Wedding Pics!!

So, the ceremony was wonderful. I was little worried that Eleesha might become dehydrated after all of her tears of joy, but she seemed fine. Jake and I barely stayed for a couple of family shots, because we had all of the food for the luncheon in our car. Luckily, with the cooler temperature that day, the coolers were able to keep the food. By the way, Thank You again to all those that helped us get the food put together. We couldn't have done it without you. After the luncheon it was time to set up for the reception and get a few more pictures. Lizzi spent most of her time running around with the other little cousins. Although, Grandma and Mommy did their fair share of running after her.

The rest of us just stood around waiting for our turns in the spotlight with the bride and groom.


They wanted to be sure to get a shot of the next generation.

I don't think I have ever seen Mike so happy! I think Mike is dreaming about his new office, while Denise is trying to figure out how to get her sewing room.


The Twins!! For those that still don't know, both Jared and Eleesha are twins. The funny thing is that Eleesha's sister tried to set them up a few years ago, but neither of them would have it. If only they had known...

All of the sisters. Okay, I don't care what anybody says, but I do not look pregnant at all. I just look like I've put on about 30lbs.. There must be something wrong with my family, because neither my mom, my sister nor I have ever gotten the cute little "basketball" tummy. Sorry, I just had to vent.

One of the sweet angels that helped me keep Lizzi entertained. Lizzi just loved running around with Michaela. And Grace, even though Lizzi is just about her size, she carried her all over the place.

The greatest moment of the day...we;;, for me anyways. Just after the cutting of the cake, I caught Jake and Lizzi having their own "Daddy-Daughter" Dance.

Now contrary to the baker of the cake...the wedding cake looks absolutely beautiful. I'm normally the one that can pick out any flaws in details, and I couldn't see any of the flaws that Debbie was continually pointing out. Take a look for yourself, and you can be the judge. But, to me, the cake looked as wonderful and beautiful as it tasted!

Jake and I ended up heading out shortly after the cake. We were exhausted, esspecially Lizzi. I don't think I had ever been able to lay her down so easily. Jake and I ended up staying up until everyone else got home, mainly because my feet hurt to much to get ready for bed. Everyone, but Lizzi and I, slept in that Sunday. Lizzi just had to get up at the crack of dwn as always. Now, I mean no offense to anyone, but it was kind of funny that Mike and Jake cleaned out Jared's old room and started setting up Mike's office that afternoon. They almost got it done and probably would have if they didn't have to go back to work that Monday.
