Beginning of wedding week

What an amazing, fun, and exciting week!  We started off the week by heading to OKC last Sunday night to spend the night.  Our flight was scheduled to leave Monday morning at 6:10, so we thought it'd be easier on everyone if we stayed in a hotel in OKC Sunday.  We had some yummy dinner at Texas Roadhouse on the way.  Oh but wait, when we got to Roland, I realized I had forgotten Jenn's bridesmaids dress at home!  Oopsie!  So we came back home and grabbed it and headed for OKC. 

Monday we got up around 4:00 to get to the airport in time for the flight.  We landed in Salt Lake City and headed to meet Jess and Chip there.  Little did they know what surprise was waiting for them...
All of us in our Chip & Jess 12/12/12 Big Sky Montana shirts!  Pretty fun surprise!

We headed on to Big Sky and ended up getting to the house around 4:00 that afternoon after a big Wal Mart grocery trip.  Monday night Chip's whole family came over to the house for a family dinner.  His mom and dad, sisters and brother, as well as numerous family members came.  Also, his friend Peter and his beautiful, wonderful wife Emily and their son came as well.   It was a great time!!  Mom, dad and Bubba did all of the cooking and the food was excellent! 

Tuesday it was time to hit the slopes!  Rob, Chip, Jered, Tasha, Luke and Emily headed out early to rent skis and get to having some fun.  The rest of us hung out at the house for the morning.  That afternoon Cash and Caden went to ski school, and I took a ski lesson myself!

Tuesday evening we had a couple of quick run throughs for the ceremony.  Big thanks to Brooke for keeping everyone in line!  She was great!  After that we all headed to Buck's T4 for dinner....which tasted great, but ended up making about 8 people sick!  Yikes!!

At dinner, Ben gave a beautiful toast describing Jess and Chip's relationship and how they have 'it'--that thing that makes a couple special and makes you know they are in it for the long haul.  He has been there from day 1 and was Chip's roommate when he and Jess met.  It was a great toast!

Jenn also gave a great toast to Jess and Chip!  She talked about how happy Jess is and that no one or nothing except Chip could make her happy enough to stay in California!  It was so sweet!  She did great!!

On to wedding day....

Camryn turns 3!!

It's been 3 years since the birth of our sweet princess C.  Camryn Rose has brought us so much joy and happiness over the past 3 years.  I could not have imagined a more perfect little girl.  She is such a sweet, loving, kind, and absolutely hilarious little girl!  She makes mommy and daddy so proud. 

We had a blast last night partying at the Monkey House in celebration of the big day!  We had some great family and friends who came out to wish Camryn a happy birthday. 

Unfortunately my camera is acting stupid, so the pictures will not upload.  I've literally been trying to upload them since 7:00 this morning!  I do not know what is going on with it!  I never take pictures with my real camera but decided to since it was her bday.  So much for that!  I will go back to iPhone pictures only!  I have been soooo frustrated with it!  I just tried yet again and it will NOT WORK!!!  Ugh!! 

Well, that stinks, but what can I do...nothing!  Except be really angry!

So I will move on from that and just say HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR SWEET ANGEL, CAMRYN!!

Hopefully I can get the pics to upload sometime soon. 

 

What a weekend!

Following our wonderful trip to Branson we took a short trip to Dallas. I had gotten Rob tickets for the Cowboys game for his birthday, so we asked Shane and Crystal to go with us for some eating, shopping, and football!

We left Saturday morning and headed for the big D. We had lunch at Maggiano's. It was delicious!! Then we left and found ourselves in some serious shopping at Allen Premium Outlets!
Rob and his loot!



We found some great stuff! Checked in to the Westin Galleria and got ready for dinner. We ate at Bob's Steak and Chop House in Dallas. It was excellent! Great dinner celebrating Rob's bday.



Our trip pretty much revolved around food....and shopping!










Today Crystal and I spent the day at the Galleria in Dallas. We both got almost all of our Christmas shopping done. The guys went to the Cowboys game and had a great time! See picture below...





What a fun, fabulous 4 days!

Christmas in Branson

What a fun couple of days! Thursday we headed up to Branson with my parents for a 2 day family trip! We went straight to Silver Dollar City to see the lights! It was beautiful! The music and lights on the trees were synchronized, and it was spectacular! We also rode a couple rides and had a wonderful time.

After SDC, We went to our cabin which was fantastic. The kids loved it. Friday morning we got around and went back to SDC for some more fun. We rode a bunch of rides and watched a Frosty show. Loved it!

The best part of the trip was the Dixie Stampede Christmas show. It was incredible! They had a live nativity, toys that came to life, horse competition and of course Santa! It was so beautiful!! We had a wonderful time. A new tradition has begun...

Pictures

Oopsie I am way behind! Here are a few pics I've forgotten to post.

Halloween 2012--you rock!!

What a great Halloween! The kids had a great day! Cash had his first school party and loved it!
He dressed as Thor! The wig was priceless!


Caden had his first party of 1st grade! It was so much fun! He was Hulk and looked awesome!!




Camryn had an apple harvest party at daycare, but they couldn't wear costumes. But for Halloween night she got to dress up and looked perfect!




We trick or treated with the Glovers in Riley Farms. We took the Polaris over, and the kids rode in the back while the adults rode in the seats. It was so much fun!!






What an exciting and exhausting day! Only the ghost remained awake at night's end....

Dinner, races and learning to shoot

Last weekend was so great!!
Started off Friday night with a fun family dinner at Beef's with our friends the Glovers and their crew.







Our kids love each other! They were so good!!

We headed over on Saturday to the horse races. We lucked out and it was Family fun day so there were bounce arounds and pony rides!

They also had a clown making balloon animals!




Sunday it was time to teach these kids how to shoot a gun! They really liked it. It was a great weekend!
