wedding fun

This last Saturday evening my great friend Reagan got married. I was so excited for her and Jared. They make an amazing couple!! I was asked to be an honorary bridesmaid and I was thrilled! The wedding didn't start until 7:30 but she asked us to be there early. It was great getting to hang out with Reagan and her girls for a while before the wedding. Also, being an honorary, I was there for all the picture taking and times leading up to the wedding.
It was by far the best wedding I've been to and I could not be happier for Reagan and Jared as they start their life as husband and wife.
Go figure, I got several great shots leading up to the ceremony and 2 pictures into the actual wedding... my camera died!!! Yep, I was ticked but still happy I got the pics that I did.

Here is the beautiful bride, pre-wedding, with her adorable nephew Shep

Getting dressed

Isn't she beautiful?!?!


Kay (Rea's step-mom) giving her the garter...

Pinning the boutonniere on her dad...so sweet!

All the guys wore Converse. This is a picture of the Father of the Bride's feet!!

They were married at the Farmers Market in downtown Oklahoma City. Everything was gorgeous!!


Taking a break during pictures...

The bouquets that she made, they were amazing!

Yep, that's my seat!

I just have two words... CANDY BUFFET!!

This was the cutest idea I've seen in a LONG time!!! I just loved it!! All the candy
was in the colors of the wedding... mustard, black, ivory and silver. I cannot wait to
try my hand at creating a candy buffet soon.


Giving the bride away...

Beginning of the ceremony...

The wedding was amazing and when they left we all held sparklers and wished them well. Since this was July 3rd, there were fireworks in the background which just added to it all. What a wonderful night!

F.O.J. parade

So the 4th of July parade was this past Saturday in Marlow. It was raining off and on but we still had a great time. We enjoyed watching the parade with my in-laws. I love them so much!! :) My sister-in-law and brother-in-law were in from Texas so we got to spend some time with them as well. After the parade we walked to the park for some 4th of July festivities but there just wasn't much there this year. I guess the rain scared all the vendors off. Oh well, we had a nice time anyway. I didn't take my camera but here are a few shots that Lori sent me.

Here is the family... minus a few (Lori was taking the pic and my MIL was in the parade)


Tyler and his buddy Connor... Yes, Tyler is twice his size.


The guys in front of the HUGE Revelation monster truck.


A shot of Laci, Baby Gray, Tyler and I...


Lori and GrayLynn


So glad we were able to spend a few short hours with the family before other plans took over.
Hope you all had a safe and fun 4th of July!!!!

P.S. Luckily we didn't miss the fireworks... the were postponed until next weekend. :)

splish splash

Last night was the baseball team's end of season party. We had a great time at the pool with all the kiddos. They had pizza and fruit and a lot of fun! Most of the parents were there and we had a great time too. Not many adults swam but the time spent chatting was great. A very lovely evening with great company and wonderful weather.
Still so very proud of the Blue Jays. GREAT season boys!!!


They stayed at that diving board ALL evening! No fighting or arguing at all. They took turns :)



They had a great little routine down... stayed in order and everything!



That's my boy... in the air... all you can make out are his arms, his rear and his feet! (his feet are bigger than mine and he's only 10!)



I loved this picture... they are all such good kids and I'm really going to miss baseball.



They had a license plate made for Tiffany for being the 'score keeper' for the season! She loved it!



Brandi and Tina... They are pretty great gals! I'm glad I got to know them through baseball season. (That is Tony's arm on the left. He's Tina's husband)


We even got a shot of us enjoying the fun!



Thanks to all the parents for being involved in the pool party and for making it such a fun night!
