Two weekends ago, we packed Emery up and went to Florida for my cousin, Ben's wedding. She did great traveling once again and we had so much fun visiting with all my family. This was my mom's whole side of the family, and unbelievable every single aunt, uncle, cousin and child made it except 1-- pretty impressive!
I was on baby duty for the wedding so I only took one picture of Ben and all his pink tied groomsmen. Emery stayed awake the entire time but didn't let out a peep thank heavens! My dad still is not able to sit with all the damage due to his sacrum from the cancer, so Van kept him company standing in the back. Van was my dad's best man in mom and dad's wedding, so they were on cloud 9 being together again!
We stayed for family pictures afterwards and then headed to the reception!
We had so much fun and stayed until 10:30 or so! We got to catch up with my cousin Sarah (Ben's sister) and her daughter Addyson. They have a little boy on the way and they are about to move to Charlotte, so exciting!
Love getting to see my Aunt Debbie too! Grandma and Debbie were the baby sitters all night so Kyle and I were able to dance a lot!
And of course I had to document the "boys". Kyle has a blast anytime we hang out with the cousins, we are so lucky to all be around the same age! (And yes these guys even make Kyle look like a shrimp at 6 foot 1!)
I'm sad we didn't even get a shot of our family together, but Kyle did snap one of Em and I:
Sunday we hung at the pool until it was time to check out. The Nats had a blast at the pool, and even Em sported a terry cloth jumpsuit!
We then headed to my Uncle Johnny's house for a family BBQ. Johnny and JoAnne rented a 17 foot blow up slide for their back yard... to say the kids loved it was a huge understatement. Even Nick, Kyle and Jamie flew down that thing all afternoon!
Here is a picture of the whole family together!
And all the grandkids & great grandkids!
And all the cousins!
It's so neat to think all these people are here because of my Grandpa and Grandma. We are truly blessed!

Sunday night we hung out with my family at their Disney resort! Even though we were sad we weren't going to be spending the week there with everyone it was still fun to drive through that "welcome to disney gate"! In a couple years we'll be back with Emery when she can truly enjoy it!

Can't believe it was already 2 weekends ago! What a joy it was to see (almost)my whole family together (we missed Jeff for sure!). You are right...we are truly blessed!
It looks like you guys had a blast! So fun that the whole family could come. Emery in that terry cloth jumpsuit is adorable! And that slip and slide jumpy thing is huge! How fun.
I thought the same thing as Mom~ Was it really 2 weekends ago?!? Wow, time flies! So glad that we got to see you and spend some time with you! Love you!
Looks like you guys had such a great trip! Oh my gosh that blow up slide looks like a blast!! Glad you got to spend some fun, quality time with your family!
