JUNE

JUNE:
The first weekend in June we spent at Derby Days and playing in the water in our backyard. We didn't have the pool up yet, but we had a slip-n-slide and waterguns! What more do you need. Mom and Audrey's boys came up and went with us as well as some of our good friends. It was a hot one but we managed to ride some rides and get wet after to cool off. All in all a really fun day!

Our next big event in June was our baseball player, Rickey Noland's wedding. Rickey was our first boy and he lived with us for two summers. For those of you who were around Rickey became like our own and we just love him to pieces. We were very excited to hear that he would be getting married this summer, unfortunately it was the same weekend as Todd's biggest softball tournament EVER!! So I talked Mom into road tripping with me and Reed to Natchez, MS for the wedding. We took a side trip on the way and visited my college roommate and her family in TX and on the way back. She has a daughter just a little older than Reed and we were grateful for toddler playtime to break up the trip. He did great riding though, and the wedding was beautiful...hot, but beautiful. I can honestly say I've never sweated so much in my life!!! Can't believe the boy got dehydrated in KANSAS! A big thank you to my Mom though, she kept me sane and kept Reed out of trouble...mostly...he did stick his finger in the groom's cake! He has been wanting to go back to Ippissippi for pawrty cake since we got home! In case you didn't know...every party must have cake! This is a Hackleman trait...the love of cake!
