10.11.12---My sister's wedding day! She has been engaged for over a year just so she could have that date! Lucky for me the date fell during my fall break so I didn't have to miss much of work and we could stay longer. Since we decided to save $900 and drive instead of fly we left early Wednesday morning to be there for her wedding on Thursday. With two kids and a 12 hour drive I dreaded the long hours in the car but my kids did great!!!! No crying or fighting. We got out to play at every meal so that helped a lot. Otherwise they slept, watched movies, or played on the ipad.
We only drove 10 hours the first day because I wanted to see my favorite Jarvis family. I miss them so much. I have known them forever and I can't believe how grown up all the kids are. THANKS Karen and Gary for letting us stay and for the wonderful meal!!! We stayed with them that night and then we drove the other two hours to the church where my sister was getting married and helped get everything and everyone ready.
Memphis and Kayzee put on talent shows on the stage for everyone...so cute the two of them dancing and singing. I feel bad Danny missed the wedding because the kids were asleep in the car but they made it in for pictures and the reception. The wedding ceremony was perfect. Short and sweet. I loved that the Bishop didn't want to talk forever and give tons of advice. He just wanted them to remember one thing...how they felt on their special day. PERFECT ADVICE! I am so excited for my sister Annalyn and my new brother-in-law Curtis (welcome to the family!) and I hope they have a wonderful life together.
*The pictures are in a totally random order. I got them from my camera and my sister's camera...ENJOY!
I did both my sister's hair and my own. Nothing too fancy but I found these blue rose hair clips (perfect color to match) to go in both mine and Alicia's hair. Alicia, Me, and Annalyn's friend Dora were the bridesmaids.
This is Jessica Jarvis. I miss her face! It was so fun to see her and I am glad she made it to the wedding with her brother Cam and her dad.
This is Dora. Annalyn's friend and maid of honor.
My sister had to get a picture of me getting ready.
I tried curling my sister's hair with a curling iron but she has the straightest hair! Nothing would hold the curl so we tried hot rollers and the curls held for the ceremony but her hair went flat by the reception. Oh well...her dress is beautiful! Thanks Juli Redford for adding the blue color to her dress:)
The men...my brother Chris, Curtis' brother, best man, groom Curtis, and Annalyn.

My sister told me I needed to find a royal blue dress. HA! After 9 different stores I was ready to quit but the last store I tried I found this dress on their clearance rack. $110 down to $20 bucks!

Had to get a picture of my heels because I NEVER wear heels. Danny is too short for me to wear heels and since he wasn't in the wedding line I could wear them HE HE!

Their theme was "You rock my world" so they decorated with Curtis' guitars

Memphis asked this girl to dance. This is the second time I have seen Memphis holding a girl's hand. Oh dear, I am in trouble;) But they sure were cute dancing together...
