Its Wedding Season [First Road Trip]

Its Wedding Season and, boy, do I love a good wedding. We hardly dress up fancy anymore because we work at very casual work places, so any excuse to dress up.. we are there! 

First up - The Huspen's Wedding! Lizzie looked absolutely gorgeous and Anthony looked so handsome. Lizzie would be considered my sister in law...law. She is Meredith's (my sister in law) sister. It was in Murfreesboro which was nice because it made for Murdock family affair. GiGi, Papa, Morgan, Meredith, Jeremy, Cody, Ashley.. the whole gang was there! It was an outdoor event in the backyard of her parents house. Being the end of September, the weather could have been miserably hot or cool (welcome to the South), but it was perfect! Great food, great weather, GREAT company! 

Emma, you looked adorably cute and Grammy was so happy you wore the tights and shoes she gave you. Always fashionable, of course!

Your handsome daddy. Love!
This past weekend, was your first road trip to Memphis. Up until now the longest car ride has been to Murfreesboro, which is a short hour away, so 3 hours to Memphis.. here goes nothing! Emma... another proud Mama moment... you did great! You slept majority of the time and when you woke, we played with your giraffe, duck, birdie, and zebra. You loved it! 

We drove up Saturday morning during your nap time. We arrived at Grandma Hammer's house around 11ish and you were ready to eat! You played for a little bit and visited with family but then it was time for the adults to eat. Back in the car seat. We went to Memphis Pizza Cafe.. all 10 of us! It was delicious! 
You LOVE Bink.. and so do I!
It was time to get ready for the wedding once we got back from lunch, so you played with your daddy and PawPaw while Grammy and I got dolled up. We dressed you up in this adorable baby blue dress with bloomers and your fancy shoes (entire outfit was from Grammy!). You were wedding ready... 

The Dotson's Wedding was peacock themed and so so cute! I loved all the bold colors and glitz of it all. Hollye (my cousin) looked so pretty! Her dress was exactly what I pictured, fit her perfectly! You were great for the wedding ceremony but didn't want any part of the reception. The reception was at Germantown Country Club, which was really nice and big, but you were done for the day. 
The only picture I got all night #momfail. BUT I'll take it. How cute is this?
It was a longgg day for a 15 week old. Overstimulated and ready to go "home". We got back around 9 (still pretty late). You were exhausted! You fell asleep in your pack n play and were out for the night. Your dad and I thought for sure you would wake up and to our (and everyone else) surprise, you slept through the night. AND woke up late, 7:20a! Someone was tired! 

Sunday was here and we originally planned on going to the Memphis Zoo, but there was a 50%-60% of rain and we didn't want to risk it so we just hung out with the family instead. Cue picture taking!

Very special moment. Great Grandma, Grammy, Mama, and You!
Cheetah baby!
You got your morning nap, we went to lunch.. all 10 of us (again!) and we were on the road (again!).You slept THE WHOLE WAY home! So sleepy! 

Me and your daddy are so proud of you. You have been to TWO weddings, traveled to Memphis, and you aren't even 4 months yet! You are truly a little sweetheart and a very entertaining one... Ha!

We love you, little Miss. You have completed our little family!
