ANOTHER Wedding

This past weekend was my cousin's wedding. It was held in my parent's back yeard. They spent, easily, over $2,000 on landscaping and other home improvements -- but the kicker is that they did ALL the yard work / labor by themselves!!!

As the pictures below demonstrate, it was well worth the effort. For those of you that have not been out to my place back home, hopefully this will entice you into coming out this September for another party (like last year). Now I just gotta float that idea past my mom and dad!!!.

I'll just let the pictures do all the talking!

Here is the view of the house when you first pull into the yard.
Can you believe it's nearly 15 years old???

This is the front flower garden just north of the garage

Here is a close up of the left side of that flower bed. Gotta love that pig!

AND the right side of the flower bed

The picture and the next one come from the flower bed in front of the house.
I don't know where this was found...but it's pretty cool.

My parents have a knack at finding these kinds of statues.

Here is the west side flower bed

And more of the west side. Check out the lizard and the humming bird ball

We're getting too "girly"...I'll fix this by showing hot cars!
These were the cars that transported the wedding party.

Southwest corner now...wait, what's that lurking?

Why...it's an alligator!

This swing is about the most comfortable thing you'll ever sit on. On the left side of the picture, you can see a REAL old fashioned butter churn...filled with flowers, of course.

Southeast flower garden / retaining wall.
There is actually 3 different levels to this flower bed.


South view of the house. The walk out basement makes it look HUGE

This is the outside of our outdoor bar...has to be seen to be believed.

This is pretty cool...it's called a "living easel".

Here is a close up. As you can see, the bird house is shaped like a church.

This was built, from scratch, and served as the "alter"

Around the alter were these heart shaped hanging baskets.

One thing Cori did for the wedding was make this aisle runner.

Here is a close up of the finished product.
She monogrammed it and everything.

Now I'm just bragging...
Here is some baby photo's of my cousin's youngest son.

And here is ANOTHER baby photo of my other cousin's daughter.



This cake WAS a delicious as it looks


AND FINALLY

This has nothing to do with the wedding...but it's my parents wood fired barbeque. That puppy can cook more than 120 steaks at a time!!!
