4th of July

I know this one is a little late but better late than never!!! For the 4th of July we had our families out to our house for some fun in the water, a cook out, fireworks (both small and large) and then a showing of Indepedence Day at the Baker Backyard Theater. It was a fun filled day at Klinger Lake!!!

Weekend surprises and dinner fun!

This weekend started off with a surprise by Erin for me, a cake made by Candice Swanwick! You see, Candice was supposed to make our wedding cake last summer, however she had a prior engagement that caused her to not be able to make it (having twins!!). Erin was so sneaky to surprise me with the cake Friday, little did she know that I had a surprise in store for her as well! Doug Bates, owner of Designs By Vogt's, and I were emailing back and forth Friday to get a flower arrangement designed using a flower that Erin really liked! So on Saturday morning, while we were running errands, I suggested we stop by Doug's place to see if he had a nice arrangement we could buy. Luckily, he had it all done, and Erin was totally surprised!

Later that day, we had Aaron and Rachel Smith over for dinner. They showed up with some very nice and tasty appetizers!!! First time I have ever had caviar! And it wasn't too bad! After the apps, and after the storms passed, we grilled up some juicy filets and lobster tails for dinner, and had some of the awesome cake for dessert!

A fun weekend, with lots of surprises and good times with friends! Enjoy the photos!

One Year and Still going STRONG

Well it has been a year since Kirby and I got married, where that year went I'm not sure. All I can say is it was a fun filled first year of marriage and we did not kill each other which is the most important part :). Seeing we could not go back to Hawaii for our anniversary we decided to do the first ever "Movie Night at the Baker Backyard Theatre". We had spent a few weeks ahead of time planning and building the large outside screen and getting all our movie snacks together. When the big day came we had decided to show Wedding Crashers The Uncut Version (it was an adult only event not to worry) and had lots of fun movie snacks.

We had a great time and a fun group of people showed up for the movie. Even though it was not as good as going back to Hawaii we enjoyed it never the less. Heres hoping the next 50 plus years go as well as the firt one did. Enjoy the photos from the movie night!!
