To the Land of the Cowpokes

This weekend, we traveled to Stillwater, OK to attend the wedding of a long time friend of mine. Many years ago, I was the flower girl at Rhonda's wedding. I would also stay with her for a week during the summer in OKC when I was growing up. Rhonda's mother lived by my Grandmother and Rhonda was my babysitter when I was little. They were like family to me. On my seventh birthday, they took me to Chuck E. Cheese and Wet & Wild Water Park. It was my best birthday memory! Rhonda's daughter, Emi, got married this weekend. After she gets back from her honeymoon, she will begin vet school at OSU. I am so proud of her! Not to sound too old, but I can remember the day she was born! The beautiful bride, Emi
Grandma Tessie
She can still dance pretty good!

The beautiful, but broke, bride's mother, Rhonda :)))

She was holding all the money she had left after the wedding!

She is so funny!

If you know my daughter, she is extremely timid. While all were dancing, Addison stood on the edge of the dance floor and watched. She wanted to get out there, but she just couldn't do it. Finally a song came on that she knew and out she went (with Mommy and Brock). Once she got out there, she did not want to stop. She is now our Dancing Queen. She danced until she wore Brock out! That is hard to do.

Brock twisting his booty!

This picture was taken before she started dancing.
Addison & Brock enjoyed dipping marshmellows, strawberries & pretzels in the chocolate fountain. They were pretty yummy!
Family picture taken by Addison....Brock is way too happy here.
Dancing with Daddy....who absolutely hates to dance.
I told them they better start practicing for her big day, in 30 years.

As we were leaving, Addison said this was the best night ever and she didn't want to leave.

We had to eat at the legendary hang-out, Eskimoe Joes, on Saturday afternoon.



Brock is trying to give the Cowpoke sign. This is for you, Mac!

He thinks he is so cool.

This is the view from our window. We figured this was as close as we would get to the brand new football stadium that was funded by a very rich Texan! We had a great time this weekend and it was so nice to spend time with friends that we don't get to see very much. Now it is time to start thinking about school.........blah!
