The Pictures From My Trip
This is my nephew David. I took this picture so my kids could see their cousin, and that he is up and around again. He is recovering from a major accident that he had in his pickup truck. The truck didn't fare too well against a concrete retaining wall. David took a pretty good lickin' in the wreck, breaking his cheek bones, nose, and skull across his eye sockets. The best news was that his neck was NOT broken as first thought. It's great to see him up and around, he is gradually regaining his memory, and is doing quite well, If he would just listen to his body and let it rest he would recover faster. But what can you tell a youngin' that they don't already know more?
And here we have the Bride & Groom to be. Kenneth Ray O'Dell & Crystal Jo Patillo. This was taken Monday evening at my Motel. The first time in 15 years I had seen my kids. IT WAS GREAT!!!
And here is me and my oldest son. I should have kept my hat on too. My hair looked like I stuck my finger in a light socket because of the humidity.
Heres Kenny & me again, less belly this time! See what you have to look forward to if your not careful Kenny!?!
Here are the three greatest kids a Dad could ever ask for, and their mother too. The tall one in the back is Dannny, Tanya is in the front, then Kenny, and Donna (mom) on the right.
Hers's the original clan. Now you tell me, has my baby girl grown into a beautiful young lady or what?? Good thing she got here looks from her mom, and not me like Kenny did. Sorry Son!!
Heres the girls! Tanya Joy (daughter) on the left, Donna (mom) in the middle, and Crystal Jo (daughter-in-law) on the right, there probably gunna kill me for posting this one. They had been working all day on decorations and preparations for the rehearsal dinner.
Heres the top of the cake. I was so busy taking video of people that attended I almost didn't get picture of it before they hauled it off!
This is a close up of the head stone on the top of the cake. hehehe
Another shot of the cake. It tasted as good as it looks
Heres the oldest & youngest, Kenny & Tanya together at the reception.
Heres Danny (L), Tanya (M), and Kenny (R).
Hey they clean up pretty good don't they?!
This is Brides Maid Tanya, the new Bride Crystal, The Groom Kenny and the Best Man Danny all together.
Can you see why I'm such a proud Papa.
These are the kids only living Grandparents,
they are their step father Marty's Mom & Dad.
After the hitchen' we went back to moms house to change clothes for the trip home, and to visit a little more before having to leave. Donna's on the left, her son Martin is in the back, he was quick, I never saw anyone get out of a tux so fast. Tanya and Mike were just getting out of the car, and he was already changed. Of course, my best girl is front & center, and that is her boyfriend Mike trying to close the door.
Here are a couple pictures of Tanya Joy and here boyfriend Michael Daniel.
Here is another picture of Tanya Joy and here boyfriend Mike,
and mom snuck in too. :-) Just kidding!
OK Mike, that's enough. Tanya looks like she just bit into a lemon,
or you stepped in something nasty.
Check your shoes before you go in the house!!!
Well, that's all the pictures I have for now. I didn't get pictures of the whole wedding party. I wasn't thinking very clearly, too happy I guess. I got a lot of video of them, but no snapshots. I hope to have some more to post later. I hope you enjoyed the pictures of the best week I've had in a long time, if so Please click on Home, and sign my Guest Book, Thanks.
So for now I will say so long, never goodbye, and I wish you enough...
