Back in Illinois visiting part 2

Aug 28 – Sept 3, 2009

After a day of kids, it was time to get dressed up and go out for the evening. Friends of ours daughter was getting married and we promised to come back to the wedding. Here is a picture of us with our granddaughter Hailey, we took her to the wedding with us.

I did manage to capture a picture of Kevin & Jeanette our friends i mentioned earlier in my blog.

Here is the proud parents of the bride. Our good friends Roger and Sandy. We all seem to clean up nicely!

Here comes the bride & groom. Hmm there is no sun but they don’t seem to understand that … think it’s because of the flash or is this a new trend?

Uh oh … look everyone i caught grandma doing the jitter bug! Wow can she ever jitter. Guess no one has let Aunt Mae know that she is suppose to sit and look pretty as grandma of the bride … Aunt Mae you go girl ( Mae is not our aunt, she is actually Kevin aunt .. his dad’s brother wife, but we have always called her aunt mae too)

Here is Aunt Mae & Deana maid of honor doing the jitter bug and i finally got their front side … hehe (deana is the bride’s sister and aunt mae grand daughter)

Oh now, look! 2 rotten teeth guys hugging … OH my what is gonna happen next at this hoot of a party?

finally we have the father/daughter dance, what a sweet precious moment for both

Then they had the traditional dollar dance and here is hubby and i both doing our part. If there is any DJ’s out there reading this. I have a question??? Why do you always wait until later in the evening to do this after most of the generous elderly people have done left the party? I have never understood why the dollar dance is not done earlier in the evening before those older folks who don’t like the loud music leave and who are also the generous ones … anyone got a answer for me?

Of course i had to fight my way to the groom as these two were trying to cut in line for their turn to dance with the groom! I had to beat them off with my cane! Since i wouldn’t let them cut in front of me, look what they did. Look out now guys i have it in color and you better be digging up some big time green backs now …. LOL

Well Mr. Billybob finally got his chance to dance with the groom, although i’m not so the groom was a thrilled as Billybob … LOL

Billybob finally got the laugh he wanted, the groom just couldn’t not laugh esp when Billybob hair got out of place .. I’m telling you all this Billybob is a hoot and the belle of the ball … ooops wedding.

Wow Grandma (aunt Mae) finally jitter bugged herself out … or hmmm did someone remind her that grandma’s are suppose to sit and look as beautiful as she is here?

Billybob ( Mike’s … brother in law of the bride .. wife of the maid of honor) daughter Sierra decided to take her chance at the outfit, although she is adorable … love ya Sierra

We had a great time at the wedding reception and it’s been a wonderful day of visiting family and friends. We were both exhausted, Hailey was wore out from her day of fun and it was time to say good bye, hugs and head on the road to an hour drive back to our son house.

Hope you all enjoy the pictures, i can not began to describe the fun we’ve had tonight
