One of Tommy's best friend's, Sean (with a best round award from a great round they played together), gave an amazing heartfelt speech about their friendship and there was not a dry eye in the house! 

The BIG DAY was quickly approaching, and Friday night was a perfect way to set the stage for a Beautiful, fun, friend, family, and LOVE filled wedding day!

It's Wedding Time! (spa and luncheon)

 So the above pic has nothing to do with the spa or luncheon.....but it is a GREAT way to start this post!!!! HELOOOOO Cuteness!!! (Cooper is 8 months and his cousin Grant is 6 months)

 Friday morning Paige's mom was gracious enough to host all the bridesmaids at the spa, so this mama got a massage! Paige got her toes done and we all enjoyed a relaxing morning with girl time and a little champagne! 

 After the spa we headed to the resort hotel for a bridal luncheon hosted by Paige's maternal Grandmother (Mama Faye). It was a beautiful set up on the terrace and the food was delicious!

It's Wedding Time!! (beach and meet and greet)

Last week we finally headed to Florida for Uncle Tommy and Aunt Paige's much anticipated Florida wedding. The weather was perfect so on Thursday we hit the beach and the pool! It was Cooper's first time at the beach and he did a fair amount of sand eating :) 

We brought our babysitter Megan with us......BEST decision we EVER made!!!! We might never travel without her again! She loves our kiddos, and we all love her!! 

Grandma and Scarlett

the bride joined us for a bit as well!

Thursday night we headed to the beach house that Paige's parents had rented for a meet and greet. The kiddos all looked so cute in their navy and coral.
