Fun with Friends

This past week our friends, the Todds, were in town from Augusta.  We all had a little adult hang-out time on Friday celebrating Joe's birthday at Houston Lake.  Joe rode us all over on the pontoon boat, and the ride was so relaxing.  On Saturday, Joe invited us over to his parent's house for "pizza and playing" for the kids.  Nathan and Emily also joined in on the fun, as well as Mitch's parents.  We had 6 wild kiddos under the age of 5....wow.  I don't think any of us sat down the entire time.  We had a fun boat ride on the pontoon, and the kids wore themselves out!  We have a Greer-Todd-Greer beach trip planned for the summer, and it's going to be a wild week together!  We're looking forward to the madness! :)

Kyle and Candace's Engagement Party

Saturday night, Kyle and Candace had their first wedding celebration party.  An engagement party was hosted at the Aunt B's home.  Aunt Brenda is Mitch and Kyle's aunt.  She and the hostesses did a wonderful job setting everything up, and it was absolutely gorgeous.  The weather was perfect, and the night was fun.  Here are a few pictures from the evening.

Some of the beautiful tables.  The flowers were so pretty.

Mullet Cut...

So as cute as Ansley is, she had something that has been driving me crazy...a mullet!  Some curly mullets on kids are cute, but stringy mullets are just plain redneck!  I've been wanting to get her mullet cut for a while, and I finally took care of it today!  Wedding festivities are beginning this weekend for Kyle and Candace, and I couldn't have my baby looking like a redneck for the guests! :)  I took her to Susan at Season's.  She cuts Mitch's hair and also specializes in kids' hair.  Overall, Ansley did okay.  You can see her face in the pictures...she's not so sure about the situation.  She whined the entire time, but she never had any real tears.  She looks so cute in her new hair style.  I hope it starts to grow more evenly, or we'll be back to take care of that mullet! 

Before...nappy mullet - not cute!

Please excuse my nappy hair too...it's Spring Break (and it was raining today!)

Close up on the action.

Not sure at all!

All done!
