Jared and Danelle

Danelle and her father, MarvinJared and Danelle during the ceremony-- I thought it was a cool shot through the globe on the table! :)

Jared and Danelle- the newlyweds! The wedding was at Coyote Wash Golf Course in Wellton, it was a beautiful setting and even beautiful weather! (high of 90? in June? in Wellton!!) It was a beautiful ceremony, and of course Danelle was gorgeous and Jared was looking sharp!

You may kiss your bride! :)

Mom's birthday

Mom celebrated her birthday at the cabin this year. We were able to be there, along with Grandma, Paula and Clayton. The best part was that Frank had called us a few days before and asked us to help find her a laptop. We found him a great deal on a great laptop! :) But we didn't tell mom anything about it. She was soooo excited to hear she had a gift from Frank, and then when she opened it-- she really was excited! :) Check out the pictures:

Update!!

It's been a long time since I have posted anything to the blog... so the question is-- where to start? :) We have had so much happening the last few months, that it's been crazy! Jared and Danelle got married, school's out, and we are getting ready to go on an Alaskan Cruise! :) Here's a few pictures that I have to share for now... none of the wedding yet, but they are on their way! :)

Here's a great one of the happy couple though:And here are a few from the Bridal Shower:

The shower was great fun, and she got lots of great gifts! :)

Mother's Day weekend-- Mom, Jared, Danelle, Clayton and Niki came to visit! It was soooo fun to have the whole family here! We played games, went to a movie, went to the Gaslight Theater, and just had a great time hanging out! Here's a few pictures from that weekend:

The Birthday Trio- (thus the number 3)- not to mention the fact that it's the only candle I had in the house! :)

Moving on to the wedding, it was just this past weekend and it was beautiful, and the weather even cooperated!! But the pictures are still living on my camera at this moment in time and I am not in the mood to locate the camera! :) So... it will give me something to blog about later! :)

Not Tagged, but thought it looked interesting...

My sister-in-law Niki, was tagged by her sister to do this, and so she "tagged" whomever wanted try it out! :) So this tag challenges you to go to My Pictures, to the 4th folder, to the 4th picture and post about it. Here it is: (my set up is a little different so I went to the 4th folder, the 4th folder again, and then the 4th picture)
Beautiful pink roses... from Wade you ask? Nope, not this time... they weren't even mine. They were decoration for Amy's Bridal shower last May. :) I was part of the bridal party. It was a great motivation for me to get to working out and losing weight! I had only lost 15 pounds by the time the wedding came around, but it was still a good thing! Thanks Amy for helping to provide some motivation to get me movin'! :)

Ok... as far as that "tag" was concerned... I liked it. It is a good thing to reminisce about the past... even if you just come up with a random picture of roses! :) So I tag Chelsy, Brooke, Mary, and anyone else who would like to give it a try! Have fun! I did!
