So now on to my post for today..........................

So I mentioned in an earlier post that we recently went out to Oklahoma for our nieces wedding. We had a great time and it was so fun seeing everyone!!
My niece, Laci, was an amazingly beautiful bride and her new handsome hubby, Jeremy, seemed to make a great couple!! They asked all three of my kids to take part in their special day and of course we accepted with great honor. Hailey was the flower girl, Jarred was the miniature groom and Jake passed out bubbles and helped get the gifts to the gift table. In other words they all got dressed up in a vest, a tux, and and an amazing dress!! So of course that made this mommy go shopping for something pretty for me to wear which always brings a smile to my face..hehe
Of course I was nervous about how my little 2 yr. girl was gonna perform on this big day because I have been told by many that,
"Wow, she is such a shy little thing."..Sigh..Can you feel the start of my stress?? However on the night of the rehearsal she was all smiles and almost playing to the crowd. Whew, right?..Wrong!! Jarred was the source of my worry that night. He had the most adorable little girl to walk down the aisle with, however she was convinced that she was getting married and he was her groom!! This went over like a lead balloon. You see it seems that I am raising a group of literal Joe's here and he knows that he is WAY too young to be getting married!! So every time we would finish the practice walk through and be informed that it needed to be done 1 more time she would excitedly say..
"Yeah I just want to get married 1 more time."
And so the coaxing and prompting and yes I must say empty promises were now being made to get my 5 yr down the aisle.
So the next day came and everyone was all dressed up and ready for action...BUT, Hailey would NOT walk down the aisle by herself (No surprise there)and so I had to walk down the aisle with her...Oh yes, that made all my and I'm sure Laci's dreams come true, and Jarred was was left in the back to face his fears by himself and... he did!! He walked up the aisle without even shedding a tear!!.. Yes, he practically dragged the poor little girl up the row with him, but I say beggars can't be choosers, right?? Oh my, what a roller coaster, and my little family was just a small part of the wedding..LOL
Anyway, here are a few pics of the big day....

In honor of their wonderful day I wanted to show everyone what a gorgeous couple they are...Love you guys!!
