A Wedding and a Loooong Car Trip

Our trip started off about 11 am. We left our house headed to my cousin Jarrod's wedding. We arrived there early, I think it only took 4.5 hours to get there. We ran to Walmart for something very important, so important that I can't remember what it was, but I do remember that Guy bought some fishing bait and I bought some static spray because my dress was sticking to me from the long car ride. Next we headed to the church and found a nice grassy area to let the girls run around. They played tag for a while and we got the car straightened up. Next we dressed them for the wedding in the parking lot. I know, it was strange, but we didn't have many options.

The wedding was great. I had never met Jarrod's wife, but she seemed very sweet when I met her at the reception. We also got to visit with lots of family we haven't seen in a while. This was my Mom's family the last wedding we went to was my Dad's family.

Wedding Cake . Very Pretty.

Groom's Cake. Maycee was very, very upset that we didn't get to eat either of these cakes. It is really funny because she doesn't really like sweets. She always wants them, but only takes a few bites. She cried when we left because we didn't wait for the cake and she talked about it off and on all the way to Florida.

First Dance of Mr. and Mrs. Comte

Mother Son Dance

And then the girls got their chance to dance. They really love dancing.

At about 9:30 we decided it was time to get going. We had enjoyed a great night of family, fun and great food. When we left College Station it was my turn to drive and we explained to the girls that we were gonna drive all night. Maycee was a little concerned that we were spending the night in the car, but they fell asleep very quickly and slept until well into the morning. We were very lucky that they slept so long. They actually did great in the car except the last 2 hours or so.

Finally, we were there. We saw this sign and everyone was suddenly in a much better mood. :)

On Our Way

Finally, all of these outfits are completed and packed.

I finished the last one at 1:45 this morning.

The countdown chart is complete.

The car is packed.

The kids are loaded and settled in.

Guy is driving.

It's a very exciting day for us. First, we are headed to College Station to see my cousin Jarrod get married. We will get to visit with lots of family that we haven't seen in a while. :) Not the same family that we saw a couple of weeks ago at my other cousins wedding. After the wedding and reception we are Disney Bound!

Ward/From Wedding ....A Little Late :-}

Wow...It's been one day short of a month since I blogged. I actually wrote this post a while ago, but didn't have the pictures uploaded yet. I've been sewing like crazy instead of blogging. Anyway here are the pics from the wedding.



This weekend we went to Beaumont for Danielle and Keith's Wedding. Maddie and Maycee were flower girls in the wedding. We had a great time.

Friday we took Maddie out of school early and headed down for the rehearsal/rehearsal dinner. It rained the whole way and we made it just in time to stop at Laurie and Nat's house and change clothes and head over to the church.



After the rehearsal, we were going to dinner at Suga's. Maddie and Maycee went bowling with Laurie and Nat. Guy and I had a great time at the rehearsal dinner and then headed over the the Star Bar at Crockett Street afterwards. Everyone danced the night away. =}

The next morning we supposed to meet up for hair appts at 10 am. Well lets just say that didn't happen. I got a text from Danielle at 11 wondering where everyone was and I was just getting in the shower and still had a 30 minute drive. We finally made it though.

Here are some of the flower girls playing around that morning.

Waiting for the wedding to start.







Danielle
The Reception ...everything was beautiful. There was lots of dancing as you can see from the pictures. All of the flower girls were very excited when they were called to the dance floor to dance to Party in the USA with Danielle. It was the cutest. They also played Little Ole Wine Drinker me. LOL You couldn't get that many Ward's together and not play it at least once.


The girls had a great time being flower girls for Danielle and Keith. I am so thankful that they had the opportunity. It was a great weekend. It was good to get the chance to visit so many family and friends that we don't get to see as often as we would like to.

Congratulations Danielle and Keith!!
