When I was a little girl, I had a soul mate sister...the kind that when you find you just can't live without! She lived on Luke Air force Base and I lived....well out in the stix....called Litchfield park at the time....White Tank Mountains...Now the luxurious "Verado" Michelle would stay at my house for a week, then I at hers. Our parents were good friends, Michelle an only child. So I became a second daughter and our lives were simple and happy. We would play in our muddy crappy duck pond, we would cover ourselves from head to toe in the thick rich gooey facial mask and Michelle who just got her ears pierced would go home with serious infection!
Any ways she moved away in fifth grade, every summer we would fly back and forth where ever in the world they lived..they were military. We grew up I got married, started having babies, she earned a few degrees I think, joined the reserves in the military, flew into war zones saving lives and worked in the Er all the while. She called last year with the news we have all been waiting for! Our Michelle aka the life size Barbie" by Audrey is getting married! We planned for a year and took a trip we will never forget!
The kids were so excited to finally take a trip on an airplane! After the first lay over the girls were not so sure they wanted to that again, Jake on the other had was ready for more action! Michelle loves my Dad so we tried to surprise her by bringing him along, but I am a horrible secret keeper and blew the fun. It was great papa time!
We started out the wedding celebration by having the grooms dinner on a boat, the kids were in hog heaven, the adults love it too.
A little boy's dream! A big boy's too for that matter!
My babaliciuos girlfriend on her wedding day! My girls love this life sized barbie doll!
Michelle and Dewey, the best Dad in the world aside from mine of coarse! We are thrilled that his health has proved to stay steady through this time in life!
The captains wheel, he sat back and propped his feet up on it most of the ride~
My Dad and his girls-
Papa and Michelle-
Michelle and Mom~
Maddy and mom~
Audrey and Mom~
Close ups are lots of fun~ That's how we check for boogies!
From the upper deck!
I loved watching my babies dance and fight, I don't really know which came first, but they were tired of me snapping so many picts, so I had to get out of sight for a while. They soon caught on to where I was so I did what any good mother would do, I took more pictures!
Papa gets the giggles sometimes, it is so funny to here him laugh uncontrolably, usually roller coasters do it, but a relaxing good time will set him off too!
My babies having Papa time, they had lots of fun with papa this weekend~
Jake makes an attempt at ordering from the bar, the bar tender doesn't quite see him so he scootches a bit closer~
We all giggled at him, he was ordering a water on the rocks, but he was so cute~
The man of my dreams~ The man of my reality~ Lucky, lucky girl~
Big momma pondering lifes deepest question..."Whats for dinner!"
Hey good looking, whatcha got cookin, howz about cookin something up for me~
I love, love, love this man...
I couldn't help this picture, I love the sight of an American flag waving in the air!
Our old beauty of a boat! She paddled us around the River all the day long, he even fed us delicious food through the journey!
This old cannon was so cool, along-side all the historic churches that are around the town,, we enjoyed the small town scene~
We got caught in the middle of a marathon trying to get to the salon, just one of life's little hiccups on your wedding day right~
The girls getting their hair done at the salon~
Nanette was Michelles bridesmaid~
Our pretty princess is just about ready~
This was the cool little salon we went to to have our hair done~
This is the oldest court house in Minnesota, it was really awesome to see all the old photos of past Presidents and the winding staircases that decprated the old court house~
Michelle has lived all over the world and in return has made many girlfriends. She is an awesome example of keeping in touch with those that cross your path in life. She had eight brides maids, and it was awesome to see them again and meet the ones I had not met before. We all felt like we had met before~
I picked up this strapping young lad along the way, he was walking in the hall and it was love at first sight.
The stair case that I love so much, there was two of them that joined in the middle in the main hall~
My Dad and Dewey haven't seen each other in twenty years, it was quite the reunion~
Introducing the newly weds Nick and Michelle Shobeck~
And they lived happily ever after!
Jake chillin out on the grass, it's been a really long day and the partying hasn't even began yet~
The ring bearer trying out his new suit in the grass~
The flower girl catches on and tries some sweet moves in her wedding get up
The flower girl loved the bubbles that were handed out~
The wedding party awaits the arrival of the bride and groom!
This is inside the hall of the courthouse, it was amazing~
I will never turn down a dance with my Dad, we don't get to do ot very often these days, so its a reall treat when the opportunity presents itself~
Vicki and Dewey parents of the bride! These hands have been through alot through the years and still hold on to each other~
