Bree and Ryan's Wedding 8-1-09

Bree came into our lives 8 years ago as a babysitter for the girls. She slowly started coming over more and more often. Then it turned into Sunday dinners. We saw her off to 9th grade formal, a jobs daughter ceremony, graduation (we missed some of this because of well....let the sad stories be for another time), and now a marriage. Funny things I can remember: first dinner she spilt milk all over the table, her first car and driving lessons, her first real boyfriend (not something we care to remember), family trips (she gets strep throat and grandma Light has to take care of her), trips to Denver, rafting down the river, White water rafting in colorado and almost getting her killed. The memories could go on forever....point is she is loved by us as anyone could love a child. Now on her special day we could not be more please to see her be with a gentleman who loves and cares for her as we would.
Here is Bree and Theresa trying to get the dress...who let the pregnant girl stand on a chair to reach her dress???? Waiting patiently upstairs for the gentlemen to finish pictures...Ken is trying to keep her hydrated.
