Before and After!

Before the clean up, notice the pile of pallets in front of the shop and on the right of the driveway the massive pile of panels. Also to the back of the picture you can see the pipes which is the structure of the tent with no tent fabric on it.

You can see all the junk around the shop better in this picture. We really had a mess out there! Years of accumulation!

In this one the tent has the fabric/top on it,the start of a new door and the bulldozer is leveling out a big pile of dirt in the background.

Sorry about the awful looking clouds but this shows the place all cleaned up and ready, almost, for the wedding reception.....IN 2 WEEKS!!!!!! I can't believe it is almost here. We have to thank John Rankel who rents our back piece of property for all the work he did helping move all the panels and pallets and also getting a friend of his out to bulldoze, we couldn't have done it without your help!  The next pictures of our shop will be of the reception tent up, lights, porta pottys(need to have em) dj tent and lots of lights! Can't wait.

Beginning of the dance floor!

Storms!

This has sure been a summer full of storms! This one was just the other day and it actually wasn't as bad as some of the other ones we have had. By the looks of these clouds it should have been worse but I think areas south of us got the worst of it, we just got a lot of rain for just a short while and then the sun came out again. A very strange summer this year!

Football and Family

Mallory having the kids stretch before racing! The blondie in the front on the left doesn't belong to us, but what's one more, right?!?!

And big cousin Tayt taking Jax to Mallory.

Yes it is that time of year already, Peyton has started playing football! Lia has also started her cheer leading but isn't cheering yet for this game. I need to get some pictures of her doing that yet. Something for another post! Boy where has the summer gone, but the cooler weather is awful nice~

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGAN!!!!!

Here is Mallory on the left with Uncle Ron in the middle and Meg the birthday girl on the right.

I love these pictures above, I think Mal got my camera cause I don't remember taking these, but Meg was trying to get Luke, her godson, to dance with her but all he wanted to do was fight with her. Not sure but I think he cussed at her and this was her reaction! Love the face!

Today is our number 3 daughter's birthday. Happy Birthday Meg, hope you had a great weekend and are enjoying your time off! Love you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COURTNEY!!!!!!!!!

This past weekend a bunch of us went to Milwaukee for Casey's bachelorette party and had a very good time! The above pictures should prove that, lots of fun, laughs, silliness, eating, almost getting picked up as a hooker(the guys were totally kidding with Casey) but hilarious anyway! And thank you to Carrie for saving her!!! She shooed away the Land Rover! Shopping and browsing at the 3rd Ward, which if you are ever in Milwaukee you should go see, very worth it, it a really amazing part of town! Thank you to Renee for leading us down there, it is a great place! All in all we had a great time with wonderful friends and family,and now the count down to the wedding begins!
