freddie, rex, and freddie's mom enjoying a saturday afternoon grill out.
jeffry lee chatting it up with diana.
over at my parent's trailer we sat and talked a bit more. jeffry lee's shirt? i figure its best not to ask. i'm guessing he may have thought that this was the other kind of trailer park...
rex and freddie enjoying the afternoon.
at fridays with aaron, rex, max, jeffry lee, freddie, and jordan.
another cute picture of diana with straight hair.
giving tweets and bubba pushes to get them started on the swings.
she wants to go down the slide, but isn't quite so sure she wants to let go at the top...
bubba creeping around the gym set.
all the way at the top- he's king of the world!
wow! this is one of the most beautiful pictures i've ever seen of diana! aves looks adorable too!
bubba thought i needed a zurburt!
another cute picture of diana and aves, they are ready for a cart ride!
tweets and bubba on the back, ready to take a little ride around sandy pines.
gloria's boys digging into their candy reserves!
by the end of the night everyone got on the dance floor- myself included!
rockin out!
when the girls get in a dancing circle, its best to just let them go!
jordan and jonathen had a table set up at the reception with tons of different types of candy! we each had a container by our plates to fill up with the candy.
gloria's boys sat by us with clipton. i figured they would definately enjoy the candy table, so with clipton's permission, i brought the boys over to the table in order to give them as many cavities as possible!
i was trying to get a picture of everything, but with the flash it decided to only focus on the table center pieces. they look lovely thought.
a better shot of the whole place, but still a bit blurry.
after the ceremony jordan and jonathen walked out amid the bubbles to a classic car waiting for them.
i thought the wedding was at three and i was going to be cutting it close, but it turned out to start at 3:30pm, so i was actually quite a bit early. always a good thing when you dont know anyone at all at the wedding...
everyone at the front during the ceremony.
diana looked really great in the bridesmaids dress she had to wear.
she had her hair done up really cute- she looked like a little curly haired pixie!
diana, with her cute new short haircut!
the dinner was at a nice italian place in elkhart, the food was really great- pizza and meatballs, how cant you have a great time!
for a bridesmaid gift diana got a cool necklace and some matching earings.
diana and i at the table.
diana's friend, gloria, who is also a bridesmaid, and her boyfriend clipton.

the padding family!
my cousin kim, aunt carol, and tami
talking with my uncle rich, aunt vicki, and cousin kim.
my cousin misty is quite the photographer! she has a really nice camera and a great eye for photos. here are some of the great pictures she took!
tweets and aves enjoying some outdoor time!
diana and i.
my parents and uncles and aunts. the first time they had all been together since the passing of their mother.
diana and i had to go to the dmv to get her car indiana plates. we were fearing that this would take forever to do and would fill up the whole night- it actually ended up taking about ten minutes! and the people who work there are really nice! who knew?!?
the whole brink family: diana, me, and little poco!
one of the unfortunate things about my place is that i don't have a washer and dryer. that means almost weekly trips to the laundry mat. it goes pretty quickly when we go together, so its not as bad as i would have thought.
hello!
in preperation for school, diana needed some school supplies- i'm a pro at that! i've been getting school supplies every year since first grade!
diana enjoyed looking through all the fun stuff in her student supplies bags!
one of the things in the bags was a hand for doing nails- diana decided to put it up her sleeve and use it has her own hand! who says she and i arent a perfect match?
her first week and she already has homework!
another night of homework, this time she got more comfortable on the couch.
