Jasmine & Pat Telley's Wedding

Jasmine and Pat Telley, the Bride and Groom
Dan and Chris Veskerna, father and mother of the bride
from Fremont, Nebraska and  winter residents of the Sundance Active Adult Community in Buckeye, AZ

What an absolutely beautiful bride and gorgeous couple!  The reception at the Fountains Ballroom in Iowa was incredible and unique with attention given to every detail.   It definitely had a "WOW" factor that was off the charts.  A magical, Hollywood type,  fun evening that will forever be remembered not only by the bride and groom and our dear friends, Chris and Dan (the parents of the bride), but EVERYONE who attended.

Be sure to view the photos I took (click the linked slideshow in the column on the right).  They are just a small representation of the wedding as compared to some of the amazing professional photos taken by the two photographers that were there to capture the moment.  They put together an awesome photo book that will be printed as well as tons of photos.   You can view both at the following links, however, I'm not sure how long they will be posted:

On My Nature Walk in Nebraska...

It's been a while since I've posted, however, our days have been filled with one thing or another.   The trip to Nebraska was very memorable and we feel fortunate to have such terrific friends there. 

I was lucky enough to capture these wonderful photos while taking a walk near Rainbow Lake...

Our Anniversary Present...

Wooohooo!   Yep, it's a golf cart!  It's not exactly new...ummm...in fact, it's pretty darn old.  You might say it's older than the hills.  But, what the heck---it still works pretty darn good.  What more does one need, right?  Right now Neil seems to be using it most of the time.  But when cooler weather comes around, it looks like I'm going to have to cash in my chips and get MY time in the cart...lol

Just took the following pic this morning of Neil in the new (old) cart (pretty spiffy, eh?).  Neil played a round of golf  at Sundance at daybreak with son Keith, nephew Jon, and Jon's boys, Waco and Zach.  It quickly turned into another blazing hot day and the boys came back spent from the heat but ready to cool off  with some icy cold ones and chow down on some lunch on our breezy patio.



Waco showing off his golf swing form...and having a brotherly moment with Zach.

Kara, Kegan Update!

Kara is really excited about getting a new quarter horse.  Isn't she a beauty?

Kegan is into the more "extreme" sports.  Just loves getting some air between him and the ground!

It's FOOTBALL Season again!

Yep...the Cardinals LOST but we sure had a terrific time at the University of Phoenix Cardinals Stadium.  Lots of excitement in the air and here's Neil, Judy and Keith having loads of fun eating, drinking, and just being silly:

New Scrap Layouts...

And a two page layout...

Another two pager...

Kegan's Magical Place

Hmmm...the days just seem to literally "fly by" these days.  Nothing too exciting going on...just trying to get caught up on some chores, get ready for our upcoming trip, and keep up with the day to day grind.  We did manage to get some golf in and are enjoying the new golf cart we got for our anniversary (well, new to us anyway...it's actually about 30 years old, believe it or not, but it's still in pretty good shape and gets the job done as far as getting around).   Keith and our nephew Jon, along with his son Zach, are coming by in the morning to play a round of golf at Sundance so I'll try and get some pics of them as well as the golf cart.

Did I mention that DH and I will be flying to Omaha, Nebraska real soon to attend Jasmine's wedding?  Jasmine is the daughter of some very dear friends who, incidentally, made this trip possible.  We're really looking forward to staying with our dear friends, Dan and Chris, and being able to share in their excitement, joy and being a part of all the festivities.  I hope I don't embarass myself too much at the wedding by crying my eyes out (yea, I'm such a sap...lol), but weddings are always such a happy celebration.

I  finished some scrap layouts and I'll try to get some of them posted as soon as I can get them resized.  Here's another fantasy one of Kegan.  Give him any kind of tree to climb and he's definitely up for the challenge.

Kegan, So What's The Story?

DH is playing in a golf tournament this morning so....yeaaah, this is my alone time to peruse the digiworld for wonderful stuff.  And wonderful it is--I just came across this wonderful kit entitled "Where Dreams Begin" from the very talented artist of Createwings Designs at A5D.  Of course, I had to scrap something with it immediately and Kegan seemed to be the perfect subject for this story.

Now it's time to get myself in gear (which means, get out of my pj's...lol...get showered and dressed) and meet my DH.  He should have finished the golf tourney by now and we're supposed to meet up with Keith and Judy and a couple others to see our dear Arizona Cardinals play football at the University of Phoenix Stadium.  It is the Cardinals pre-season opener and should be loads of fun....toodles.

Great Blue Heron On Our Rooftop!

Okay, I know it's a lousy photo but that's what you get when you're in a hurry and all you've got is a point-and-shoot camera with a crappy telephoto lens.  Still it was kind of fun to spot that awesome bird on our roof (thanks to the alert from our neighbor).   The photo was taken on July 26th but I've finally gotten around to getting it uploaded and posted.
