Five years from my last family update because I started working more, we have a growing family, and I did not want to post out of date, or forget a single memory, so I stopped writing.  I'm just picking up right here.  Matt and Holly got married in June 2012.

It was a fabulous event.  Ben, Taylor, and I flew to Wisconsin.  Holly's family was wonderfully welcoming.  It was a great time!

Before the wedding, Dan, Holly's dad, took this picture for us.  And here are some more pictures...

We always said we wanted to go back and visit.  We said we would attend other weddings of Holly's brother's and sister's.  Unfortunately, that has not happened.  But, it sounds like we will have more opportunities to visit Wisconsin.  

Mother's Day 2012

 On Mother's Day 2012 we went to Avondale Golf Club for brunch.  Although, Matt works many weekends, I'm so glad he was able to come out for brunch before heading off to work.  He and Holly actually met Ben for golf, early, before brunch. 

 Dave and Jeanette (grandpa and grandma) met us for brunch as well. 

 Taylor had a little gift for me

 After brunch we went and watched YeoWon play a little soccer...

 Then Taylor and I rode along in the golf cart while Holly and Ben played the back nine.

 I just love to be out with a glass of wine and enjoy the scenery.  Holly let me hit a few, I'm really not so good, but I do enjoy getting some pictures...

 A few days before Mother's Day, Holly watched Taylor, while I had dinner with some mom friends.  When I went to pick her up, I was completely surprised with a cupcake bouquet...

 I was so impressed with the detail of the "dirt" made of oreo cookie crumbs with gummy worms and every cupcake decorated with a flower...

 And a card made with Taylor's hand print!!  So sweet!!  Thanks Holly!!
