I’m back!
Wow….what a long two weeks! I've come back to work to a zillion e-mails and calls to return so I promise, I'll reply to them all within the next 48 hours! 🙂 We have tons of photos to post too so be checking back throughout the week for some awesome photos and funny stories from our adventure to Mexico! LOL
Out of the office…
We will be out of the office for the rest of this week and next week, returning on July 30th and we'll return all calls and e-mails when we return! Check back the week of the 30th for new photos of our 7/14 wedding, 7/15 engagement session and tomorrow's maternity session PLUS some fabulous pics from an exotic destination!! 🙂
Congratulations Tiffany & Aaron!
Tiffany & Aaron were married on the famous 7/7/07 last Saturday at Valle Vista! You may remember their engagement session with the Harley motorcycle from a few months ago….well, it made an appearance at the wedding too! 🙂 They are just the coolest couple who love to have a good time and they're so much in love.
Karen Hall & Co. did a great job with her hair & make-up that day…she looked stunning!
Here's our handsome groom….S&K made sure their tuxes were perfect as usual…:)
Here's Tiffany's adorable son, Tyler. 🙂
Loved the blue sky and the details in the veil!!
Tiffany arrived in a horse drawn carriage which was a cool surprise for her guests…
The horse was still sporting red, white & blue nail polish from the 4th….
I loved their aisle runner….so SWEET…
LOVE it!!
Their hands formed a perfect heart together….so cute!
LOL!! Hilarious!!!!
These little girls were so cute…you could tell the one on the right was done with her sister taking pictures. That's probably how my sisters feel some days! LOL
I even caught Grandma dancing at her table…go Grandma!! 🙂
Congratulations Gold #5….two years undefeated & untied in Notre Dame Stadium!
Some of you probably remember last year's blog post about my dad participating in the Notre Dame Fantasy Football Camp. Well, on July 4th we headed north to South Bend again for another awesome game and even more great memories. Check out some of my favorites! 🙂 Since Rocco's was going to be closed on 7/4, John & I had dinner with my aunt and my sisters at Rocco's the night before dad's big game. They have the best pizza in South Bend and now dad's picture from last year's game hangs on their walls next to Lou Holtz, Frank Leahy and other famous ND coaches and players!
It rained early that morning but cleared up in time for all of us to head over to the stadium…
Since we got there early, I pulled out my fisheye and snapped a few cool, unique pics of Touchdown Jesus…
Here's one of my beautiful sisters, Mary…
John got a shot of my nails…:) Last year, my sisters painted their nails blue & gold for dad's game and so the day before we left, I had a few minutes to run over and get my nails filled and when I got there, they had a new shade of blue polish…so, what the heck, I went ahead and painted them blue & gold. 😀 Of course, the lady at the nail place probably thought I had lost my mind. LOL Oh, by the way…if you look closely, you can see where the logo bling idea came from. 😀 My e-ring is a heart shaped diamond…unique and girley, John did good. 🙂
We had Mazda Signs in Carmel print up this 30×40 in. banner for dad before we left and they did a fantastic job!! We surprised him with it that day after he came out onto the field for practice…he had the best looking sign of course….;)
(Rudy theme song playing here….) 🙂
#7 on the wristband, in memory of dad's friend Arty, who played for the NDFFC last year…
Us pros rarely get our pics taken…LOL…here's one of Mike, the official NDFFC photographer…he's a great sports photographer and the official Notre Dame football photographer too. I talked to his wife for awhile during half time and she's so nice!! He stays with the guys from the day they arrive until after the game so he's able to get a lot of behind the scenes shots that I love…and I'll be buying more this year I'm sure! 😀
Gold team won 21 to 0!
After the game, we all had dinner in the President's VIP box upstairs. It was delicious and the view was incredible….here's my favorite shot of dad taking it all in. I don't think he knows we got this shot…:)
Autograph time!
Congrats dad, we love you!!!
Congratulations Leah!
My baby sister participated in her first horse show July 1st. She did an AMAZING job and we're all so proud of her! She and her horse, Thumper, were quite the team that day as they ended up with 5 ribbons for her first show! WOW!!! She received 1 blue ribbon for the walk/trot competition….1 blue ribbon for walk, trot, canter and two 4th place ribbons, one for crosspoles and one for low fence. She won All Around Grande Champion of her division in her league. Here are a few of my faves….
I think Thumper thought my camera was food. 😀
He's blushing…:)
Favorite!
This shot meant a lot to me…when she first started riding, I took a picture of her walking out of the barn with the horse next to her. Here we are a few years later…same shot as a silhouette with her show ribbons in hand. I love you Lebe!
