TX Happens.

i went through my phone pictures...i decided i needed to catch up on recent/old happenings. 

here is a quick catch up. 

we hit up a bbq place before mr.'s softball game.
we heard about tin roof. this place is so cool.
the atmosphere was spot on.
live country music. outdoor picnic tables. loved the decor too...and the random OR sign (go, ducks)

tin roof is totes texas.
texas knows how to eat & i really appreciate that.
thank you texas for feeding me so well.

 how bad is that ^ ombre? this poor girl came into the salon with a mess up "ombre" from another salon the day before. luckily i hate lines and chunky highlights (which sadly happens to be on almost every texans head) so i knew exactly what she meant when she said she wanted a melt.

while our husbands were at priesthood we treated ourselves to thai & shave ice.

 pips has a love for slides and swings.

pippa loves to go on walks now...only because she knows it will end up at the park with a billion kids to lick and chase. she loves the park. she puts up a big fit and won't move a muscle when it's time to go. we have to pick up all 52.3 pounds of her to the sidewalk.

 we facetime martha for her surprise birthday party...
bro in-law & his gf brought pizza & i made the "cake"

i made brownie cupcakes...filled with oreos and peanut butter.
after dessert i opened up shop & did bonnie's hair.

btw how great are bath and body's spring line?
loving my scents.
smells of summer. mmmmm can't wait...or can i?
i've heard enough bad things about the humidity...i'm a little scared.

Emma's Wedding.

Part 1: Getting Ready

I gave Mary the job of "teasing" "backcombing" whatever you want to call it. Looking super hot.

would my dad even know how to open a bottle of polish? let alone paint my toes?
maybe this is totally normal task when your a dad of 5 girls. 

Emma looks so pretty in these photos. I love the "getting ready shots" hence the reason I got my camera out and HAD to snap a few. duh.

these pics just crack me up. did you know it's more stressful then one may think to do a brides hair and make-up? just a tad bit of pressure. so glad I had friends for some help.

Part 2: Temple

AND of course I had to snap some photos. I'm mean how cute?

obsessed. 

It was a lovely day in Portland, OR.
So happy for Emma and Michael!!
...reception pictures =  part 3...
get ready for some Richey girls gone wild...on the dance floor.
