Gina's wedding July 29th

Gina and Fletcher were wedded in holy matrimony last Saturday and my whole herd was clean, pressed and smiling thruout the entire weekend, which had also included the rehersal and dinner. It was beautiful! Next to the bride and groom, the wedding cakes Aunt Aurelia made were breath-taking!

Dad sent me these pictures, so there aren't any of Mikes family on here, who were there also, nor any of the ceremony or rehersal dinner.

The pictures I took are in my camera in Georgia with the girls...scroll on down and you can see pictures of that! I'll get my camera back Thursday night. This is Fletcher, Gina and I'm thinking this is his mother, but I could be wrong.

Gina's bridesmaids were from L to R..I don't know, Jill, Gina, Carol (her sister) and I don't know. YES, I paid attention during the wedding process.
I wish I had my camera, because I took better pictures of these cakes. This is the only pic I have currently and DAD took it. There were 8 cakes in all, each cake a different flavor from Strawberry, Italian creme, chocolate, pound cake, Crapple (one layer Carrot and one layer and apple spice) and I'm not sure what the others were...just beautiful. Each cake had single hand made roses made of sugar individually placed to look like Gina's bouquet, which was red roses as well. The cakes were beautiful AND delicious.

My parents and the Grandkids...all smiling and beautiful!



I didn't realize till this moment that all my babies are taller than me...my whole family is! GEEeeeeze. At least the dogs aren't.

We totally don't match!

All our collective teeth were brushed!

All three girls shared one blow-dryer and one hair straightner that morning and SURVIVED.

More pictures are below...again, these are Dad's pics and I apologize for not having any of other family members, but will put the pics I took on here when I get my camera back!

Gina's Wedding

Here are more pictures of the wedding...Lauren and Alex were so grown up acting and beautiful!!!














as we all were! I couldn't believe we all were clean, pleasant and smiling ALL AT THE SAME TIME!

Mom and Dad with all the grandchildren...smiling and sweet.

They seemed extremely happy!

Keep scrolling down for more pics I added. Also, I will be adding more this weekend of the wedding and Dee's house pics....

Dee's house, Georgia

The girls went to Dee's house Sunday and won't be back till THURSDAY- YA-HOOOOOOOOOOO. Uh...I am missing them terribly.
Dee has a couple of ponds on his property there and the girls, I can't beLIEVE they got in the water...notice Brittany didn't! She's so brave!





Isn't this typical of them...NO ROWING going on there! HA!








He has a couple of ponds there and they have been fishing ever afternoon. After this picture was taken, Britt caught an even bigger one!







Britt isn't the bravest person I've ever know, so to see her getting in a boat, is amazing to me!


They are supposed to email me more pics soon, and I will post them on here.....

Well, I took the pictures I posted yesterday and today at various cookouts, bar-b-ques etc. that was spread out over a period of 2 weeks.

Here are some pictures I took that I like!

I love this picture of Danny and RJ. I don't think I've ever seen a Dad so close to his son before...great family!

Trip to Charleston

We went to Charleston for a few days last month or so...it was still too cold to get in the water....








I'm sure these two were steady discussing boys or the lack there of at the beach...or they could have been discussing how their hair spray just doesn't hold up in all that wind!











It really was beautiful there...the water almost looked clean!









Mike and Courtney look alike...VERY scary! hee










We went on a harbor cruise while there and departed not far from the Yorktown.
