Grandma Ware's Funeral

What can I say, I took Mom to see her family kicking and moaning the whole way. But once she got there....she had a good time getting to talk to her brothers and sisters. "I'm Lovin' it" as the sticker says.

The weather was hot and dry and the services were kinda long. But over all it was a good experiance.

We will miss Grandma Ware, but we know that she is in a good place with her husband and her family.

Here are a few pics from the trip......if you can tell, there are not many, cuz the prego girl was HOT and TIRED most of the time!

Jay and Andrea gasing up the car...

Jay & Andrea's Wedding

Ok, so I know that it took forever but here are some images from the wedding....

( inside the Bed & Breakfast they spent the weekend in)

(Andrea's flowers, made by mom, and their rings. The band is Jay's but they both have matching wedding bands....the other ring is Andrea's engagement ring.)

(the Will and Krista pose)

("Hey, way to go Jay!" says Jeremiah with mom)

(kezia, aka my second photographer, and dad)

(me and dad.....with his "signature smile", or at least that is what he was calling it for the day.)

(this is the Bed & Breakfast)

(the back of the outfits that mom made for Jay and Andrea....aka, LINK & ZELDA)

Mom's Fifty, Fifty Years Old!!

Robert Supprised Mom with a 50th Birthday treat!

First they went to each lunch at Paizano's, danced out front....and then took a Limo ride!! (mom said it was a bit like ridding in an air plane, but it was worth the experience.

Then we went to Jay and Andrea's place to sing Happy Birthday and eat cake and ice cream.

Ok, this is Mom trying to figure out how to play Kezia singing her happy birthday on her cell phone....and not succeding.

This is after Jay and I show Mom how to work her speaker phone...

And then came Sally O'Mally..... "I'm Fifty! Fifty Years Old..."
