Wedding in Jacksonville

In May the girls headed to Jacksonville for J.P. and Amy's wedding.  Jenneth and Molly were the flower girls and Connor was the Ring Bearer.  Thank you Lunney's for a Wonderful weekend and we can't wait to see you in July !!!

After a day and a half on the road....Cousin time in the the pool.  Connor, Molly, and Jenneth are all 5 and within 6 months of each other.  Take a look a the smiles on the kids....Thanks Honey Lunney....they all have your smile.

Not a great picture...but had to capture what the kids did over and over and over and over...

Mommy and her Baby Girl

These two partners in crime, thought no one saw them in the corner sharing Fruit Loops.

I know...hold yourself back !!!!  Beach beauties.

Nana in her Element....The BEACH !!!!!

Check it out.  Devin made the Blog !!!

Sizzlin Sisters.  Aunt Joyce is rocking the beach attire !!

SAND !!!

A little cousin picture

Connor...bury me !!!

Mission Completed

Aunt Joyce and Devin working it in the water.

AHHHHHHHHH  Running in the waves.

We wanted to put this Magnolia in the car and take it home to Brian....Sorry babe, it wouldn't fit.

Flower Girls heading into the Rehearsal Dinner.

Mommy and Me Cocktails !!!

There are those crazy sisters.  They look pretty fly after a day at the beach.

The Three Musketeers caught while making plans for something.  "who us?"

And next thing you know, they have turned Connor into a swing.  Seriously ????

Day 2 at the beach.  

Please note that Nana is down on her hands and knees working hard while the girls are running her water for their pool.  Don't ask...it kept them busy.

You can take the girls out of the Gym, but can't take the Gym out of the girls.  

Gurzynski's....think back to the Bay to Breakers house and I have two words for you.....'Honey Lunney"  Deja Vu???  Like Mother like Daughter???

As they pause for a picture a big wave came up and got them.  Nana's face is fantastic...never saw it coming.

Snack Time

We had to send in the big guns when the girls wouldn't get out of the ocean. Nana had to literally drag the girls out.

Amy and the girls before the wedding.

Flower Girls walking down the aisle 

That's my Pretty Girl.  She did such a great job.

Congratulations Amy and J.P. 

So after the ceremony we knew that Mom was responsible for the three kids.  We looked all over for them and I said to Warren.  "Wait, if my Mom is responsible for the kids, I bet you she has them at the bar."   Warren and I come around the corner and BINGO, there they are at the bar.  

Great Job Kids !!!

Aunt Joyce, Cha Cha (Uncle John) and Mom. Anyone see those dang smiles again??

The Gurzynski and Lunny gang.

Seriously you two.....what are ya'll up to now?????

The girls with Devin

It takes a wedding for all the cousins to come together.  Unfortunately we are missing our fierce leader.....My big Brother Donald.  We missed you, but he had some lame excuse like his 20th wedding anniversary and Lee's Graduation...Whatever.

Dance Time

Again, looking guilty of something

The girls teaching Connor the splits. They were such a hit.

Thanks Amy and J.P. for having us as such a large part of your Big Day !!!  We had a blast.

Jenneth and Nana wrapping up a great night, but they are tired and ready to head back to the hotel for bed.  

New Orleans

Let me start by saying Thank you Donald !!!  He had some pictures on his phone from our LSU visit.

This is one of the equipment rooms where the cleats are and then the helmets are to the right.  Above you see three of the gloves that the team uses on different occasions.  Super cool in person, as you can't really see the details.

This is the Locker Room in the Practice Facilities.  Tristen and Brian are by TZ's favorite player, #3.  The locker room at Tiger Stadium are completely different.

This is the indoor practice field.

This is the Team Briefing Room in where they have their team meeting before they break into special teams.  We saw the video that they show the recruits and I have to tell you...we were ready to sign !!!

This is the Lawton room where all the Football trophies are.  Behind Tristen is the National Championship one. 

So it only took a couple days, but Jenneth finally had a new best buddy...Uncle Donald.

The last night we were in Baton Rouge we went to this pizza place that had games for the kids...

And what would a trip be without shooting practice at Bass Pro Shops !!!  I have to say that Tristen, Jenneth, and I did not fair as well as the "locals"

So now to New Orleans !!!!  Cafe Du Monde and delicious Beignets.

This was Jenneth's reaction as she saw them delivered and ALL the powdered sugar.

Tristen on the other hand just got down to business.  Not sure that this picture does it's justice, but Tristen had powdered sugar everywhere !!!!  Take a look at him and the table.

This is Jackson Square with The Cathedral in the background.

Jenneth and I trying on some masks

Bourbon Street Baby !!!  Jenneth was really done with pictures by this time.

This was a great restaurant: The Camellia Grille which is this tiny place that had outstanding food and fantastic service.

Jenneth's # 1 to do on the trip was to take a Horse Carriage Tour.  So we did the longer one that took us to the St. Louis Cemetery Number One.  This is the tomb that Nicolas Cage bought...Seriously. 

This is one of the community tombs..

Nothing like a family photo in The Cemetery.

This is the second most visited tomb in the United States: second to Elvis Presley.  This is the tomb of Marie Laveau.  She was very popular as The Voodoo Queen but was a devote Catholic as well, which is amazing that she was allowed to be buried in the Catholic Cemetery.  You can see that people have written XXX on the tomb as well as offerings that you will see in front of the tomb.  It is said that if you leave her an offering with your wish, it shall be granted.

Here are the kids on the Carriage Ride.  They got to sit on the front row and loved it !!

This is Cash, our Mule.  He did a great job.

Brian did a lot of research and found this BBQ place, The Joint.  This is where the locals go and it might have had 6 tables in the entire place.  If you are in NOLA, it was worth the drive.  It's  just a few miles outside of downtown.

The kids at The Joint..

To end our vacation, we made one last stop in Memphis.  We went to opening night for The Memphis Red Birds.  What a great ballpark !!!

As with everything else we did on this trip...we ate.  They had Rendezvous Pork BBQ Nachos !!!!  Those of you that know Memphis, know Rendezvous and how great their BBQ is.  The most expensive Nachos at a ballpark, but worh it.

The Red Birds lost, but they had and awesome fireworks display at the end.  Made a perfect ending to a great night.
