Mini Vacations

Well we have been busy over the past couple weeks!  We are trying to make the most of time off...me being unemployed and still looking for a job in Charlotte and Ryan waiting to get his license so he can start working:)  We started these mini vacations off with separate trips to the beach with our friends.  Ryan went with his dental school friends....and leave it up to a group of guys to not take any pictures!  I however went with some of my girl friends and their sweet little ones and I could not resist taking pictures!  This picture sums up our week....wine glasses and sippy cups...

We had so much fun going on long walks, cooking, playing with the kiddos, talking on the screened in porch at night with a glass of wine and just catching up with each other!

Although we are spread out all over the state and in different stages of life, I love the fact that we all make the effort to spend time together:)

Thanks Jennifer for a great week!  Can't wait to see yall again!
We also got away with the "soon to be" Cockerhams at the lake! Tripp and Traci extremely fun to be around and always have something fun up their sleeves!

Lots of dogs swiming, boat riding, strawberry shortcake and bbq eating, laughs and fun in the water.
I also road a jet ski for the first time!!

The dogs may have had more fun.....

Thanks to Tripp's grandparents we had a very relaxing and fun day at the Lake!!!

And finally our trip to Greenville to visit the Lees...love living so close to yall and we are getting spoiled seeing yall so often!  The guys played golf while we shopped and planned for this little guys 1st b-day next weekend!

We made lots of yummy meals, Rachel made the best ice cream sandwiches(which we tried to get baby Ryan to eat), practiced climbing the stairs and lunch at Pomegranate and Blueberry Frog for frozen yogurt.

I will be sad when we have to go back to the real world and work during the week:(

Graduation Party

I have been planning this party for four years!  I have to admit I went a little overboard with the "tooth theme".  But like I said...we waited four years for this party!  Prepare yourself for lots of pictures:)
Dr. and Mrs. Londry

Me with the twins Rachel and Rebecca.

Rachel, Me, Ryan's Mom and Aunt...my party helpers:)

Ryan and Andy.

Ryan with his Grandmas.

I took all the furniture off the screened porch and put it in the yard and used the porch for the food tables.

 

Before all the guest arrived I got some pictures of all the little details and the food! 
I let Ryan pick the menu for the night....it was his night of course:)  For appetizers he chose Cheese, Salami, Cheese, Olives and Pimento Cheese Sammies....what can I say the boy loves Cheese!

If you look close the tooth picks are "tooth" picks:)

For the main meal we had...

Sweet Tooth Table....

 White Chocolate Teeth...

The Drinks.....We had Arnold Palmers, Londryritas (our take on the Margarita) water bottles, beer and wine!

And Denture Ice Cubes....

The night of the Graduation party also happened to be Ryan's actual birthday so I couldn't resist getting him a cake:)

 

We had lots of family and friends in town to help us celebrate!

We knew this would be a fun group so I got a bunch of fake teeth and had guests try on their new pearly whites and take a picture to capture the night...this ended up being a huge hit!  Everyone from us youngins to the grandmas took part.

At the end of the evening I had homemade tooth cookies with custom labels for all the guests to take home...the labels read "Support your local Dentist eat more Sweets".

Thanks to all of our friends and family for all the support you have given Ryan throughout his time in school and to all of you who traveled to help us celebrate his hard work on this special night!!!
