The Wedding

I know it's been forever, but life is crazy busy. I just had to post these pics from Stu's sister Becky's wedding yesterday. Ellie was the flower girl and Logan a ring bearer. It was lovely.

The rehearsal. Doesn't Ellie look adorable?
Logan.
Stu, his Mom and brother, Garrick. He played guitar while everyone walked down the aisle. It sounded great!

Logan and Logan. Jake's nephew was also named Logan. They were ring bearers together.

Look at them!! Sooo cute!!

Isn't Ellie beautiful? Maybe I'm a little biased?

Naaahh, they're gorgeous!

More pics of the kids.

The ring bearers. Logan and Logan.My Logan was so sweet to little Logan. I was very proud!

I almost missed her walking down the aisle! I could have kicked myself!

The beautiful bride!! Isn't she lovely?

I know I was supposed to be praying too, but she looked so cute!

The wedding party.

Father/daughter dance.

Ellie had a little admirer named Collin. He's Stu's cousin's son. I think he has pretty good taste in girls!

Ellie and Grandma dancing!

I didn't get the best pic, but Becky got Logan the cuteset guitar cufflinks!

The kids came out of their shells after a couple of hours and were the hit of the party.

Becky and Ellie dancing.

Logan was one of the "spotlight dancers". He went out and everyone started cheering. Then they made a big circle around him and he danced for everyone. I wish I'd taken video!!

The cake. I didn't get a very good pic, but it was delicious!

Jake's groom cake. Isn't it neat?

It was a great wedding. We all had a lot of fun seeing everyone and having a good time.

Congratulations Becky and Jake! We love you both!!!

Christmas Portraits 2011

We went and had our annual portraits made. This year we went to JCPenney. I bought a groupon which turned out to be a bit of a dud. I wasn't thrilled with the place and definitely won't go back, but we got some cute pics. It's getting harder as Logan gets older to have him smile genuinely. As many of you know, this is a bit of an art form and something lots of people have to learn. He's one of those people!





It was really hard to pick out which prints I wanted and in what size, etc. So I bought the disc and am printing more on my own.


Christmas cards are going out tomorrow for most of you! Merry Christmas!

Ellie's piano recital

Ellie had her first piano recital on Monday. It was a very small, casual recital at the music store where we take lessons (Danny Ray's in Round Rock). The recital only included Ellie's teacher's students. Her teacher teaches many different instruments (trombone, clarinet, french horn, etc.), so not all the kids there played piano. Also most of them were fairly new at learning so Ellie wasn't totally out of her league since she's only been taking lessons since the beginning of August.
She did great! She didn't seem nervous at all. It kind of freaks me out actually since as most of you know she's incredibly shy much of the time. On stage though, she seems right at home.

She actually played 3 short songs. The video just shows one of them.

We're so proud and hope she continues to want to play. We also hope that she will smile occasionally and not look so solemn while she plays!
