30 Days... Day 5

Ok, so I had a little skip in the "30 Days" series... we have been busy lately!! Day 5 is a picture of your favorite memory. Well... I have LOTS of pictures of this. On April 25, 2009 my brother got married, and it was a wonderful weekend. I was 37 weeks pregnant with Ella (yes, I was a little uncomfortable!!), and I was getting a wonderful new sister-in-law and niece. It was a wonderful time in our lives!

The first picture I posted solely for the purpose of seeing the shoes. I picked these shoes when I was 5 months pregnant -- I weighed alot less, and I was not swollen.... look how things change. (No Ms. Piggy comments Matt!!!) I did manage to wear them though!!


Here are pictures of us getting ready at the church. I thought this was a beautiful picture of Crystal.
 

I really liked this picture of Abby and Crystal!! Abby was having so much fun dressing up like a princess.

Like I said, LOTS of pictures!! Here are a couple of everyone.
 


The Happy Couple



Family Pictures ...


Me and Dustin


Me and Daddy
 



Ok I have to brag on my Mom -- I thought this was a really good picture of her, but look at some of the recent pictures of her from Ella's Birthday Party!! I am so proud of her and how much weight she has lost!!! She looks beautiful!!

More of the happy couple!!


What a good looking group of boys!!!


Look at my swollen feet!!!


Dustin and Crystal's Escorts!!


...and the best part of a wedding... the cake!!


And of course the toast!! --That is Jenn, Crystal's sister hidden behind the tent pole. She was a great Maid of Honor, and I really enjoyed getting to hang out with her!


The first dance.


My cousins Taylor and Kristen, aren't they beautiful??


Me and My Mommy!!!

...and then the hard liquor came out!!!
...Alan might have enjoyed some too...

At some point my brother ended up getting thrown in the pool!! I love this picture because I think he looks Daniel Craig-ish!!!

Random Pictures... 









This was also a very bittersweet time for our family. We had just recently found out that my Grandaddy had esophageal cancer. He had surgery the Tuesday after the wedding, and he fought very hard for the next two years!! Unfortunately, he lost his battle in January of 2011. This was the last family event we had that he really felt well, and that is why this is one of my favorite memories.


Grandaddy, Uncle Tony, and Daddy


Mammy and Grandaddy


Grandaddy, Aunt Terri, Taylor, and Kristen

Grandaddy loved to dance, and we all loved watching Mammy and Grandaddy dance!! He had alot of fun dancing tht night!!

 


I love you, Grandaddy!!
