Big E and I have decided to have more 'at home dates'.  With 6 kids and an interesting work schedule, it can be difficult to find the time, money and babysitters to out on a date.  Here's a picture of our first at home date dinner...it was delicious if I do say myself.

 The first weekend of August we attended my cousin's wedding. 

 It was decorated beautifully.

 Of COURSE there were pipes!

 Little Dude took these photos....he tried to run and get the camera in time to catch them cutting the cake, because they were cutting it with an AXE!

 Then he kept the camera to take some other shots...but he was shy and nervous about being where people could see him...

 So I was getting lots of back pictures.  :)  I convinced him that people weren't really paying much attention to him and so....

 Then I got lots of side pictures!

 The bride and groom seemed to have a blast together.

 Cousin in law got roped into holding a baby so I could roam with a camera.

 Father of the Groom kickin' it back.

 While Mother of the Groom got her groove on!

 After the wedding we started back towards home.  On the way we stopped to visit dear friends, who wanted to cuddle our Copper Princess.

 It was nice to relax in the shade.

 Some of us got REALLY relaxed.  Actually, Munchkin seems to kinda prefer the shirtless feel.

 This guy is getting SO big...and he was happy to be out of a car seat and on the ground to wiggle around.
