots complete with 20 clay bases. What the heck was I going to make with 20 clay pots and bases? 20 Angels? 20 candles? 20 potted herbs in painted pots to give to friends? 20 bird houses?

Honestly, I have I no idea - I don't even remember buying the pots. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.

(and stay tuned - you just might be surprised with a clay pot gift!)

Some NC reception pics

The Bride's entrance

Here's the proof - the Bride arrived on a Harley!

Oops.....and I have a favor to ask

I need to apologize profusely to Tyler - his birthday was on Thursday - and I totally forgot to mention it!!! Happy 16th Birthday Tyler! (and yes, for those of you still counting, Tyler was born a year after Keenan)

I have a favor to ask - if anyone took pictures at the reception here in NC, could you email them to me? I was so busy with so many other things, I forgot to take pictures!

Wedding Week

Wow! What a wonderful week we had!
Just to recap (and this will be a shortened version, since I know everyone has been anxious to see the pictures!) -- On Monday (8/18), we flew out to Salt Lake City. On Tuesday (8/19), Brandee went through the Salt Lake Temple and received her endowments. On Wednesday (8/20), we had a fantastic wedding breakfast in Gardner's Village (what a great place to visit!) and then Brandee and Scott were sealed for time and all eternity in a beautiful ceremony. On Thursday (8/21), we (meaning just Tim and I as Brandee Merkley was with Scott) traveled to Tridell, for the Utah reception. It was great to meet so many of Scott's family and friends! On Friday (8/22 - Happy Birthday Brandee!!!), we flew back to North Carolina - and as an added surprise for Scott and Brandee, Scott's parents came too! On Saturday (8/23), we had the North Carolina reception (after spending all day either shopping, decorating or preparing food!). It was a great event - with a surprise for Scott - Brandee arrived at the reception on Tim's Harley!!!
