50th anniversary invites - woodville flora & fauna

went to woodville last weekend for jon's grandparents 50th anniversary party. we had so much fun and lots of encounters with animals.

here's the invite i did! his grandmother borrowed this dress from a friend. And for the party, his grandpa got the same military-style haircut.. how cute is that? wish i had a photo of that.



for the party, jon's mother gathered these wildflowers from a friend's yard and we made about a dozen arrangements from the stash. so pretty... i want a garden that produces these kind of blooms.



and here's a cow in their front yard...



and me & chelsey riding a horse...



and some hummingbirds! there must have been more than 25, but these little guys are hard to capture.
