Trip to Orlando

SO... earlier in the summer we got a free ticket in the mail to Universal, and Universal is also doing a promotion where teachers get in free. We took the opportunity and decided to take a mini-vacation to Orlando. I brought my point-and-shoot (I regret it now!) and this is what we got! It was a blast!

Anden and Elise loved the merry-go-round in Dr. Suess land!!

They were so good the entire time! I couldn't believe they were my children!
Daddy and Anden posed with the Cat. Anden was so terrified of the many characters at Universal. We were so excited to get a picture of him and Spiderman. As you can tell from the absence of the picture... it didn't go so well.
Cute little Elise!
While at the park it started to pour! We found a dry spot under and awning and Elise took a little doze.

We went to Downtown Disney and ate at the Rainforest Cafe (kinda a tradition). We had a great time!

The trip to Orlando was well worth it! We had a really awesome time. Anden is at the age where he can really enjoy it. Papaw also came to visit while we were there. I will be posting more pictures soon from our trip to GWIZ and our week at the beach.

Pics from Rach's Wedding

So, like I said in my previous post, I didn't take a lot of pictures, but this is what I have to share. The first pictures are from the rehearsal. Rachel looked beautiful as always. The kids were a little hard to handle. Sonya, Rach's best friend, helped so much. That is her trying to wrestle Anden!

These are a few picture of all the girls getting ready. We had so much fun! The ladies that did our hair and make-up were awesome and a blast to be around!

Here are a few detail shots I got before the actual chaos started! I was so bummed I didn't get one good picture of Rachel in her wedding gown. I know the hired photographers got a bunch...

Here are two pictures from the reception. One of Rach and Mom (doesn't my Mom look amazing) toward the end of the night and one of Rach and Dad dancing. That's it. Sorry I don't have more.:(

Dustin joins the Family!

So, I don't have any pictures ready to post yet, but Rachel's wedding was absolutely beautiful! The ceremony was filled with love! They released doves at the end of the ceremony... amazing! Rachel was the most breathe-taking bride I have ever seen! The reception was a blast. Elise and Anden did an awesome job and looks so darn adorable. SO... I would like to officially welcome Dustin to our family. I called him my brother-in-law for the first time today and it was kind of weird. He's a good guy and truly love Rach. I will post pictures soon! Believe it or not, I took very little pictures, I was so busy with made of honor stuff. I have a few though.
