Less than a year behind...

I thought I would try and do a little catching up on my blog post.  I found three posts from last Christmas (2010) that I had finished just never hit the publish button.  Soooo, since it's the middle of November, 2011, I decided I should probable go ahead and get these on here.  I have a lot of catching up to do like my sweet baby Lillie making her appearance into this big ol' world, Nicole and Scott's wedding, vacations, weekend trips to the lake with friends, etc., and of course I will have a post for my dear, sweet friend Connie who we lost to cancer in June, (I've started on this one, just can't seem to finish it up).  Eventually, maybe one day, I will get caught up - or maybe that is just wishful thinking on my part.  Anyway, just keep checking and one day you'll be surprised to see some new pictures and find out what's been happening with the Killgores.

Mamaw Mary had a package under the tree from Aunt Shirley and Uncle Clyde.

She almost cried when she read the card.

At this point, she still had not figured out what it is.

This is the point she figured it out...they bought her a new laptop.

I was playing with my new camera.  Cool picture of Brandon and Daniel.

Sue was my model for the day and what a beautiful model she is!

Weyland and Grant were trying to figure out how to use Grant's GPS I got him for Christmas.

I though maybe reading the instructions might help...silly girl

Michelle

John David

Our new addition...I made April show me the little baby.  I can't wait till July 4th.  Take a look at Randy's and Donna's face, do you think they are happy about that baby too.

The happy mama and daddy

Jason you need to move, you are squishing that baby.

Look, that is going to be one pretty little baby!!

Mr. and Mrs. Jeremy Keith Smth

It's been two months since our last family wedding.  I acquired a beautiful new niece, Brittnay, when Jeremy married her on April 16, 2011.  Of course, I claimed her long before then!

Jeremy and Cory finally decided it was time to get dressed.  I have to tell you, those guys were making me nervous in waiting till the last minute to get dressed.

This would be the first of many times I asked Jeremy stop and look at me so I could make his picture.  I will admit though, that he was a pretty good sport about it.

Jake and Brandon weren't in to big of a hurry to get dressed either.

Ayden, Brittnay's nephew, was busy hiding in the choir robes. Helyn, Brittnay's sister, was doing her best to get him out.

The beautiful bride putting her makeup on, getting ready for the big event.

 

Brittnay didn't look like she was putting to much trust in Ashley.  Looks like she's about to say, "Don't you poke me in the eye." 

 

Melissa and Keith with their soon to be daughter-in-law.

The bridal party, minus the groom of course.  This was made before the wedding.

 I love this picture.  One of my favorite pictures from my wedding was the one with my daddy and Grant's daddy kissing my cheeks.

Brittnay had three beautiful flower girls.

Helyn, Daisey, Brittnay, and Shea

Shea was so excited about getting a new cousin...

and I was very happy about Brittnay becoming my niece!

You can take the bride out of the country but you can't take country out of the bride.

 I just couldn't see her wearing anything but these boots under that wedding dress.

The very happy, and might I add, beautiful, mother-of-the-groom, Melissa.

My baby brother and a proud father-of-the-groom, Keith

Awww, Jeremy, it's gonna be ok, we are almost through making pictures.....not!!



Jeremy, Keith and Jake...the silly goof



Keith and Melissa have some handsome boys, don't you think?

Jake, Jeremy, Melissa, Keith and Brandon

Jeremy with his Kimmy and Leenie

There was this small mishap...well, you see, what had happened was, I was trying to straighten Jake's tie so when I tried to unbutton his vest the button just popped off in my hand.  Awwww, dang!!

Never fear, Mamaw Mary was near.  I'm so glad Melissa brought a small sewing kit.

Little Ayden was just sitting so patiently, waiting on his turn to have his picture made

Brandon and his little buddy, Ayden

Jason was sitting patiently too, just waiting his turn.

Ariel and Brittney

Colyn, Kelsey, Cory and Lindsey

Jeremy and his Aunt Melanie

If I know these two (and I know these two), they are probably trying to decide what to do to the car and how to get to Jeremy before he gets in the car.

Brandon and John David looking like they are up to something

Some of the guest starting to arrive

Lindsey, Courtney, Zach, and Sadie

This is part of the Smith crew that was there.  Michael and his kids came in from Texas.

First row...Michael, Bradley, Courtney, Ashlyn, Aunt Faye.  Second row...Randy, Donna, Weyland, Carol, Sue.  Third row...George and Gary

 

Mamaw Mary and Jason

Looks like April was concentrating on that pin.

Cory, Papaw Norris, and Colyn were waiting on the wedding to start.

                  She is always smiling that beautiful smile and he is always trying to mess up my pictures by sticking out his tongue. 

John David and Sadie

Melissa said she looked like Willow Smith in this picture..."I whip my hair back and forth". hahaha (And if you are one of the lucky people who have never heard that song all I can say is "good for you.")

Brandon with his cute little smile

Bro. Jerry Dark and Jeremy watching the wedding party come in.

Best man, Jason, and Maid-of-honor, Ashley

And Jeremy gave one to Tammy.



One rose on the memory table for Brittnay's father.

You may kiss the bride.

Mr. and Mrs. Jeremy Keith Smith

They are both looking a little more relaxed now.

Such a cute couple!!

These two together could mean t-r-o-u-b-l-e.  Well, maybe not these days, but I know a time when this was a true statement.

Keith and Tommy



Papaw Norris, and Mamaw Mary are waiting for family pictures after the ceremony



Hauling her into the reception

I think this is just before their first dance.

The Wedding Cake

The Groom's Cake

Brittnay

Jeremy

Shea didn't want to dance with Jeremy during the money dance, she just wanted to give him some money.  I got a feeling that was fine and dandy with Jeremy.

Jeremy and Shea

Silly Shea and her daddy

Jeremy and Brittnay were getting ready to leave the reception

Brittnay made it to the car

Ooooooh, John David, we all see you...Would that be yucky, gooey stuff you are putting under that door handle?  I knew it!!!

What you doing John David?

And they are off. .

I pray they have a long, beautiful life together that is always full of love and respect for each other.
