The Wedding!

Brooke & Chris tied the knot on September 13, 2008 at 6 p.m. The wedding was held at Fair Oaks Ranch, TX. I had a great time seeing family members that I hadn't seen since Brent's graduation from high school 4 years ago! The wedding location was beautiful, and Brooke's decorations were too. Mom had fun being with her brother and being the stand-in wedding coordinater. :-) The night before the wedding, the bridal party stayed at the ranch in 2 of the guest cottages. Before bed that night, there was Sumo wrestling, homeade ice cream & brownies, then the girls sat up doing their nails and talking. The day of the wedding was CRAZY, as most wedding days are! We got up and had breakfast (and plenty of coffee!) then walked to the ceremony location to finish up the decorating. Then after lunch, we all started getting ready! It was a challenge to get the bride, 9 bridemaids, and the flower girl ready for the wedding in a 2 bedroom - 1 bathroom house! But, thankfully, we had several hours to do it! Here are some pictures from the wedding :-) Sorry they are not in order.

Labor Day Weekend

The school took its first field trip on Friday! First, we went to our favorite mexican restaurant, then went to a museum. It was very interesting and the kids really enjoyed it.Only part of our students were able to come, some were out of town.



Our guide was a very patient lady who used to be a teacher herself.I'm not really sure who goes to church here :) lol.Lydia is going home on Thursday. This is her and my Pappaw after we ate lunch with my grandparents Sunday.

Brooke's Wedding :)

I am so excited about Brooke's wedding on the 13th! It's going to be so much fun :) The location is a ranch that is just beautiful! The grandparents, mom, caleb and me will be driving down the Wednesday and Thursday before the wedding and coming back the Sunday and Monday after. (I might have said this in another blog entry, but i can't remember so I'll just say it again!) Here are some pictures of Brooke and her fiance Chris, the wedding location, and also the bridesmaid dresses.
