Well...I promised a picture page and here it is. Like last time if you have something you would like me to put up here, send it on and I'll see what I can do. Enjoy!
This is a picture that Jordyn sent me recently. All I can say is that MAYBE I could hold the ball like that...but I bet I wouldn't be smiling. Cute picture Jordyn, and sorry it took so long to post it.
Here is the LATEST ultrasound pic
IT'S a GIRL!!!!!
I thought you might like to see the first Ultrasound pic of Aaron and Brandi's baby
Here are some pictures that Heather wanted me to share with everyone.
This is the beach at Spanish Wells. Take my word for it when I say the beaches around here do NOT look this good!!
Now this is my idea of a nice way to spend a day.
Heather and Matt enjoying a day in the sun. All in all, it looks like it was a nice vacation. Thanks for sending me the pics Heather!
Here are the pictures of Kyle' Blazer. I don't think any commentary is needed here.
Well...I'm sorry it took so long but here are some pics from the Wedding Celebration at the Barn.
Of course...no set of pictures from this day would be complete if I didn't include the hail. Those that were there can tell ya "there is nothing quite like a hailstorm in a metal building."
The ceremony was nice. Our friend Michael did a good job. It was, at the same time, informal...and quite touching.
With all the "romantic stuff" out of the way...it was time to party. Kyle and Stacy had actually DRIVEN through the hailstorm to deliver food to the wedding...so they sure earned some fun.
The owner of the Barn offered up a toast that was...Unique? Everybody looks real serious right now, but when it was over we were all laughing.
Once the band started playing we all commenced to dancin. Here...Jim "Twinkle Toes" Nealis, shows that he's still got it!
Whatever "it" is...Donna seems to be telling me I aint got it...never had it! This was a low point in Two Step history. Sure was fun though.
So THAT'S how it's done!! I should have asked Dad and Karen for lessons before I got out there.
Aaron sang "Friends in Low Places" for us. Traditionally, either the band, or the singer (preferably both) would actually KNOW the song...but hey...nothing else was traditional about this wedding!
Well, almost nothing was traditional...the Cake Cutting went pretty much according to tradition.
Had Brandi only known what was coming she might have reconsidered mashing the cake in Aaron's face (more likely she would have REALLY let him have it).
Revenge, they say, is always twice as bad as the original offense.
Friday night we had a "Crawfish Boil." This was something new to the Florida folks...but they got the hang of it purdy darn quick, and we had a blast!!
As the sun sets over the lake...the anticipation was building
Everyone was being patient, waiting on the feast.
Not everyone was daring enough to try the crawfish...so Aaron hooked them up with some really good burgers.
The crawfish (AKA "Mud Bugs") come out of the pot!
"What the heck am I supposed to DO with this thing."
It didn't take long for all the crawfish "newbies" to figure it out (Kyle was giving lessons)...and we got down to some serious eating.
Notice, no body is talking here...instead, all were intent on getting that little shell to give up it's prize.
Of course, it didn't take long for some of us to loosen up and begin playing with our food!!
When all was said and done, we had a great time. Good food, wonderful weather, and the best company I could ask for made for a memorable night!
Aaron and Brandi finally got home. There was a nice ceremony at Ft. Hood to welcome the troops. There was too much smoke (dramatic effect) to get good pictures, but I did what I could.
In
they come. After a year at war...Aaron, Brandi and some of their comrades
arrive home. They were greeted by a very happy, very loud group of loved
ones at Ft. Hood.
The next day They made a trip to the Bell
County Courthouse. Mind you...they are going to
have a wedding in Coldspring, April 10th, but they got the
"legalities" out of the way within hours of their feet hitting the
ground in Texas! It seems that a year in separate tents was quite enough for
them. Check out the look on Aaron's face...it's a
classic.
Yesterday I got a chance to do something a little out of the ordinary. There was a production company in town filming a show for PBS. The story is about a local war in 1840's (before Statehood) Texas. Anyway...I went down to see if they needed extras and got to play the part of a guy drinking at a saloon...heck, I even mumbled a few words...haha. Anyway, a friend of mine was there and took a few shots on the set during breaks in the shooting.
It wasn't REAL whiskey in the cup. Good thing too, cause I spent a lot of time on that porch.
I don't know who this guy is. Just a fellow extra on the set. He didn't get into any scenes on this day but, from what I understand, he and the people he was with are traveling between locations with the crew...so maybe next time.
That's me on the porch with the brown coat. The red barn on the left is THE Red Barn where Aaron and Brandi's wedding is to be on the 10th.
