Texas WE: July 2013

Papa's 60th Birthday Brunch

With Gigi and Papa in Alaska over Papa's 60th, we decided to have a belated birthday celebration for our old man at the JW Marriott in San Antonio. What an awesome brunch with a bunch of cute kiddos! Papa enjoyed the celebration with his crew and we were thrilled to gift Papa with the 35,000 music files from his dear friend and music lover, Woody! It was a special surprise that W. has been working on for a while now. We were thrilled that A & A complimented our gift with a snazzy new iPad so that Pa can "jam" to these amazing tunes while using it, just as Woody once had. In a sense, my dad's dear friend was there in spirit celebrating this monumental occasion with us all! Love you dad and may you continue to enjoy the music of life!

Guess who is behind the camera??

Love these 3 amigos!

The after party included a block party! W.E.e.t. love you, Papa!

Getting Hitched at Texas Old Town!

What a joy it was to see such a special union this past weekend! Many events led up to this important day and nothing, not even a few sprinkles, could stop these two from getting hitched! So thrilled for this couple and all that marriage will bring! As dad once told mom, "Come and grow old with me, the best is yet to come!" I'm thankful for the blessing that is marriage!

E is already asking when the next wedding is...

Excited for this side of the family and the recent engagement of their son to a beautiful & sweet girl! More wedding fun in the future!

Thankful for this couple and the love that they have shared for over 37 years!

Since this wedding venue, Texas Old Town, was the same place that we got married over 7 years ago, we decided to check out the exact location where we exchanged our vows. It was so fun to relive the memories of the excitement, ceremony, and even the reception. We MAY have even crashed a wedding to get a close up view...What a special night in may ways!

Mr. & Mrs. George P. have officially been married and what a wonderful weekend it was to celebrate their love with so many who love them. The wedding weekend started off with a fabulous rehearsal dinner at Trattoria Lisina. The meal was amazing and truly one of the best rehearsal dinners we have ever eaten!

Yet, another year has passed with tons of fun and excitement. Unfortunately, we have also let our blog pass us by for another year...So, here are some shots from our July 4th fun at Lake Louise! Thank you for hosting us, Uncle "Bobber" and Aunt Lulu!
