I tell you a brief description of my family, because this weekend (after an argument with my sister on Friday, in which my parents had to, once again, intervene) we all got together to celebrate the dedication of these two beautiful babies:
Lily Reese Taylor
Lucy Kate Taylor
Lucy Kate Taylor
Here are the proud parents: My sister Leah and her husband, Ryan, who I believe has to think the same thing as Jason does: How did I find such a dysfunctional family to marry in to? (remember, I only gave you a brief description. our two husband's know the whole story)!
One, big, happy family:
One, big, happy family:
l to r: Brock, me, mom, Leah holding Lily, Ryan holding Lucy, dad, and Rylee
D-Daddy holding Lucy
Mom and Dad with all four of their very lucky grandchildren. We could not ask for better grandparents for our children!
This is Ryan's dad. He is the pastor of Lurton Assembly. He did the ceremony and did a great job.
After the dedication ceremony, we went to Ryan's parent's house to eat one of THE BEST MEALS that I have had in a VERY LOOONNNNG time! Oh my goodness, we had Pork tenderloin, mashed potatoes, macaroni, squash casserole, cole slaw, baked beans. I know I am leaving something out. There was so much food and it was all homemade and southern and well, just down right yummy. Mom and I talked about that meal all the way home. And, obviously, I am still talking about it!! It was so sweet of Thelma, Ryan's mom, to cook such a great meal. My sister has talked about the food at length with pictures and all of that here. We had a really nice visit with Ryan's family: mom, dad, brother, and sister-in-law. And, all of the kids had a blast playing with one another.
I know you are jealous of my weird looking hairstyle and my navy t-shirt and my black earrings.
How could I not end my post with what we ended dinner with? This was DELICIOUS! It is called a Ding Dong cake. Oh my goodness...this is the culprit to my weight gain over the weekend! On Friday, before I left, I had lost 12 pounds. When I came back on Sunday, I had gained 5 pounds back!! But, Oh My.....it was so worth it!
