Wally's Wedding Weekend

This past weekend, Pat, Olivia, and I flew to the Quad Cities in Iowa/Illinois for Pat's friend Wally's wedding. We had to leave the house by 4AM to the airport. When we woke Olivia up, I think she was a little excited thinking that we finally got it and were going to stay awake with her. Little did she know it was a one time deal! We were a little nervous flying with her for the first time, but didn't take long on the plane to realize they are much easier at this age! She did so well and slept most of it and just lied there and smiled the rest of the time.
Also there for the weekend/wedding was Pat's mom Kathee; his brother Joe and wife Jayna, their 2 kids Gwen & Kate; his brother Bill and her daughter Lilly (Meagan couldn't make it because of work); and his sister Michaela and her daughter Chloe (Andy was deer hunting-congrats on getting your deer!) We had so much fun seeing everybody and glad they got to meet Olivia.
The wedding was very nice and elegant. Pat was a groomsman in the wedding and really enjoyed being a part of it. Wally and Linda-Congrats Again!
Olivia's first flight leaving Albuquerque. She sat on our lap the whole time, which worked out real well.
Olivia's first dip in the pool with cousins Chloe and Gwen. She looked so adorable in her bikini with all her rolls!
Pat with Olivia-she loved the water! She had her little feet just a kicking around.
Jayna, Joe, Michaela, Pat, Bill, and I at the wedding reception. What a sharp looking group!

Pat, Olivia, and I at the dance. We left a little early-the band was excellent but a little loud for her little ears.

On Sunday while everybody was getting ready to head out, we actually got all the grandkids there to sit for a picture. I think Lilly is going to be the comedian of the group!
