The Rest of the Story

 Here I am trying to do a Reader's Digest version of my trip to AZ. Enjoy!
Bub's reception site, "Villa Sienna":

Her cake. Unfortunately I didn't see her cut it because I was circling the parking lot with Kyle. I do have to mention this was buttercream and not nasty fondant! Delicious!

A pic with TRay's eyes open! If only I wasn't sporting the "everything is bigger in TX" hair:
In the days after the wedding we celebrated my mom's birthday, saw my cousin Kyle marry Kelsey, ate lots of delicious Mexican food, Kyle rode around in his --err Grandma's-- toy car, and also there was more of this...
      I finally met precious Macy and she was also blessed in AZ. I feel so lucky to have been at both Kate and Macy's blessings. Chris is one proud daddy... and he should be!
Lots and lots of piano time. This trip Kyle even decided to sing while he and Taylor played.
(Oh and play with his foot too!)

   I cuddled with Macy whenever Kyle went down for naps. She is the best baby! I miss her already.Tried to get a pic with Grandma and her 3 grandkids. Wasn't going to happen at the moment. Notice Kate isn't even in the shot. haha!
Kyle walked around in Papa's shoes:
And on Papa's shoulders.
  We said a tearful goodbye to Bub and Sam:
And laughed as I reminded Bubby her baby blanket would no longer be traveling with her.
It's ok, I think Sam is a better fit. He'll take good care of you.

         Everything was so beautiful and we enjoyed our time with family and friends. Unfortunately I didn't get to see everyone I wanted to, or for as long as I wanted to, but I feel so grateful to have spent time with many of you and to be there for Bubby's wedding. It was perfect!

hahah i must have been asleep during the attempted grandma with grandkids photo shoot. one day our kids will learn to smile and say cheese and this process won't be such a workout.

Looks like you had an awesome trip! Although I have to admit that I'm really glad your back :) That picture of you and Tim is really good, and maybe I've been in Texas too long but I think your hair looks great :)
