Garden of the Gods wedding

This weekend we headed down to Colorado Springs to attend the wedding of the little boy who used to live across the street from me while growing up.  I still picture him as that little boy, and so every time I see him I am just so impressed with how great of a guy he has grown up to be.  He and his beautiful bride were high school sweethearts!
And I needed a trip home- it always re-grounds me.  So thank you to my friends and family for reminding me how blessed I am.

Jamison and his little girl.

My beautiful Mom.  She got Emmery dressed for the day and put a few stitches in her headband so that it would fit :)

Emmery smiling at Katie.

Emmery loves cuddling with her Grandpa.  He can always get her to fall asleep with his easy-going, calm nature.

And the biggest highlight of the weekend was watching the groom dance with his mother.  Debbie was my second mom growing up, and I lover her dearly.  Over the last two years she has been diagnosed with lou gehrigs.  She has recently started using a wheelchair, but with courage and determination she was able to accomplish something that meant a lot to her- dance with her son on his wedding day.


 Here are Jamison and I at the wedding, which was at the Garden of the Gods club.

Kissing in front of Kissing Camels :-)

And little Emmery on her sweet 16.  This week she has started rolling a little more and has enjoyed discovering her feet and trying to eat them.
