To The Happy Couple ~ Congratulations Lauren & Scott!

April 24 - 26, 2009

Enjoy these pictures from our weekend at Bentwater (Conroe, TX) where we celebrated Scott and Lauren's big day!

The weekend began Friday morning as Grandma, Reese and I headed to Conroe, TX. First stop...lunch at Taco Bueno! Second stop...Target!


We stayed at Bentwater, a private community located off Lake Conroe, in The Villas. It was a house big enough for Mom, Sam, Grandma, Matt, Reese and me and was a perfect get-a-way. Although Reese wasn't so sure she liked it at first. Actually, she down right disliked it and let us know about it for the first 10 minutes or more. Every time I took her inside she screamed and balled, so back out we went to play. Eventually she got used to the idea of staying and started exploring.


That evening, Grandma kept Reese, while Mom, Sam, Matt and I went to the rehearsal dinner at McKenzie's BBQ.


It was a Brooks Brothers wedding as the guys wore BB ties!

On Saturday, Matt head out early to play golf with the guys and Reese took a dip in the BIG tub, which she also wasn't so sure about at first.


After getting squeaky clean, we played and played before our shopping trip at the Conroe Outlets.


Grandpa Sam joined us outside on the patio and Reese organized leaves.

Sam kept handing her different sized leaves and she would place them on the grass. One time he handed her a long stem with many leaves and her first placement was half on the grass and half on the concrete. She kept picking it up and moving it until it was completely on the grass.






Then we played ball. Reese was so coordinated at picking up and throwing her ball!







After lunch at Cracker Barrel, we hit the outlets. Reese picked a cute pair of shorts at Carter's.


I thought this was one of the cutest things I've ever seen!


Mommy, I don't think they have my size on this rack of 2T's...I was able to find an 18 months for her!


Reese with her Gigi!


And before we knew it, it was time to head back to The Villas to get dressed for the wedding.


Joe and Pat look fancy!


Reese did so well for the 7:00 wedding. I was worried she might melt down, but she started her bottle before the ceremony began and finished it after the ceremony ended. Good timing!


It was a beautiful ceremony facing the lake. And the rain hung on until we finished most of the pictures.



Daddy looking down at Reese as he walks down the aisle.

Yay! Reese hung in there too!


Scott designed and hand painted the aisle runner...impressive!

The reception was at the lovely Bentwater Country Club and we had tons-o-fun! Here are Matt, Melissa, Scott and Jessica.

Reese, Mom, Sam and Grandma headed out around 10:15 while Matt and I caught up with our dear friends, Chad, Jennifer, Todd and Leslie.

Pat's siblings: Carolyn, Barb and Tim.


On Sunday, Aunt Sharon hosted a lovely brunch at her house on The Lake. We had mimosas, the best kolaches ever and made-to-order omelets. Reese wore a super cute brunch outfit and had fun eating on the patio and visiting with everyone.


What a great smile Reese!

When we got home, Reese got comfy in her new shorts and helped unpack.

Matt had to head out of town that evening for work, and I took Monday off to recover, do laundry and take Reese to visit her new day care and to her 15 month appointment.
