For Zachary James Pratt

Well Zach, another birthday come and gone, 56 years old now, wow! We just got back from a trip to Seattle for our friends Chris and Matthew's wedding. The event was at the Fairmont Olympic downtown and it was a total blast. Jeff and I were invited to sit with the wedding party and had so much fun dancing and mingling with everyone. Their honeymoon is not until January so we all went over to their house the next day for a fried chicken dinner cooked by the groom. We stayed the night and then toured Seahawk country, looking for Richard Sherman's house and where the Hawks hold all their practices. All in all a nice little getaway and fun with good friends. Hope life is treating you well, I will write again soon. Love always, Mom xox

Happy October Zach, well wedding number three has come and gone. Jessica's best friend Jenna married her sweetheart Rudge on her parents' horse ranch up in Jamestown. It was a very low-key but beautiful wedding. Gorgeous flowers and the wedding party looked amazing. The groom's grandfather performed the ceremony so that along with all the speeches brought tears to everyone's eyes. Jessica and Courtney were both in the wedding, Jessica was the Maid of honor and really helped Jenna with all the beautiful country chic touches throughout the ceremony and reception. The rest of the weekend we relaxed by the hotel pool and had brunch with the whole family. I was Aunt Christine's plus one so Jeff stayed home to take care of the kitties. It was a nice little girls getaway and I got to spend some time with aunt Christine's folks who are too fun. Now we need to prepare for our trip to Seattle where Chris and Matthew will be married at the Fairmont ...
