WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!**
I couldn't help it!


WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005)
On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends hair salon. 
After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready. 
 Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking. 
My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in.
This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny!
It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park. 
THE CEREMONY!
After all that hard work to make it so I didn't have to hold my dress up my dad steps on it (and we got a picture to prove it!) and pulls it down. For the rest of the ceremony and pictures I have to lift my dress whenever I walked.
AFTERWARDS
More people up my dress! Trying to fix it so I don't have to hold it up.
Groom: M Best Man: Mike Groomsmen: Big Mike (Mike's Dad), Uncle Mark
Bride: Me! Maid of Honor: Katie (red hair), Bridesmaids: Kelly (Mike's wife, far left), Censie (pronounces Kenzie, far right)
Flower Girl: Cherokee (Uncle Mark's daughter)  Ring Bear: My nephew Alex
This is by far the cutest picture! I love it!
THE RECEPTION!
Mr. & Mrs.
Our grooms cake had a plane on it because M loves planes. One day he still has the goal of having his pilot's license. 
Our cake topper was from a garage sale. I love Dreamsicles and I saw this and had to have it. They were selling it because they got divorced. We were hoping that it wasn't full of bad luck but we are doing good so far.
My wedding shoes. I wore them the whole time and they were so comfy. They were just cheap flip-flops with crocheted yarn to make them look fancy. There were great. My mom surprised us with them. My girls wore them for the reception. 
Right before this picture was taken M was making jokes about cutting the cake. He is always joking around!
I think he got the biggest piece of cake that he could grab before mom or dad could tell him no.
Alex's brother Dylan enjoying an equal size of cake.
Our first dance. We danced to "It's Your Love" by: Tim McGraw and Faith Hill
Father Daughter Dance! We dance to "Butterfly Kisses" and then before the last verse I had the DJ change it to "The Twist" because my dad and I always dance to that song anywhere we are that plays it. My dad kept saying "I got punk'd" even though he had no real idea what that really meant. 
Hanging outside getting some air as things start slowing down. Just enjoying a few moments with my dad.
And some friends are blowing bubbles.
When all of a sudden Katie starts freaking out because she got a bubble in her eye. It's so funny that we got a picture of that too.
So that's it! Our whole wedding! It was a great day and we had lots of fun. I'm so grateful for my husband and the life that we have together.

    Thank you! We went out to dinner on Friday and then Dad wanted Rex over night on Saturday so we rented some movies and hung out at home. It was pretty laid back because our cruise is our anniversary present a month late.

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

Monkey's Surgery

So I finally downloaded pictures and I thought I'd share the cute pictures of my little boy after his surgery he had in April. No one should have surgery at 3 years old but poor little Monkey had to have his gallbladder removed due to his blood disorder called spherecytosis.  I had to stay in bed with him afterwards. He didn't want me to go anywhere. However, being pregnant made it so I had to use the bathroom quite often so luckily he was OK with Aunt Tiffany or Grandma holding his hand while I went. He hadn't been aloud to eat for almost 48 hours. He was starving! He ate almost the whole plate of pancakes and the nurses were shocked he could eat so much. They kept encouraging us to get him up and out of the room later in the afternoon after the surgery. So we headed out in the wagon first. He wasn't to happy about being moved and we made him walk a little bit in the room but he was glad to be out.  Granny and Great Po...
