O.T.W.

My weekends are consumed with wedding parties and planning. Blah, blah, blah.... but over the past weekend the party was for Ryan (and me too)!

We had a tool and garden party courtesy of my cousins on my mom's side. It was an intimate party, as I only invited a few of our closest friends from my hometown.

Ryan's brother- Clay, Ryan, and Ryan's cousin- Daniel. You can so tell they are kinfolks.

The couple of the hour. We were about to embark on a journey of gift opening. (p.s. ryan's handsome)

 We couldn't imagine what this gift would be...

Was it a gun? Why in the world would someone give us a huge gun at the garden and tool party?

Or was it a HUGE whistle???

Oh, it was actually hedge trimmers. Who would have thought?

A little bit of the audience.

Since it was a garden and tool party it only seemed right for my bridesmaids to make me look like a flower!!

And NO party would be a wedding party or shower without this kid:

And a picture with the lovely hostesses...

The party was a lot of fun. Ryan and I got some really cool items for the yard and home. Now, we just need to hit up Home Depot and spend some gift cards!
