Here’s a slideshow of photos from Jon and Heather’s wedding.

I have been making Noelle a little pallet in the bathroom this week, and she has loved reading Aunt Michele’s books on tape.  Michele got Noelle several books on tape that the library were selling at a discount, and they are so entertaining, with music and everything.

Noelle has been singing the Teletubbies song this week, and we have been amazed.  Last night she sang all by herself, “Dipsy, Laa-Laa, Po, hello!”  We’re still working on Tinky Winky.  We are going to try to find some fun CDs because I don’t think she’ll be able to sing along with Avril for a while! 

Today was amazing!  We had just finished getting ready for the ceremony in this picture – we were relieved to have it all together!

 

Yay!  We got a quick family pic!

 

We always end up kissing our baby girl!

Mamma-Kay (Kay Kay) and Grand Papa came to celebrate with us!

Noelle was going back and forth between these bridesmaids smelling their roses – she was so intrigued.

 

More kisses! 

Someone was trying to make Noelle laugh, but I don’t think it worked to well.  Oh well, Miss Noelle!

Noelle was very snuggly with her mommy tonight – it made my day!

 

  

Beau, Mike, Kevin, Ty, Chris, and Marcos

 

Noelle danced the night away and danced with Heather every chance she got.  It was so cute! 

We are so happy!

Noelle thought Heather was an angel.  She couldn’t get enough of the beautiful bride! 

 

Making a new friend, sharing her bracelets with Brooklyn.   

This is the sweetest picture – Brooklyn was so kind and happy – she told me she was a princess flower girl tonight, and I totally agreed!

 

We couldn’t keep Noelle off the dance floor.  She literally stayed in the middle of the dancing all night long!

Heather and Noelle having their special moment together. 

 

Dance dance baby! 

 

Brother Man was a very handsome usher tonight – he’s the life of the party, that’s for sure!  You can count on him to bust a move or two!

I love this pic!  Christy was one of my bridesmaids and now lives in D.C. where she and Kevin are doing great things.  Boy, we sure do miss them though.  Noelle absolutely fell in love with Miss Christy.  You can finally see her back molars in this pic, and her third bottom tooth!

 

John and Mike line dancing together – Jon busting out the never forgotten wig!  There are many stories behind that silly hair piece! 

Courtney, Christie, Christy, Melissa, Noelle, and Krisitn – these girls are such great friends!

Chris, Mike, Beau, Matt (Terp), and Ty having a good time.

Grand Papa teaching Noelle the chicken dance.

She was actually doing it – it was so cute!

Mommy girl’s wiped out!  (See Brother Man dancing his heart out in the background?)

Noelle wouldn’t let me leave the dance floor.  Every time I tried to go sit down she would lift her head and start fussing.  So, we stayed and relaxed in the middle of the dance floor.

As Jon and Heather were getting ready to leave, we chased them out to get a quick pic, realizing we didn’t get a picture with the five of us all night!  We were having WAY too much fun!

Jon and Heather, we love you like family!  Have fun in Hawaii – we are going to miss you so much.  Hurry home so we can play cards and be merry… CONGRATS!

 

We love you, Jon and Heather!

Kevin, Chris, Mike, Jon, Ty, Matt, Beau, and Marcos with the bride!

 

Beautiful sisters!

 

See any similarities?  (:

The wedding was beautiful!  I can’t wait to post more pics.  I am going to make a slide show this time!  We had such a great weekend and are so happy our dear friends are married!

We went to play with Bekah at McTeacher night earlier this week to give her her birthday present and wish her a happy day!

Noelle discovering all the shoes.

Noelle getting to hang out with the big girls.  Mike was making Bekah laugh!  You girls are too cute!

Noelle and Bekah right before… well, we’ll keep that between us – lol!

Noelle is cracking herself up!

Sorry we are going to miss your mystery birthday dinner.  I can’t believe you are already 12!

We love you Bekah!!!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Smelling Rara’s pretty flowers

Hum… did they tickle your nose Noelle?

 

 

Loving on baby behind the bushes – Wide open spaces! 

Cute little Jax – Noelle’s new buddy!

“Hey, wait up Jax!”

Bottoms up – “Okay Jax, it’s your turn.”

Beautiful baby

 

Noelle kept following Jax around trying to make him drink her milk –       it was really funny and sweet for her to share.

Visiting Rara, Pam, Meredith, and Poppa at the dentist office. 

 

“Wow, this chair is so cool!”  Poppa Doc and Elly sharing secrets. 

 

Ah, ah, ah, ah, don’t you get away from me!

“CLAWS!!!” 

After Mommy got her teeth cleaned (thanks Dad), Noelle had nap time driving out in the country!

Beautiful Jacksonville

My Granny’s Tomato patch is on the left side of this bridge – it’s truly majestic out here.  I didn’t realize how gorgeous East Texas was until I lived away from home.  I appreciate it so much now.

Meeting Bella Barber!  My dear friend Afton and her husband Grant had Bella October 28.  She is the sweetest little baby – I seriously wanted to take her home with me!

Noelle giving Bella her paci – Noelle got a little jealous when Mommy held the baby, but she was sweet and loving.

Rara’s gardens were beautiful!  All of your hard work has paid off, Mom.

I remember barely being tall enough to look over the glass on these doors when I was a toddler waiting for Michele to get home from kindergarten.  Seeing Noelle playing by the front door is surreal.

Noelle is still in Jacksonville as I write this tonight.  She and Rara are coming home to us tomorrow.  Even though it’s only been a day, Mike and I miss our baby girl so much!!! 

A big thanks to Miss Mary for babysitting Noelle today.  Noelle had the time of her life – you’re the best Mary, and we love you so much!

Having fun with Megan at their shower Sunday night!

Jessica, Sophie, Noelle, and Melissa hanging out!  We’re going to have a park play date together really soon! 

 

Rona and Noelle look so cute together!  Guess what Slone and Megan got for one of their presents – a “CLAW!!!”

Rona, Noelle coloring her dress, Mojo, Megan, and Kim posing for one last pic.  I forgot to get a pic of the handsome groom – I’m so silly – we were having too much fun!

Congrats Slone and Megan!  You are a match made in heaven!

Noelle loves to make us laugh!  Job well done girlfriend! 

We had so much fun at the park today with Jillian and Jackson!

Noelle loves to clap and say “YAY!”

  

Too funny! 

 

Strollin’ down the hill with Jackson.

 

Get’er!

Noelle is one excited little girl while Jillian is just grinnin’ away!

 

Jillian and Noelle watching Jackson enter the scene.

The kids are cracking up!  Today was fun!
