She has a WONDERFUL man who treats her like the princess she is.  Seriously….he’s REALLY good to her.  Which is a good thing or he’d probably have his 3 son in laws beat him up!  Ha! They had a small wedding and today they headed off on a 2 week Alaskan Cruise.  I’m so happy for them! (And a wee bit jealous! HA!) Here’s the beautiful bride! Seriously….she looks so young!  Maybe it’ll run in the family. =)</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-xZOeD4Zmt_U/TmgcgRSBvII/AAAAAAAAA40/e_1fWE0V5Ho/s1600-h/wedding01%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="wedding01" border="0" alt="wedding01" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-cFDZoOCdKbU/Tmgch0VknNI/AAAAAAAAA44/E-i-r54fYV0/wedding01_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="480" height="703" /></a> </p> <p>My Uncle Jimmy from Texas walked her down the aisle.  I  must add:  Cooper REALLY wanted to walk her down too.  Melt.

Worth<p>We recently took the boys to Dallas/Ft. Worth for a few days.  Very last minute.  Ty called and said, “Get packed.  We’re going to Dallas for a few days.” OK.  So not my style.  I like to plan.  But with Ty’s job, you never know if he can be off or not.  So when he says lets go, you better take him up on it.  We left on a Monday afternoon.  The boys were excited to stay in a hotel, and even more excited that our room was on the top floor.  Madox was amused with the luggage cart.<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Yxqv6d3kXRw/TjdJ7QiQxzI/AAAAAAAAAy8/SpFL05GajbI/s1600-h/035%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="035" border="0" alt="035" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-LXI8pL-BP9k/TjdJ8Bz9E0I/AAAAAAAAAzA/3C7z0KuLy-s/035_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="341" height="232" /></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-00gtdxJFhM8/TjdJ8rA5HSI/AAAAAAAAAzE/NczFpUxT66w/s1600-h/034%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="034" border="0" alt="034" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-7QVwRE8ygAQ/TjdJ9WDlJLI/AAAAAAAAAzI/8v1YrBXGodQ/034_thumb%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="274" height="396" /></a> </p> <p align="center">Tuesday morning we went to the Ft.

I have a huge family that lives many miles aways, so this makes me happy. real. happy. Check it out <a href="http://http//blog.shutterfly.com/5358/holiday2010-blog-submission-form/">here</a>. There are so many awesome cards that it was hard to narrow it down to my fave. Since we just had our family pictures taken, and a lot of them are in black and white, I knew I wanted to have a card that would make the pictures pop. And I wanted a design that I could put a picture of each of the boys plus some of the whole family. I've ordered from Shutterfly before and it's good stuff!<br /><br />After searching and searching and searching, (Seriously there are SO many to choose from!) This one became my favorite:<br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQvfkvqKwk5dquZ-YwuWORdlsdiM0k4hq56TXgOfhyMyQ0Fvfl3xkxVQuqhpaWae1qoilUVsTCWHXJbPXs8OU6eSJSneBXysjkBP220cYd9z_VEcBA06dd5w-kNvEt404-PLWXCBptTodu/s1600/shutterfly_card_2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547917701585536354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 289px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQvfkvqKwk5dquZ-YwuWORdlsdiM0k4hq56TXgOfhyMyQ0Fvfl3xkxVQuqhpaWae1qoilUVsTCWHXJbPXs8OU6eSJSneBXysjkBP220cYd9z_VEcBA06dd5w-kNvEt404-PLWXCBptTodu/s400/shutterfly_card_2.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p>I can't wait to see my sweet family covering the front of this card!</p><p>They have awesome <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-photo-cards">CHRISTMAS CARDS </a>, <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/mothers-day-cards-stationery">MOTHER'S DAY CARDS </a>, and <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/birthday-cards-stationery">BIRTHDAY CARDS</a>.
