Jen & Steve's Engagement Party

On Sunday, we went to Steve's grandmom's house for a party to celebrate Jen and Steve's engagement. The house was amazing, definitely set-up for great entertaining! Kudos to Steve's grandpop, who I heard did most of the building, etc. I told Joseph he would totally be jealous if he saw it! And Steve's mom and grandmom made a lot of delicious food and a beautiful cake. The weather was great too! All around a great party! :-)

The Happy Couple - Congrats Jen and Steve!

The Bridal Party
(minus the flower girl - Katie - because she was grumpy and wouldn't get in the picture!)

Katie wouldn't go in the real pool (because she said it was too deep, wuss! LOL)
so Steve's Aunt Barb (I think) gave Katie this 'pool' and she loved it!

This was after she went 'under'

Twirlin' with Aunt Karen

Nothing to say about this one... I just like it!

Well, it's about time...

Only 10 years in the making! Chrissy and John finally tied the knot today on what I think was the hottest day of the summer! But as the psalm goes... Love endures all things (even if it is 100 degree weather!). Once we got into the reception hall though, it was actually pretty chilly and the weather outside had no effect on the partying going on inside!

Congrats to Jen and Keith too!

Many years of love and happiness to all of you! :-)

Picture note: I have no pictures of the wedding other than when we were getting our hair and make-up done in the morning. Here's a link to Karen's pics on Shutterfly so you check them out if interested. I borrowed some of them to post here!

Aren't they beautiful?

Do you? Yep. Good! ... Do you too? Yep. Good!

Joseph and I sharing a 'moment'. Who knows who, I mean what, we were talking about! LOL

Chrissy's Bridal Shower

Today we had Chrissy and Jen's bridal showers. I was sitting next to Chrissy while she opened gifts so I didn't take any more pics than these three but Sandy took a ton for me. Once I get them on CD, I'll post more!

When I picked up the cakes and checked them out to make sure everything looked good, it said Chrissy and Steve, LOL. Then they didn't have the same green anymore so John's name wound up in a different color.

Just like John, always gotta be different!!! :-)

They got this one right though...

How Exciting!

On Saturday, me and Chrissy went dress shopping for her wedding. We brought our "kids" - Katie and John - and let me tell you, John was THRILLED! See...

Introducing... Karen and Chris Davis!

Finally... Uncle Chris is REALLY Uncle Chris now! Karen and Chris got married last Saturday, October 6th! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Everyone looked wonderful, the weather was great, and we had tons of fun!

The wedding photographer's pictures are now online at http://kimberlynoel.smugmug.com/Weddings/396560. Grab a drink and a snack, it's gonna take a while! There's about 1000 pictures!!!

I'll add a few here but as a disclaimer I have to say that the copyright belongs to Kimberly Noel, the photographer, as you see on the pictures. (Sidenote: She was awesome! I highly recommend her for any event you might need a photographer for!)

Prettying up!
