Another life for the little Gator





My favorite day of the month-the 1st Thursday of the month is bulk trash pick up. Well I was having the kids haul some stuff up to the front. I thought they needed to get rid of the gator since it hasn't worked for over a year. They were complaining about how to get it up there. They came up with this, then it became the best toy after Christmas. There are more pictures to come because there have been some modifications.

San Antonio For Mary Nan's Wedding











We went to San Antonio a few days after Christmas for Adam's cousin Mary Nan's Wedding. She was married in one of the missions down there. I had never been to San Antonio and it was so much fun. We stayed on the Riverwalk with everyone and it was so neat. We were only there for a night but I could see how you could spend a few days there. We had fun with Uncle Eric and Aunt Kristen, just wish Ashlyn and Maddie would have been there.


Kathleen and Caroline- the bridesmaids, sisters and cousins. You can't see from the picture but their waist is burnt orange. They had an orange and red wedding because Mary Nan went to OU and Eli went to UT- very cute.


Adam, Eric, Kristen and Grandpa Biggs all went to the wedding. Me and the kids were at the mission and this is a shot of the wedding party from afar.
Later that night the adults got to go the party. We had so much fun. You would have thought Adam and Eric were 14 and at a stake dance. We really were quite calm compared to the seasoned frat boys. Aunt Helen and Uncle Richard gave a great reception.


A highlight of the night is when they sang "Sweet Caroline"- very fun!


This was a super cute dress that Mary Nan wore as her going away dress. So cute!





I am embarrassed to put this picture on because it is so weird looking and a bad picture but one of the reasons I had so much fun that night is because my dress would twirl. I remember there was a girl growing up that loved to twirl at the stake dances and this night I was that crazy girl. I had so much fun dancing and getting my dress to twirl!
