Happy 4th!

I hope everyone has a fun and SAFE 4th! Pictures from the St. Louis trip and Hot Springs trip coming soon!

Mr. and Mrs. Kalin Burcham

Jacy emailed me this picture this morning. Just thought I would share it. It is just a snapshot from her camera, she has not gotten her photos from her photographer yet. Kalin and Jacy got married last Monday and Savannah, GA. CONGRATS!

So what have we been doing?

The answer is WEDDINGS and wedding festivities (at least mostly)!!! We have been BUSY BUSY! But, it has been so much fun. Let's back up to the weekend of April 18. That was Super Bulldog Weekend. We went to Starkville and stayed with our friends Kristen Breter and Kyle Skinnner. We had a lot of FUN!

The following weekend Bo's first cousin Baxter got married. What a FUN weekend and wedding. Friday night the rehearsal dinner was at Pizza Grocery, the food was delicious. Then the after rehearsal dinner party was at Gilmore's. We had a lot of fun!

The wedding was at Firt Baptist and was so pretty. The reception was at Hillendale. They had the most fun band I have ever heard! (the word is the same band is booked for Bo's HS 10 year reunion this year!) They had the coolest drink specialties. The Wilder (which was a Jack and Coke) and a Gingerita (which was a Margarita). I thought that was such a cute idea! (I don't know if you will be able to tell from the pictures, but I went to Pickwick with Mere that day and got quit a bit of sun). The went on their honeymoon in Mexico, luckily they came back Swine Flu free!

So fun!

The next weekend was an engagment party for one of Bo's HS best friends Jay Shipp and his fiance Lyndsay. It was a crawfish and shrimp boil at Jay's cabin at Pickwick. All Bo's HS best friends were there including Lamar (and his precious pregnant wife Wesley) all the way from Key West!!

The next weekend was Mother's day weekend. My Aunt JJ came in town for it, and for my birthday. Friday night me, Bo, Mom, and JJ just grilled steaks out at our house. Then Saturday night we went to eat at the Catfish Hotel for my birthday. Sunday was mother's day. That morning mom and JJ went to church with us. Then we spent the day at MKB's house for a mother's day picnic. We had such a fun day, and I think the mother's (and aunt) had a good day too!

The next weekend we had a crawfish boil for Jacy and Kalin out at Wildwood. I think they really enjoyed it, although the crawfish wasn't exactly ready on time. But, oh well! Today is actually their actual wedding day. They went to Savannah, GA to get married! CONGRATS to them.

Also that weekend, was a sad/happy day. Campy, the baby, Campy is graduating high school. Friday night was his graduation, however I could not attend as it was in Starkville, and I had to prepare for the party we were giving the next day. However, Sunday was Bachalartte Sunday in at 1st Pres. So I attended. I can't believe Camp is all grown up (tear).

Then came Memorial Day weekend. That was a busy weekend. We went up to Mere's cabin on Friday, with intentions of leaving on Saturday to go to the Moore's cabin. We ended up staying at Mere's until Sunday morning. We left then and came back to Corinth. We spent the day at Wildwood fishing for our supper. William then fried all the fish we caught. YUM YUM Monday we played in the Memorial Day scramble out at the Country Club. It was a six man mixed scramble. Our team was Bo, me, MKB, Kate, John and another man they put with us. We had a good time, although we were by far not a very good team.

Then the last weekend in May we went to stay at the Moore's cabin. A fun Pickwick weekend. We just hung out and played catch phrase. Very laid back, just the way I like Pickwick!

Then finally this past weekend, Ben (Bo's OTHER first cousin) got married. It was out at Wildwood. It was really pretty. I hate I didn't get a good picture of the bride and groom to share. But, it was fun and Whitney looked so pretty (and Ben looked very handsome).

Well that brings us to date. Like I said we have been BUSY! This weekend we have an 'off weekend'. But, then get started back up until mid July. I will try to keep a better hold on my blogging so I don't have to do so much at one time. Next weekend Bo and I are going on a mini vacation to St. Louis for a few days. We are just going to go to a Cardinals game and who knows what else. Our next wedding is Morgan and David's June 27th in Hot Springs! Can't wait to celebrate with all our college friends!

I know, I know

I know I am super slacking on the blogging! We have been BUSY, and I have lots to say and lots of pictures. I promise to work on it next week. Until then.........

Praying for Stellan

Stellan is a sweet baby boy who since before birth has had heart problems. I am not familiar with all the medical terms and I am not going to attempt to explain it all. But, this sweet baby boy is in Boston having surgery on his baby heart today. PLEASE PRAY for him! If you have not read his mom's blog, you should do so. Please read Mckmama's blog and lift up your prayers for Stellan, his family, and the medical team that are working with him. The above picture is a healthy Stellan (his mom calls all her children by a nickname. He is MckMuffin. There is also a Big Mac, MckNugget, and Small Fry). Below is a picture of Stellan just before he went into surgery this morning (pictures courtsey of MckMama's blog).

Donuts, Slugburgers, Fishing and Snakes.....What a weekend!

We had such a wonderful weekend! Christi, Jermey, and Camden got here Friday night around seven. We grilled out it was yummy. There were several people that came by to hang out including the Stanley's so Camden and John got to play. I think they had a big time.

Camden had said the whole Lord's Prayer to Christi the night before when she was putting him to sleep and they were saying their prayers. He calls it "Our Father". We had him say it several times thoughout the weekend, and he does an awsome job. He never misses a beat. It is amazing that a three year old can say something that long with unfamiliar words by heart. But, he did and he was great at it.

Saturday was the most fun though. Saturday morning my mom and I took Camden to Harlow's for donuts. While we were there we saw Bo's uncle and cousin John and Bailey Butler. Bailey is 10 or 11 and he had killed a turkey. They were next door at Handyman showing the turkey to Bailey's dad Johnny. Camden was amazed with the dead turkey. He was most impressed that it had blood on it's mouth. There was blood on the ground, so I had told Camden "not to step in the blood". So all day long he would tell people about the turkey and say "I am going to kill me a turkey, but you don't want to step in the blood".

Then for lunch we took Camden to Borrum's and he tried his first slugburger ever. While we were downtown we ran to Kate's and Company for a few minutes. Camden had a good time with the display stamps. Then we went and bought crickets, and headed to Wildwood. By the time we got to Wildwood he was exhausted and snoozed the first hour or so that we were there. But, then he woke up and was ready to "catch sharks". We caught a few fish, but he wasn't into the whole having to "wait" on a bite to reel it in. He did help us reel some of our fish in, and he held a few of them as well. William (Bo's dad) went snake hunting on Saturday and got back before we left. He brought two cottonmouth's back for Camden to see. Camden has no fear. I was holding him and he wanted to hold the dead snakes, I made him get down to hold the snake. I could just see him getting scared and throwing the snake and it landing on me and then having to revive me from the heartattack I would have had. By the time we got home and Camden got a bath and some supper he was out like a light. He had a very busy day. Christi, Jeremy, Bo and I played Catch Phrase (which is my new fav game) all night. It is so fun. If you have not played it I highly recommend it.

I spent Sunday recovering. We had so much fun, but I am defiantly not ready for a three year old I was WORN out! HAHA

Ready for the weekend!!!!

So this weekend, one of my best friends and college roomie is coming for a fun visit! She is bringing with her, her WONDERFUL little boy Camden, and her new BF Jeremey. Bo and I are so excited to have them! This is our first time meeting Jeremey and we are really excited. We have heard nothing but wonderful things about him. I haven't seen Christi since Christmas (which is WAY to long for us), but I haven't seen Camden since his birthday in September. I hope her recognizes me. (haha he knows I always have presents, he knows exactly who I am). Everytime I talk to him on the phone he says "Aunt Prentiss when are you going to bring me presents?" This weekend he is going to get a fishing pole, because we are taking him fishing at Wildwood. I am hoping for a superman one, but I haven't gone to look yet. (His last request was for Superman presents). We can not wait for ya'll to get here!! YAY I hope to have lots of fun pictures to post next week of the weekend!
