Our son's wedding

August 27, 2011 at 5 p.m.

Our son, Michael and his fiancee, Becca were married Saturday the 27th, it was such a beautiful wedding!  I'm so happy for both of them, they are such a cute couple and we're happy to have her part of the family, officially.  And their little one, Kaleb was so cute in his suit and bow tie, he had a ball during the reception playing with the new Lightning McQueen car that Becca's Mom and Dad {Grandma & Grandpa} gave him during the end of the wedding.  The wedding party looked awesome dressed in black and white.  My DH {Poppy}, Larry was extremely handsome in his tux!!  Jordan {older DGS} looked super cute and a little older standing very still during the wedding.  Super job, Jordan!
We're proud of Michael and look forward to seeing them officially known as the MARTIN FAMILY!!

These photos were taken by my Dadum's a.k.a. G.G.  Thank you, Dadums!!

Journaling:

Kaleb, I wonder what you were thinking when Daddy & Poppy told you that the potato was fries.  Maybe you were thinking that fries sounded good because you tried to take a bite of the potato.  Daddy, Poppy and Mema were laughing and you decided it was funny too!  But eventually you threw the potatoes on the floor and just used them like a ball the rest of the day.
