Julie's Bridal Shower with the Groom's side

Today I enjoyed meeting my sister's future in-laws! We had a wonderful time at the coolest local park in Indiana. They had it all; a train, a pond, a butterfly pavillion, a petting zoo, a baseball diamond, and a water park. The cool part was... it was all free. I think the pictures speak for themselves. Everything was perfect and I am so happy for Julie that she is joining a loving and large family.

Hayes House Meals

It is no secret, my husband and our good friend, Bob love to cook. Fortunately for me they are fantastic cooks! During the weekends they enjoy getting creative with our meals. So far this summer Jason has made some of my favorites; Brisket and Pork Chops! Along with the brisket, he made his Grandma Corrie's cream corn. It was amazing, and of course it is cooked with bacon grease! As for the pork chops, using a stick of butter should be illegal, but it was AWESOME! I have taken so many photos of the meals over the years that we could probably put together a cook book.
