Chelsea & Gabe's
Wedding Week
I LOVE when visitors come to my house to stay!!
The boys and I got lucky and we had my mom and grandma fly home with us and stay four days to come to my cousin Chelsea's wedding in Dallas. SO FUN to have them stay with us, and also to have my Grandpa John, Ann and Aunt Danna come to Dallas too.
Chelsea, the bride to be, and Davita and Em came to Fort Worth Friday morning for a pre-wedding breakfast. We went to Our Cafe, a yummy cafe close to my house. Such a fun way to start our day.
 These two boys were kinda crazy and drove me bonkers, but nothing a mickey mouse pancake and playing on the iphone wouldn't fix. ;)
We did a little shopping at the mall, and made a pit stop at the play area and merry-go-round.
 Saturday morning we went down to the stockyards for Grandma and Danna to experience for the first time. Saw the bull run of course, and browsed the shops and at lunch.
 Danna thought it was well worth $5 to sit on the bull and get a few pictures. I agreed! Love her.
 Cute mom/grandma taking care of my boys.
It was a little CHILLY, but we had FUN!


 Fried PICKLES anyone? They were surprisingly GOOD.

I LOVE this picture, and love the people in it even more.

After we got home and rested for a bit and got ready, our babysitter came over and we were off to Dallas for the wedding and party. {no kids allowed, Thanks to Sarah H. for babysitting!}
I wish I had a MILLION pictures of Chels, because one picture does not even come close to showing how stunning she looked.
 We felt honored sitting on the second row in the family reserved section. ;) They had a beautiful ceremony performed by the preacher from the church they go to. My favorite part was when Chels entered the room and Gabe saw her in her dress for the first time. Priceless. They are so good for each other, and Gabe treats her like a queen. They are deeply in love, you can tell just being around them.

Grandma and her daughters
 The wedding was beautiful, Cathy {Chelsea's stepmom} designed and did everything herself! Incredible. The food was mouth watering, and the party afterwards was unforgettable. Brock and I haven't had that much fun at a wedding or on a date in a long time! We danced for hours, literally, and they were all fast songs. :)

 Grandpa John walked Chels down the isle and danced with her as well. Very special moment for them both i'm sure, but a hard one at the same time not having her dad and his son alive to do it. Grandpa was so sweet and cute to her, kodak moment.

 It was so good seeing my family from Salt Lake! And even more fun to dine and dance with them.
  Congrats Chelsea and Gabe!
We love you both and wish you a long life of happiness together.
