Stick Shifts & Safety Belts, Bucket Seats have all got to go. . .

(Sorry it is so dark, this is Kami with a wedding veil on opening presents)

My weekend started out with a shower. . .

The last one till they are finally OFFICIAL!

Audrey thought that she would try a lemon, she hated it,

made this face, then put it in her mouth again.

Silly girl.

That afternoon Michael and I got to watch the kids.

Alan was running a little late, so April and I had to meet him & the

kids at McDonalds to switch vehicles. Well to do this, I needed to

drive their stick shift about 1 mile back to my house with Toria and Brayden

in the veh. For those of you who don't know, I CANNOT drive Stick. . .

So pulling out of the Mcdonald's onto the main road went a little like this. . .

Green light

Killed it

Toria- "What is wrong with our car?"

Brayden- "Does my dad need a new car?"

Second green light

Killed it

oh, killed it again (yes that is 3 times)

Toria- "I'm going to tell my dad that we need to buy a new car,

instead of new furniture"

Me- "Its okay, we can fix it, he doesn't need to buy a new car"

Third green light

Killed it

Me- "Crap, poop, dang it"

Brayden- " Something is very wrong with the car, I'm going to tell my dad"

FINALLY peeled out and made it onto the main road.
The rest of the day went pretty smoothy.

We ate treats, watched cartoons and went to the park.

That night both Erik's family and Kami's family got together

for dinner, it was a lot of fun to get to hang out with

everybody. Kathrin had lots of fun stories about Erik to share.

Every time they hang out with us, they learn so much more about Erik

(even things they probably don't want to know =))

Sorry Erik!

But what are sister's for right?

Erik is marrying into a really fun and great family.

On Monday night Michael and I had our "Goodbye dinner" with our

neighbors, Noah & Lashae. We got to talk about all of our wonderful

times together, their recent trip to Hawaii,

and how our lives will be so different with out having

them live right next to us. We are going to miss them so much.

Going from seeing them almost every single day, to only once every

6 months is going to be rough. But I know that we will

have and cherish their friendship forever. We have a friendship

that will last for years to come. We have been so blessed to have

such good friends live right next to us for the past 2 1/2 years.

We love you guys! Good Luck!
