Catch up!!!

So, my computer took a crash a few months ago... it's crazy how much you need them now! We finally invested in a new one, I love it. It has a ton of memory to hold all of my millions of pictures that I take :) A lot has happened since I have not been able to post... so let's play a little catch up...

Rick and Kathie (Ricky's parents) got a new fishing boat! It is really beautiful. And we got the chance to spend a day with them on it!Karly LOVED it... outdoors, ocean, sea lions, grandparents, and parents... everything she loves :)We also had Katies bridal shower, which was a lot of fun!!!Amy, Sarah, and NikkiAmy, Sarah and SusieTracy-looking beautiful as ever! My Auntie Sue :)Mom and the bride to be!Then, of course, the BIG event was Katie and Davids wedding... we ALWAYS love it when our family all gets together, we have a blast!!! The first to arrive was Aunt Cathy and Uncle Will... they took us all out to Kobes for dinner to celebrate my moms birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!)Karly loved it... they cook the whole meal right in front of you! The waitress fell in love with Karly... so much that when we left she had to run out to give her one more hug before we left :) She was really sweet!Me and RickySoon to be Mr. and Mrs. Hollingworth :) THANK YOU SO MUCH Uncle Will and Aunt Cathy for an awesome dinner, we had so much fun and we appreciate ALL you do for us!!!The next day, Karly and Mason FINALLY got to meet!!! They are just two months apart. It took just a little bit for Mason to warm up to Karly, I think she was more interested in him for a while :) But by the end of the trip they were talking up a storm to eachother... REALLY CUTE! Mason is just adorable. Hard not to be with parents like Matt and Micah (can't believe i did not get one picture of you two!!!) They are really great parents! Micah is so beautiful, as she always has been, but she has that mommy glow to her now....LOVE YOU MICAH... wish you guys were around all the time!And then, we were off to rehearsal... me and my baby girl! David and "his boys"Pat and Bird :)Owie Monkey!!!!!Has anyone seen the rings? (Katie made everyone in the wedding party little shirts for the wedding) Pat and KarlyPat walked Katie down the aisle.The place they got married was really PERFECT!!! Katie even made a onesie for Karly...in my eyes she was the CUTEST "Littlest Maid" I EVER DID SEE (but I guess I am suppose to think that:)Aunt Cathy and Micah were AWESOME... they got all the food ready to go for the night including making a their famous ceaser salad, and these adorable and DELICIOUS fruit pizzas :)Amy, Uncle Will and TracyJenna Bleu and Karly AnnThe Bride and Maid of HonorKatie and Mom... (Katie wore my grandmas dress that night... she looked beautiful in it!!! My grandma actually made the dress and wore it to an event with my grandpa :)And our Owie monkey!!!! We all know that 2 year olds are all over the place... well Owie decided he would try going for a drive on his own, he grabbed someones keys off the table and went all the way out to Amy's car and was trying to put the keys in the ignition!!! NOW YOU KNOW WHY WE CALL HIM MONKEY!!! I JUST LOVE THAT KID!!!!The morning of the wedding!!!! Mom and Katie were both very calm... everything was done, and the big day was finally here... YAY!!!!Us in our shirts Katie made us.... Ready to go!Of course a crazy face shot :/But we could not leave without a little Mason time... Tracy can get all the kids to laugh so easily :)Tracy and JennaAnd the bride... getting ready for her big day! I did not get any pictures of the actual wedding... Katie and David had two AWESOME photographers for the wedding, so I left it to the professionals... but let me say that Katie was absolutely, without a doubt, the MOST BEAUTIFUL BRIDE I have ever seen! The night was so much fun (aside from "roasting" during the ceremony :/) We really had a BLAST... Karly loved it! (Danced the night away!) The next couple of days were so relaxing.... Uncle Mike could not get enough of Karly!!! Gosh I love our family!!!!Uncle Mike, Uncle Will and KarlyAnd my mom had to join in all the Karly time too... she made the little dress Karly is wearing... ADORABLE!Mom and her big bro!Amy and Karly! Karly has changed so much in the last few weeks... she is crawling ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!She loves to pull herself up on anything and use it as a crutch to walk around...She tries to stand on her own too (but it usually only last for a few minutes before she plops back down :)She LOVES her family!!! She loves blowing bubbles, waves hello and goodbye now, says mama and dada (we are trying to teach her who is who now instead of just saying them to say them :)She is just a "happy baby" and we LOVE HER TO DEATH!!!!OH YEAH!.... and the best thing is she has learned to give kisses!!! And of course, Aunt Kate gets the last one for this post! I wish I could have got more pictures of he actual wedding, but I will try to post some when the photographers come in... Tracy and Pat actually got a lot of really good ones if you want to look on their blog as well. But, believe me when I say that it was a BEAUTIFUL WEDDING! We are so happy that David is officially a part of our family now!

CONGRATS TO MR. AND MRS. HOLLINGWORTH..... WE LOVE YOU BOTH!!!!

And after a day of so much fun... after everyone was gone... we presented Katie her final "basket" or box... it was filled with her something old and new (Grandmas ring made into a four leaf clover) , Something borrowed (Grandma Junes perfume "white linen" that is my moms), and her something blue, you will have to find out the day of the wedding (really cute!!!) AND a card telling her that just us girls were going to Oceanside to spend a relaxing weekend, just us, on the beach!
