So, my baby sister, Rebecca, got married this past weekend, what a weekend!!!
Peyton and I left at about 8.30 to fly out of Birmingham, AL, it's about a 2 hour 20 min. drive over, which Atlanta is 2 hours so I'd rather drive 20 more minutes because of the smaller airport and cheaper price. I put Peyton in his stroller (yes he's 3 1/2--and 43 inches tall and rides in a stroller--well when I'm in an airport by myself I do, scares me to death what could happen) and I grab our bags, I learned from the last trip to attach the luggage on top of each other, plus it's easier to move around. We checked in our luggage, everything is going great! Then, we have to go through the security point. I know people hate waiting for those that have kids to go through the security point, and this time, my child does not want to take off his shoes, I don't understand this phobia, but he didn't, it was so frustrating!!! But, God gave me amazing patience this trip...so we finally made it through, Praise God! :0)
Then, we waited for a little while, and we were the first on the plane, I love the way some airlines let those w/kids under 5 board 1st!!! It's great! Peyton was so excited to go on the plane...He mostly watched his DVD player on the flight to TX....he was great! ;0) Then we landed, headed to the baggage claim, and my sweet parents were standing there, with Valentines Roses for me, and a Valentines gift for Peyton, I felt so special! It has been ages since I spent Valentines w/my parents (but I missed MY Valentine) but it was sweet to see the roses and my parents...lol didn't mean to put roses first HA!
When we got to the house, my dad, had filled up his pond last April w/catfish, baby catfish then, and he was so proud to take his 1st grandson fishing! And guess what! Peyton caught his 1st fish!!!
And he also road on a paddle boat:
After this day Peyton was flat worn OUT!!! It was a long day, and he had no problems going to sleep!
Friday, we just ran errands...
Saturday, was the wedding day....
It was a very pretty wedding, considering my parents and sister, and her inlaws got it together in 3 weeks!
Peyton loves his aunts....
My sister was gorgeous :0) Here are some photos...
And Peyton was a doll!!! :0)
Peyton was a Bell Boy with another little boy by the name of Max(and please note, he's 5 and Peyton is 3 look how they're the same size)....he's a little boy Becca babysat, and during rehearsal, they raced down the aisle LOL!!! and with the bells it was HILARIOUS!!! But when they came down during the actual wedding they were soooo good and so sweet!!! I was proud of them, here are few photos of the 2 of them being silly, and then another picture with the Bride and Groom and the flower girl-Margie, Max's sister...
Then, Doug, the groom, had a sister who is 15, that Peyton ADORED...he met her Thursday, and wanted to be with her all the time!!! (He loves teen girls for some reason ;0) could it be he's around them all the time!?) lol here is a photo of the two of them...
He had it bad, when he went back to my parents house to go to sleep after spending the whole night with her, at the wedding and reception, he cried and cried for her, and would say "Brooke come here" it tore me up!!! It was awful!!!! But, it's ok now...
This is my 2 sisters and brother....
And this is our entire family, minus my hubby :0(
All 6 of us minus our siblings and Em's boyfriend...and of course Peyton ;0)
And here is a photos of my sisters, sister-in-law, and me...
(pictured l-r)Sister in "love"-Heidi Hall, Sister, Emily, Sister Rebecca...
And my last story is....
Sunday, our flight was at 1.35, and my parents wanted to take us all out for a brunch....But! IHOP didn't cooperate with that idea, they are SO slow, in getting seated and the food, well the one in Allen, TX lol at about 11 a.m.....it was tough...so we got at the airport at 1, the line to check in baggage was TERRIBLE, I finally got to the counter, they said that they can't ASSURE us that the baggage will be there b/c it was less than 30 mins to leave....UGHHHH I was so frustrated! Then we went to the security line, and it was even WORSE, and I asked a lady that worked there if I could cut, she said no, but there's another security place and shorter line, and sure enough it was, but we SPRINTED there, and then Peyton was crying b/c he didn't want to leave Pops and Grammy and everyone...it was awful, then he didn't want to take off his shoes...even worse...stressing me out! We made it through, w/less than 10 minutes to fly out time!!! Then I ran up to the gate, and the man said I hold the key to the gate so you're getting on, I WAS SOOOO RELIEVED, I could stop worrying!!! SIGH! We got on the plane, as soon as I got on they said, please shut the door, I was the LAST one on ;-) but we made it, then we took off, and Peyton slept the entire way there!!! It was relaxing....Then we got off...and our LUGGAGE WAS THERE!!!! Yay!!!
Our weekend, was a very good, but DRAMATIC weekend LOL!!!! God is Good!
