More, Better Wedding Photos

Brad scanned a few wedding pictures into the computer and I wanted to share them with you!  The picture of a picture I did this morning was, in all fairness, pretty pathetic. 

BTW, I got roses, a Dr. Pepper, and some M&M's from my hubby today....I won't tell you which one of those three items I was most excited about receiving, but I bet you can guess!

Onto the pictures:



Hannah and Rebekah, seems like just yesterday they were this age!  Now they are both beautiful young ladies!






This is our wedding party, good-looking group, eh?  Funny thing, Brad and I are not married in this picture.  This was before the ceremony. 







During the 15-minute ceremony.  No kidding, 15 minutes long. 

 


Now, we are married, can't you tell by the smiles?  This is one of our favorite photos from our weddding.  Could be because I thought my cake was phenomonal.  Almost didn't have flowers on it though because the florist forget all the flowers for the cake and the cake table.  She had to go all the way back into town and get them. 

Now, I promise not to bore you with any more wedding photographs (until next year!)



14 Years Ago.....

There was a wedding! 

(This is a picture of a picture so my apologies for the quality.)

Brad told me "Happy Anniversary" this morning, but at 6:07 a.m. I seem to have difficulty speaking, so this is my "Happy Anniversary" to him. 

And to all of you who were involved in our wedding, thanks for being part of that day.  Let's look at the picture and see who has changed the most :)

Fun-For-Some Fun Run

Here we are at the starting line of our 1 mile fun run. That's Gogurt in the orange shirt on the front row. That's me and Poptart a couple of rows back. (she's the one with the white hooded sweatshirt on and the only one on their mother's hip). Gogurt took off strong, but then he lost a shoe, and according to him, that cost him the whole race. He lost several seconds having to turn around and put his shoe back on. As far as Poptart, apparently no one told her this was a fun run because she never had one second of fun. She refused to get down and run or walk or do anything on her own two feet. So I carried her most of the way. Fun. As my daddy would say,"We were in it right up until the beginning."

Every child that participated (even the one that was carried) was handed a medal when they crossed the finish line. Here's Gogurt with his "serious running" face on or is it his "i'm about to hyperventilate" face? Not sure.

After the trauma from the race, Poptart decided she would get down and try to enjoy the rest of the day. Now this is what she calls fun.

Overall we had a very good experience at Ham Jam.

And I absolutely cannot end without giving a high-five congrats to my Mother who came in 3rd place in her age division for walking in the 5K (that's almost 4 miles!)! I'm so proud of her! She has inspired me to consider entering the 5K next year, walking of course, but walking 5K by myself would be better than carrying a 40-pound child a mile!

Pictures!

My blog was going into picture withdrawal so I chose a few random pictures to share with you today.


This picture is of me and the kids back home where I grew up. My mom took the picture. My kids love getting out in the woods behind my parents house. The creek is especially inviting!

He was given the football for his birthday. I think he liked it.
I love this picture of Brad and Gogurt. This was Gogurt's first MSU football game!


And this picture explains itself!
