Nanna to the rescue / Tanner's wedding

Dianna came to visit the first weekend of June. Keri and I were invited to Tanner's wedding rehearsal and wedding and we thought it was the perfect opportunity for Nanna to come stay with us.  We were able to spend some time together and Nanna also got to have some time alone with the kids. We're so thankful she could come! Dianna drove in Friday afternoon just in time for Keri and I to leave for the rehearsal dinner at Maggianno's.

Tyler, Trey, Tanner, and Keri at Maggiano's.  We had the best time visiting with all the Bailey family plus their extended family.  We drove back to our house Friday night and were exhausted from such a fun night!

Saturday we took a walk to the duck pond and the park to show Nanna around our neighborhood.  The kids took their bikes and we loved that Nanna could see where we spend our days.

Saturday we made a last minute decision to spend the night in Houston after the wedding.  We left the house around noon, met some friends for lunch, and drove to our hotel near the Galleria.  After a nap, shopping, and a quick swim in the rooftop pool it was time to get ready for the wedding.  Here we are all dressed up and on the shuttle to the wedding.  The wedding was in a beautiful Catholic cathedral.  It was a sweet ceremony.

After it was over we loaded back up on the shuttle to head to the River Oaks Country Club to eat and party!

This was really the most fun wedding I've ever attended.  There was an amazing band that played non stop from about 9-1am.  The songs varied from 60's music, to Journey covers, to current pop, country, and even rap!  All were perfect for dancing.  We stayed til the very end and had the best time dancing and chatting with the Bailey family.  What a fun celebration!

Meanwhile back at home the kids and Nanna played, read books, and Nanna even took all the kids to a birthday party.  She's super Nanna!

Keri and I had a great time on our little getaway but we were glad to be back to see our sweet kiddos!

We had a great wedding and are so grateful for Dianna's willingness to come down and wrangle the kids!  We love you Nanna!
