Road trip, Wedding, Family Fun!

This past weekend my parents, husband, baby, and I crammed into my van for a fun weekend in Texas with family. We watched my cousin Luke marry his beautiful bride Carly and celebrated their union throughout the entire weekend. It was really a wonderful trip! Grady traveled extremely well. He only got a little fussy after picking up two of the three dogs and heading back to Fort Smith from Russellville after 11 o'clock last night. We're glad to be home but loved spending so much time with my family.

Get ready for picture overload! To be honest, I stole most of these from other people. I actually forgot to take that many pictures but ended up with a lot after compiling some from others. Enjoy!!
Sweet cousins meeting Grady for the first time.
wonderful rehearsal dinner

The best steaks we have ever had!! Lonesome Dove was an amazing venue for the rehearsal dinner. I do have to mention that although I ate like a queen all weekend, I did manage to run two out of the three days away. Nathan ran with me so my pace was a lot faster, too!
breakfast with uncle nate
Grace loved Grady, and if this picture is any indication, Grady loved being held by Grace! I wish she lived closer. She'd be an amazing babysitter :)!!
We got to spend the day with the beautiful Carolina! She loved seeing Grady and enjoyed the animals at the zoo, too.

Lunch at Joe T Garcia's - Yummy fajitas, guacamole, and cheese dip!
I love un-posed pictures. We made some wonderful memories.

We had such a wonderful time with my family. But the fun didn't stop on wedding night.. It continued as we said our goodbyes the following day at a lovely brunch outside.

Grady looks massive in Angela's arms.
Kate loved Grady, too! She just kept rocking him so sweetly!
If you made it this far, props to you. I realize there are a ton of pictures. Clearly, we squeezed a lot of things into just two/three days. It was really a great trip. Now back to a pile of laundry, normal naps, my lovely dogs, eating healthy, and running. I hope you all have a wonderful week.

Much love,
Emily
