The Wedding... Girls

By now you probably know this is one of my favorite pictures...

and these are also my favorite girls!!!

Girls that have known me as "Momma Lynn" most of their lives...

I Love each and everyone of them...

Except for her new Sister-in-law that I have only known for almost 5 years...

I have known most of these girls a really long time!

My oldest daughter Colleen was Amanda's Maid of Honor

and a beautiful one she was..

I knew she would choose this beautiful blue color for her shoes and flowers

because she is my daughter, with those big beautiful blue eyes...

that she took after her daddy!

Colleen...

This picture says it all...

These sisters are so close and that make me so so happy!

Just 3 years and 10 days apart...

But she shared the honor of Maid of Honor with Amanda's life long Best Friend...

and they did the job together beautifully...

Kayla...

Kayla has been around since the day she was born, living just 2 doors down from us...

just 6 months after Amanda...

This isn't a great picture but you sure get the idea how close these girls have been

for such a long time

They were there for her every step of the way on this journey...

Amanda, Colleen & Kayla

Kayla, Amanda & Colleen

Haven't they turned into beautiful young ladies!

Kayla holding her hand and I am sure Colleen had the other hand!!

Betty Jo...

This is Amanda's new Sister-in-law Betty Jo

She has become not only a sister-in-law but a great best friend...

 an amazing one too.

Amanda is so lucky to have such a loving family to be part of...

Mary...

This little Flowergirl is her new niece, Betty Jo's daughter...

as if you couldn't already tell that...

She is the perfect image of her mother... 

and just as sweet.

When Amanda came along she was tiny

and when she finally could say Amanda's name she called her...

ANDA...

and it stuck!

Bethanie...

Bethanie... what do I say about Bethanie???

Well look at that smile, that is her daddy's smile..

and it is beautiful..

But her kind heart is diffidently her mothers...

She is as sweet as they come!

Bethanie has also been around since she was born, living just up the road.

Her father and Tom were best friends growing up as were Tom's mother and his mom.

Missy...

These two beauties have been around since Jr.High School and their cheer leading days...

two special girl for sure. I loved those Jr High and High School years...

Kids around here all the time, going to cheer competitions and just

hanging out having a great time... I could tell some stories for sure...

and I know they could..

But I wouldn't trade them for a Million Dollars!!!

 Dana...

I remember when these girls would come to the house at midnight with all the ingredients and say:

Momma Lynn make us some Vegetable Pizza! Out came the pans and away I went with everyone helping and of course they ate every bite!!! LOL THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!!

They all made beautiful Brides Maids and they had a great time doing it...

We laughed and we cried... and we drank a lot of wine over this last year.

What memories we will have...

I am so happy that Amanda has such great friends and new family... such amazing girls!!!

Now we need to all get together real soon and drink a little wine and just laugh and have a great time again...

They even have cute feet...

I am loving the pictures from the great photographer..

Thanks Sandra!
