Oh, so much excitement!

Where to even begin - a lot has been going on here!

Last week my sister moved into a cozy little place just like two minutes from us. We can walk there! I'm so happy to finally have family so close by. Hopefully she'll like it in our somewhat boring of a town.

Friday we all went wedding dress and bride maid dress shopping. When I say all of us; there was eleven of us! My sister Sara is having all her sisters stand up in her wedding (six of us) so there's a lot of excitement there. Sara tried on tons of dresses and looked gorgeous, (and I'm not just saying that) in all of them. Honestly, I'm pretty sure my sister could be a model for magazine's, she was however on the cover of our local junior colleges catalog. She's so photogenic and she sparkles in all the dresses. The one I believe she has picked is beautiful and for a candle light wedding - it's going to be stunning!! As for bridesmaid dresses - I think she's getting the color narrowed down (a beautiful brown) and going to let us all wear something similar but different to flatter all of our bodies. I'm mostly getting excited to have a sister that's married like me!

This weekend we went to the roller hockey rink and skated. Basically I'm horrible and hockey and can never again make fun of players. It was fun - Landen loved it on his new skates, Kurt got some practice in for the tournament in a couple of weeks, and Amelia basically crawled around the rink like a little crazy person. Then it started to rain and we had to leave so when we got home Landen and I jumped in the mini river flowing down the road.

Sunday we went for a hike - I decided I love hikes when I'm not tired! It was fun though and a gorgeous day for hiking. We even decided to walk across the water, which led to some great excitement from Landen & Amelia.

As for pictures, and you know I usually have them. I can't share any from the dress shopping - Jake might see them and nobody is allowed to see the bride until she's all dressed up on her big day. Only - 7 months to wait! And for everything else - I didn't bring my camera; we just enjoyed each other without the constant snapping of pictures and will remember the fun without them.

I hope everyone else had a great weekend - sorry for the catch up post. I've been a big neglectful over here - concentrating on Momma In Flip Flops2; my review blog!
