June 11

I am quite a bit behind on my blogging. I hope to catch up over the next couple of days. The weekend of June 11-12 was quite busy. On the morning of June 11, Rachel, Tim's mom and I all went to Claire's wedding shower. Claire and Tim have been friends for many years and went to school together.

Rachel and I spent quite a bit of the shower outside while everyone else was inside. She placed her stuff down at the table and played there for at least 30 minutes.

We had a great lunch out on their patio overlooking Rancho Santa Fe. I had to leave as soon as we finished lunch and before the table of desserts that looked amazing. I wish I would have taken a picture of it. Rachel kept walking up to it and kept her hands off (for the most part) even though is was so tempting. Rachel and Heather stayed at the shower while I heading off to the Johnson/Johnson wedding in Fallbrook.

Brianne's best friend growing up was Amanda Johnson and she got married to Travis Johnson (no relation to each other before the wedding...at least we hope not). I always made fun of Amanda because when she was growing up she always said she was going to take her maiden name of Johnson and make it her middle name and then her married name would be her new last name. That doesn't work so well when they are the same name. She would be Amanda Johnson Johnson.

Amanda looked absolutely beautiful.

Amanda came in on a boat and then her and Travis left on the boat.

Mr. and Mrs. Johnson (She doesn't even have to go and get a new drivers license.)

A good time was had by all. There was an open bar and many people took advantage of it, including Brianne, who doesn't normally drink. She put chocolate on her tooth and we took a picture of it.

There was a lot of dancing. Lacey even got Tyler out there for a little bit.

The whole family...minus Tim and Chris who couldn't make it. Brianne and I were each other's dates.

There is a story behind this picture. We were reenacting a moment after Brianne's wedding where Amanda had had a few drinks and couldn't keep her eyes open during a picture. We had taken a few pictures and in every one, Amanda's eyes were closed. The only way we could get an open eye picture was with her holding them open. Congratulations Amanda and Travis!!!
