Wedding Photos!!

I'm finally posting my favorite wedding photos.  Everytime I go through them, I say "Oh, that's definitely a favorite!" I just love them all because they all have such special memories attached! I feel so blessed!
So here you go, my "favorites!" And know that I've cut many so that this post wouldn't be miles long.. Haha!!

Wedding morning begins!!

Lacy's beautiful dress, pearls borrowed from Grammy,
 and she wore my veil that I wore at our wedding 28 years ago!

Jordan's mom, Angie, did Lacy's hair and make-up.

Alia curled Bella's (the flower girl) hair.

Madison, Lacy's roommate from college, curled Kaylee's hair.

Molly getting her hair curled.

Alia getting ready. Madison in the background taking a turn keeping
Willy away from hot curling irons and make-up.

The Beautiful Bride!

Lacy and Grammy.

Bride and maid of honor!! My beautiful sweet girls!!

This one really  tugs at my heartstrings!

In come the junior bridesmaids.

Madison and Alia - so lovely!

Wish this one had sound. Willy thought it was hysterical that Bella was throwing
 petals on the floor. I could hear him laughing the whole time!

Love, love, love their smiles!!

LOVE

Outside the church they were married in.

Their first dance as man and wife.

Daddy/Daughter Dance

Everyone had such fun celebrating!

Willy Loved dancing and usually found his way to the middle!

I promise I didn't plant the other kids behind the cake but I love that they
 are right there with such loving smiles for their sister and new brother!!!

I always referred to Lacy and Alia to my 2 'big girls" that were in college and on their own.
 Now I have the privilege of saying my 3  "big" kids!!  I love you all!

So proud of Carl and the speech he gave.
 We are so honored and blessed to welcome Jordan into our family!

Jordan's speech brought some tears! Such loving thoughts!

And Alia's speech was so special; fillled with sisterly love (and a bit of Alia sass!!)

Guess who caught the boquet?!

Getting ready to leave!

By the end of the evening Willy was DONE!! But he had a great time!!

Taking Time for Family

Just wanted to share some of our special family time while we were in England for Lacy and Jordan's wedding. Stay tuned ..... next blog will be wedding photos!!

Lacy and Jordan in their home!

Relaxing at the house after our long journey to England.

Molly's Christmas present from Jordan and Lacy. She was speechless!

Carl did a great job with driving! I was disoriented the whole time thinking we were on the wrong side of the road!

Such special times when we are all gathered around a table together!

Our first train ride!

In Worcester (the place the sauce is named after!)

In the cathedral

Hot chocolate while we wait for our train back!

The girls playing Parcheesi with Jordan. Lacy made the Parcheesi game for Jordan for Christmas, complete with clay animals for the pieces.

Can't go to England without eating fish and chips! Willy loved it!!

Riding the cliff train at Bridgnorth. Lacy was VERY excited!

Full English breakfast: Eggs, sausage, bacon,  hashbrown, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans, black pudding, and toast.  

The cafe at the church. The cafe is open to the public on Friday and Saturday mornings as a community outreach.

Jordan, Lacy, and their friend Sarah leading worship at church.

The church praying over Lacy and Jordan - may God bless their marriage!

Warwick Castle

A picnic at the castle!

And thanks to the internet we could get sweet little videos like this from Junior in Guatemala!!
