A Few More Pictures of the Rehearsal and Wedding

My wonderful father-in-law sent me some pictures to put on here which was very nice of him!! So here they are....

The Rehearsal
 Oh, my Marky. So silly.
Sutton and Billie's nieces
Kelsea, Billie, and Mark
 
Me - you can't see my awesomely cute knee high boots. You'll just have to trust me that they're cute. hehe

Sally and her sister Susan
Matt (Mark's cousin Kim's husband) and Bodie

Sally (Mark's mom) and Matt and Bodie's head
 The Wedding

Mark's cousin Rehme is 4th from the left and the two at the right are Kelsea's sisters (the Maids-of-Honor) and her mom is sitting in the chair. I don't know who the rest of the girls are.
Dane and Mark were the Best Men and then Sutton the ring bearer as you can see. Again, I don't know who the rest are. Mark was so handsome in his tux!! And so was little Mark...er...Sutton. :)
 
Laina and Landry and I think, Hallie. (there were 3 more flower girls yet..all blonde). Laina got tired of sitting up there but she was a good girl about it! Such a cutie (I'm a little biased)!

Sutton, Grandma, and Laina
 The Reception
Us - not sure what Bodie's doing...
Mark's cousin Kim and his Grandma Ruth

Billie's sister Rehme singing a song she wrote about Billie - It was beautiful

Laina and Sutton - oh, in case you don't know, instead of Sutton sucking on his thumb or something normal, he sucks on his bottom lip.

Laina, being silly with a wrapper from some food. :)
 Oh that reminds me of what they had for the meal. It came in courses, but I don't know if I can remember each course so here's what we ate: chips with guacamole and salsa, shrimp, grilled cheese with tomato soup, pizza, little smokies, beef on a stick, and cake. (Thanks for the help remembering, Dick!) It was all very, very good!!

not sure what was going on here. I think I was going to tell Mark something and Dick took the picture....I think.
Mark's family  


Back row starting at the left: Paul (Kim's), Matt (married to Kim), Callie (Mark's cousin), Kevin (married to Callie), Mollie (Mark's cousin), Seth (married to Mollie), Bill (Mark's uncle, Billie's dad), Mark, Dick (Mark's dad), Mike (married to Dana), Tim (Dana's), James (Dana's), Erik (married to Billie Rae).
Middle: Rich (married to Sara), Sara (Mark's aunt), Renee (married to Bill), Grandma Ruth, Sally (Mark's mom), Me (married to Mark) with Bodie, Dana (Mark's cousin)
Front: Kim (Mark's cousin), Rehme (Billie's sister) with Lacee (Billie Rae's), Billie (the groom) with Sutton, Kelsea (the bride) with Laina, Kray (Billie Rae's) in very front, Susan (Mark's Aunt) with Hallie (Billie Rae's), Billie Rae.

Just in case you want to know how the families go - not in order of age because I might be able to do that but don't want to mess up and insult someone. hehe ~ Ruth is the mom. Then her kids are: Sara (and her kids) - Kim, Mollie, and Callie; Susan - Dana, Billie Rae, and Jesse (who lives in Alaska and wasn't able to make it down for obvious reasons); Bill - Rehme and Billie; Sally - Mark

For his speech. :)
Happy jolly me. hehe
Laina and Hallie coloring

There's a few more to add to it! At least it's better than what I had!! Thanks again to Marky's parents!!!

Adventure on Grandma Ruth's Land

The next day after Billie's wedding, Mark, Laina, Sutton, and I went for a walk while Bodie took a nap. Here's what we explored.

Mark's putting a painted turtle back in the water that we found up on the hill. He was also yelling at Chester to not try to dive into the creek after the turtle. :)

I don't know why this picture keeps being sideways....









Rides from Daddy!

The beautiful landscape









After we got done playing on the bales, we headed back to Grandma's. Sally met us on the way back with Boji. And we walked the rest of the way back, discovering sparkly rocks and round rocks and white rocks. It was a great walk!

The Wedding

Here are the wedding pictures that I have...not many...at all. Not even any of the wedding..... or the wedding party.... I need to get some from Mark's parents.... I'm really sorry....I was so busy getting keeping kids entertained and putting beads on skirts and making sure all the flower girls had what they needed and feeding kids....it was busy. Then during the ceremony, Mark (up front by Billie and the other best man) couldn't find the other pillow with the ring on it and was motioning to me at the back of the crowd to find it. So I spent the next what felt like forever trying to find it when it was already up in one of the Maids'-of-Honor hands. Also, Bodie was taking a nap at Kelsea's parents' house, so I went back a couple of times to check on him. It did make it a lot easier to have him sleeping.

All righty, here's what I have.
Waiting before the wedding....
This is Hallie (Mark's cousin's daughter)
The Wedding....

Nope....
  Then the reception afterward..... sorry!
My Little Laina
 


 My Sut-Sut :)

Our Family Picture - I didn't mean to match but it worked out. :)
 A couple of the centerpieces - all the tables had different ones

 Daddy and Laina dancing

Mark giving his best man speech...hehehe
He did a very good job. It was really funny with enough sentimentality. It was great! I wish that I had a video of it.

Well, that's all that I have. If I get some from Mark's parents, I'll post them. :)
