Jessica and Billy Sanders Shotgun Wedding

This was one crazy wedding. . . .if it could go wrong it did. We didn't get to have a rehearsal so it went a little crazy. For starters, one of the bride maids called the week before the wedding and said she couldn't make it. Jess had a friend that was happy to stand in. Then 2 days before the wedding 2 of the flower girls couldn't make it. Thank goodness for family. Amber and Libbie stepped in. Then the day of the wedding one of the other bride maids didn't show up. We just went on without her. The best man didn't make it either due to car trouble. Scott became best man about 30 minutes before the wedding. We were all a little unclear as to when we were suppose to walk down the isle so we made a mad dash to our spots as the waggon pulled by mules drove up with the bride, her father, step father and the shot gun man. I don't remember what all her step father said about the shot gun wedding. I was trying to get all the kids in their spots. I thought it was so neat having the shot gun man follow the bride and her father making sure that the groom didn't run. All in all it was a fun wedding and the couple enjoyed parting with their friends instead of going on a honeymoon.

Scott posed great for the wedding.

Before the Shotgun Wedding

There are so many photos I want to share from the Shotgun Wedding that I will have to make a couple of posts. It was a little crazy but it turned out really cute. This is the State for the wedding complete with a hay bales.

The punch was served in a metal trash can.

I Love the cake. It had twigs and birds on it.

In the end she decided to wear a dress that her Grandmother had made for her mom to wear when she married her dad. However, it was never worn until now some 30 years later.

The vail was hand made and under that she wore pig tails. She also wore combat boots to make the look complete.

Breonn her daughter did not want to wear her hanker chief so we had a small melt down.

Halloween. . . .a little late.

My office dressed as nurses for Halloween to promote Health Insurance. Our name tags read "Ask me about Health Insurance" We had a blast and the scrubs were so comfortable we tried to talk Vikki into letting us purchase different colors and wear them every day of the week. She didn't fall for the idea but we are going to wear the scrubs again because it did work. . . Pat sold a health policy. Me, Cathy, Vikki, Sherry, Annette, Pat, and Ashley

Daisy Mae

Meet the newest addition to our family Daisy Mae. Scott said all week that we would try her for the weekend and see how it worked out. However, I knew one look he wouldn't want to give her back. With in about 5 minutes he had decided to keep her. As Breanna said, "We know what dad's soft spot is."

Friday night she cried most of the night and Scott and I was up most of the night. Breanna and Christian were here Saturday night and they took the night babysitting. Christian has been wanting a puppy for a long time and was looking forward to her sleeping in his room. I think they were up quite a bit because when I got up Sunday morning they both went back to bed.

Skeeter and Daisy are getting along better than I expected. Of course he runs from her and jumps up on the couch where she can't get to him. He doesn't quite like her trying to get into his bed all the time. He has hidden bones in there so she can't find them. He is working on sharing his toys but he has the saddest look on his face when she is running with his ball.

A Favorite Photo

The ladies I work with tried to get me to enter a photo in the fair. I'm not for sure what I would have picked but like most things I have just been too busy to sit down and go through photos. Besides that, I don't even know how you go about entering a photo. I took this photo a while back and for some reason I just love it so I thought I would share it.

Jessica & Billy

My cousin/bestfriend is getting married on November 3rd. It's not going to be a normal wedding. It's going to be filled with a lot of humor and fun. They are calling it a shot gun wedding with the colors being John Deere Green and Yellow (Sunflower.) There will be no dresses and tuxes. It will be jeans, overalls, long johns etc.

We took photos forever and only ended up with a few good ones. She is just like me and when she smiles big her eyes close. The best thing is. . . I have some photos I can black male her with later.

Football Season is here!!

My nephews Justin and Trevor are playing football again this year. Justin is now in the 7th grade so he is a true Goblin. Trevor is in 6th grade and still in PeeWee. Trevor had is own cheering squad. (Cousin Drew, Justin, & Christian.)

Trevor

Trevor

We noticed by looking at the photos I had taken that Trevor carries the ball in his left hand but throws with his right. He writes left handed but plays baseball right handed, kicks soccer with his left foot and looks like he plays football with both. So strange.

Justin

Justin

Justin is a wide receiver like my little brother was. He has the same strut back to the line as Tim did.
