lace, ribbon and tulle

it's been a girly weekend.

we spent this past weekend 

down in my hometown santa clarita

with my parents.

this trip was for my soon to be sister-in-laws bridal shower

...still cant believe the wedding is just a little over a month away!

i have plenty of pictures to share.

before we get into the 

"girl stuff"

i have some pictures of grandpa and the

kids.

ps...he{my dad} never wants to take

pictures...it's like pulling

teeth!

jesse loved hangin

out with grandpa in the truck...

{they were trying to sell stuff at a 

neighborhood garage sale}

alright...

the girls.

so elleanne and i had

our first "girls only"

event {meaning jesse hung out with dad

all day....those days are jesse's favorite!}

elleanne and i went to the shower 

together...and hopefully we

will go to many more together!

we love to wear pink!

...well i guess i am speaking for her...

however i am in love with all colors....

it's kinda a problem.

anyways then we have a picture of

"the david girls"

{david is my maiden name}

alright 

and just a few snapshots

of bernadette's beautiful bridal shower

 ^ such a cute bird cage to hold the plates and utensils.

^ her aunt has a gorgeous backyard.

 bernadette and her mom dancing together.^

ok
so unfortunately
my dad had to work while
we were down
there towards the end of our trip.
he is a boeing triple seven pilot for
american airlines
had to leave for london
on saturday night.
so a couple more pictures of
my dad in his uniform 
with the kids.

<looks

like he can still handle two kids.

...

maybe not>>>

and of course..one with grandma and jesse.

while the girls

were at the shower

the boys...

played baseball, went to a car show, fixed their own lunch!, rode in the convertible {jesse loved it}

..and daddy taught him

to climb the stairs.

ok lastly,

the rest of the weekend for me

was spent working with

my sister, on bachelorette party invitations.
[oh...and my mom helped us a little too...when she wasn't holding grandkids :)]

i have some cool pictures of 

the invitation

that we completely made from scratch.

that "lady" insert

sits right inside the invitation

to give her "sizes".
