Yikes! Let's Catch-up! { June happenings }

Holy Cow! Five months and finally I'm ready to blog! I have some good reasons for not blogging... 1. Lazy. Yea, that is the major one and 2. Rachel and Andrew's wedding on my mind! There were lots of wedding stuff to do and no time for blogging. But ya know, there was ALWAYS time to take snaps. So, let's catch up on things that happened in June!

 

 

above and below: We celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary on June 9th. We spent the day

at the Rose Bowl flea market in Pasadena. Here's Brian drinking a Bud.

 



On June 14th, Andrew Cook graduated from High School. Andrew is the son of our good friends, Mary Ann and Don. Brian and I attended the ceremony and his party. Here are a few

snaps taken at the party.

On June 27th, the lovely Hailee turned 1! Her mom, Shannon, asked if I would take some snaps. Of course! A few days before her birthday, we met up at my house for a few shots.

 On June 22, Brian and I headed to L.A. and met up

with our friends Joanna and Tony at the First Unitarian Church to see Iris Dement. (Brian is secretly in love with her.)

Was a good concert, but Brian was very disappointed at the sound system. Here are a few snaps.

On June 26, Brian and I, along with Mary Ann and Don, went to

the Huntington Library. We had a good time walking around, having lunch in the tea room and taking snaps!

 

 

 

On June 27th, we went with Andrew, Rachel, Stephanie and Rick

to check out the venue for the wedding! At this point,

3 more months to go!
