The Halyburtons

We bought a new pool for the kids on Friday! Lexi loves her new Froggy pool; Jack, on the other hand, thinks the water is a bit too cold for him! I am sure once we are in the full swing of hot and humid summer days, he will love the Froggy pool too! :)

My great friend from Whitewater, Teauge and his new wife Carrie had their wedding on Saturday in Madison. The ceremony wasn't until 5:30 pm but here are a few photos of the weather we drove around to get to the ceremony...did I mention they had an OUTDOOR wedding?!?

The storm took a little break around 5:45 pm, just long enough for the beautiful ceremony to take place. Just as it was ending, more storm clouds rolled in and we all hurried to the reception...which was indoors! :)

Safely indoors, the reception began with great food, refreshing drinks and many old friends.

Here are Brian and I just arriving at the reception.

The very elegant and beautiful bride, Carrie and myself.

Here is the groom's youngest brother, Ted. Ted and I were in the same class in school at Whitewater. He is one of my oldest and closest friends.

Here is Ted's girlfriend, Leah. They have been together since Brian and I got married but this is the first time we met her. She is just a doll and does a great job of keeping Ted in line! :)


And last but certainly not least, is Mack! Mack is the middle child of the "Devitt Trio". He was living in Colorado but just recently moved to good 'ol Wisconsin! I haven't seen him for a while so it was great to catch up!

Today was Lexi's last day of swim lessons at Swimtastics. She has improved a little since her first day but we have a ways to go before she is swimming on her own. We are going to give her the summer off and enroll again in the fall. Here are a few photos of her and her classmates on their last day!

Here are her classmates:

Kaylee, Lexi and Luke

They all received little trophies filled with M & M's and also a Certificate of Completion.

A beautiful day to be outside!

Lexi's loves my glasses! One day see decided she had to wear them while she was coloring. Doesn't she look so smart?!
