Claire goes to her 1st Mama Mia !!

OMG we had an absolute blast last night at The Orpheum watching Mama Mia for the last show of the season!  Of course it's one of my favorites and we had an absolute hoot of a time!  The cast and everything was wonderful in every way!!

Ready to dance and sing...and we did!!!

 

Claire makes it to the TN Tournament of Champions at Belle Meade CC

Well, Claire found out last week her standings in the state of TN were high enough for her to be one of the 15 girls in the TN Tournament of Champions this Tuesday and Wednesday!  Claire is not used to carrying her bags, in the rain, and did not have the best rounds.  However, she still did well and was in the middle of the pack!  She loved the Belle Meade area and of course the Green Hills Mall did not disappoint!  I loved all the architecture of that old club and all the landscaping.  I can say that I have never seen so many hydrangeas in my life....it was beautitul!! This was Claire's last travel tournament...one more to go...the Memphis Ladies Ametuer.  It's the first time she qualifies for a Ladies' event (now that she's 18!)  Go Claire go!!!

Jesse Gets Married!!!! We gain a daughter!

 

It was a perfect UNhumid and not hot July day in Memphis and Jesse and his fiance and girlfriend of 6 years tied the knot at St. Michael's Catholic Church.  These pictures are just a dusting of what is to come, but enjoy.....and totally out of order.  

At the reception....and trying not to throw up knowing I had to dance with Jesse in front of almost 300 people....

Escorted down the isle by Lance!

My heart was breaking with jesse walking me down the isle and I just tried to keep it tother....I did my best.....

Emily was a stunner walking in with her dad Pat...

I alsmot yelled at Jesse for dipping her down the isle!!  But de did not drop her!

Ready for the reception!

And this would be why I was nervous about dancing with Jesse!

But oh did we have fun!  I had fabulous shoes for the ceremony, but changed into my flip flots for the dance with Jesse!

My mom, Aunt Linda, and one of their oldest girlfriends Mrs Brenda!

Aunt Cathie and Uncle Charlie traveled from Florida for the Wedding!
