Bridal Faire, Crafts, Dance Recital, and Mothers Day weekend...

DISCLAIMER: PICTURE OVERLOAD, Beware there is really a TON of pictures, I am trying my hardest to take more, I'd say I was pretty successful this last month ;) ... WOW can you believe we are ALREADY halfway through May?!? Where does the time go?? The beginning of the month for me was hecktic to say the least! I kicked it off with finals week, I have never been so RELIEVED to have school over with! Ha Now I can focus on work more, as well as being a better wife- poor Colt I have really been slacking lately! Event season kicks off in May, we go from having events here and there to all of a sudden EVERY weekend! It is sure a busy time for the Castle,which is a great thing because that means buisness is picking up! Whitli and I get to go to the Bridal shows in the Fall, Winter, and Spring- it is a good change of pace, and really kind of fun to get creative with our booth/table/spot thing ;) I am really late posting these pictures, but I must do them justice and show off our booth... It was SIMPLE, BRIGHT, and SPRINGY, and the best part is we made it all from scratch... We are no pros by any means, but we were pretty proud of ourselves and what we accomplished :)

 We made the curtain (Clearly the lines don't line up perfectly) the imperfections of it makes it real, and cute.. We found the cute table at the DI for 10 dollars and painted it pink, the vase was left over from a event, so we painted it also, and we made the banner as well :) Lets just say spray paint and glue guns are our best friends :)

 

Can I just say how amazing Whitli is?! She is seriously the brains and glue that hold the Castle together! She is awesome, and I am so grateful that I have been able to work with her- she has truly become such a dear friend!! And no we did not match our outfits on purpose, haha as they say: "Great minds think alike!" ;) 

I have REALLY had the craft itch as of late, to fufill that urge Colt let me get something from my most favorite craft store: The Wood Connection... When we lived in Salt Lake I would go into that place at least every other day.. It is such a fun store-- and I REALLY miss it!! So I got a Flip Flop door hang, and some little birds (cause they were SOO CUTE!)... 

 Before :) 

 A little scrap book paper, sanding, paint and VOILA! :) They are officially CUTIFIED! 

 PERFECT for summer! I love crafting! 

Since it was dance recital week, and Mothers day weekend I was able to go home for a few days, a much needed break from the craziness of life! I always love going home- I mean who doesn't?! Jess, Jord, Kyler and I all  went home on Wednesday for Dance recital so the husbands and Kayson came up Friday to get some much OVERDUE yard stuff done for my parents. It was a great week/ weekend- but it went by WAY too fast! Since we got there on Wednesday we had a day or so before the dance craziness began, so naturally Kyler entertained us most of the time, it was great! She is such a hoot, and has such a sassy personality! She ALWAYS has to have on her "Pretties"(necklaces) and she gets pretty upset if you even ATTEMPT to take them off of her...:) 

 

 She thought she was pretty hot stuff being pushed around in a laundry basket.. haha

Goose was having more fun than Kyler Bug! 

 Oh the Joys of being a Aunt, Babies are the best! 

Since Mr. Horse was so successful with our Beckham boy when they were in Burley last, Bumpa wanted to try putting this little miss on to see if she would like it as well, and BOY she did! She giggled, and smiled the whole time! haha and on the picture on the left gave Mr. Horse alot of kisses! :) 

It is crazy to think that Jayme is the only one left at home... My parents are almost empty nesters-- INSANE! It is even more insane how fast Jayme is growing up-- she is going to be in 9th grade next year, the HIGH SCHOOL!! AHH!! She has turned into such a GORGEOUS dancer, so fun to watch!! Dance recital was hilarious, long, and full of fun like always,this year they did Circus De Mistique.. or something to that effect.. haha I prob. just slaughtered the name, but oh wells.. haha here are some pictures!!   

Memers is the one in the middle... 

 Mom is always on the Stage Crew-- She is so cute, here is her giving Memer her awards... 

It wouldn't be Recital without flowers, and Dad there to give out the flowers!! I love seeing this, it is my favorite part of it all... 

 Daddys girl all the way!!! Her face looks FREAKY! 

 My Meme Jean, She has officially out grown me! 

 Goose helped back stage as well, she also helped with the Creepy makeup the girls all had to wear... ha

The Crew

The twins, beautiful as always... :)

Our Mothers Day gift to my Mom this year was helping her in the yard, as well as deep cleaning her house for her :) While we were there throughout the week, Jess and I did yard work, weeding, and edging-- for such a small area it sure takes FOREVER! But it was a good workout, and we got tan while doing it!! The boys came up on Friday night, and Saturday morning they started on the list my Dad had made, while us girls  worked inside...

 Bry Mowing the never ending lawn! 

Kayson and Meme stealing the four wheeler before anyone notices its gone... haha They were two peas in a pod.. Kayson loves his Meme! 

 Bry taking a break to have some fun... haha on a SCOOTER. 

 Colt was a weed wackin maniac! 

Hard at work! 

 Kayson enjoying some down time... 

 I have the most handsome, hard working hubby in the world! I know I say this in like every post- but I truly mean it! I am so blessed to have found him!! I am so grateful he is so willing to help out and do things that my Dad simply physically cannot do anymore- It means alot to me, and my parents!

Happy Mothers Day (a day late) to the two most amazing, beautiful women we know! Momma Tammi and Momma Janye!! We love you both so very much and are so grateful for everything you both do! Jayne we will be making up for not being able to be there to celebrate mothers day with you, when we see you guys next weekend!! Love you!!!
