The Rehearsal!! Kindra's Wedding... 2 days to go!

The Bridal Party... cant believe the wedding is this saturday!!

Lilah turning 1...

I can't believe Lilah is almost 1 already.... I spent some time with Stephanie & Lilah taking some pictures today, silly little girl, likes making faces more than smiling, but she is still very cute! :)

Julie's Stagette!

For Julie's Stagette we had a wine tour by Valley Wine Tours in an SUV Limo...

what a great day! Special Thanks to our awesome driver Ron!

Here is our group ready to start the tour... they picked us up at the house!

Julie at the Fort Winery... she got a free bottle of Cranberry wine just for being the bride to be!Here we all are outside of the Fort Winery... by far the best tour/service of the day!

Mom at Lotusland... enjoying the wine?

Here is the group at Lotusland... no tour for us today as it was raining! Oh well...

On to the next stop? Us waiting for Katie (buying Merlot inside!)

Milsean Chocolate Shoppe in Aldergrove... lots of free chocolate for us!

(what was up with those old ladies sneaking in?!)

Katie enjoying everyone's Merlot at Township 7... At this point some of us were done tasting so we dumped our glasses into Katies... I dont think the winery people liked that! Haha...

Ok ok Annette... your eyes were open this time! (At Domain...)

Me and Julie at Domain

Our group at Domain... amazingly they didnt charge us for taste testing!!!

Ah, finally dinner at the Keg! Julie and Katie...

It was a great stagette... thanks to everyone involved, couldnt have had a better time!

Wow... less than 2 weeks until the wedding!

Makeup Testing...

Julie and I were talking about her wedding makeup tonight and I decided to try a more natural look for her! (considering she doesnt wear makeup normally!) Not too bad eh?

Lots of Birthday's on the way....

These pictures were taken at my brother Aaron's birthday on April 26... We have several more coming up right before the weddings! Dad and Lilah (sharing May 30th) and Katie on Jun 1st... we have a big birthday BBQ planned... should be fun!


(yes I stole this pic from Stephanie's blog... but, I didnt have the group shot!!! Thanks to Tim for getting that one!)

Weddings on the way...

Wouldn't you know it... 2 weddings to participate in... 1 week apart! Aaah... crazy for everyone, especially me! I am the maid of honor in my sister Julie's wedding... and a brides maid in my friend Kindra's wedding! The shower's are all done now for both weddings... here is a few pics from both!

This is Julie's Tea Party themed shower with family...

This is Julie's Hawaiian Themed Shower with all her friends! Both parties were on the same day... it was busy but fun, Julie had a great time!

Kindra's Shower and Stagette was on the same day... her sister Courtney did a nice job planning the fun day!
