Texas Trip.

The first week-end in September our family drove down to Texas to attend our cousin Preston's wedding! We were thrilled to spend time with Dad's three siblings and our cousins. We left Thursday night and broke up the 9 hour drive be staying with Aunt MaJana in Oklahoma City for a few hours over night. Friday morning we were up at driving again at 8:30 and we arrived in the Dallas area around noon.

Silas was the ring-bearer at the wedding and he was simply elated to be involved! He wore a tux to the wedding and he absolutely loved it. He was extremely sad to take it off that night!!

Sleeping...

And more sleeping.......
Scenery.

--Smiling Sisters--
"I love 'vesteses' and shoes."

Silas was totally thrilled with his tux.
How many people does it take to get him ready?

Trying to look grownup (just too cute!!!)!!
Totally adorable!

Helping prepare for the rehearsal dinner.
Quite the dramatic exit!!

Shawn started getting good use out of his gun right away!
Siblings.

Here he comes!!
Here comes the Bride.
Right after they sat down, the flower girl dropped her basket, which was still full of petals (she only dropped 3 petals on the aisle on the way in!!)! She didn't notice, but Silas did! He was shocked, so gently patted her arm until she realized......and instantly got down to start picking up all the petals. She got every single one, and put them back in her basket!
The Vows.
"Hi Dad!"
The Unity Candle.


Mr. & Mrs. Preston Ulmer!
A little bit tired.
"Shhhhhh"

"Hmm....this bench has holes in it!"

They both did a great job sitting still, but they found things to distract them. :)

Headed out!

The first again! ;) Thank you SO MUCH Elizabeth for all the GREAT pictures!! They are all wonderful! I'm assuming you used your new camera??

I kept thinking of comments for different pictures, but by the time I finally got to the end of the post, I'd forgotten almost all of them! First of all, I don't think it's just Klahns who sleep w/ their mouths open . . . . . Secondly, Silas looked absolutely ADORABLE in his tux! I mean, he's adorable anyways, but he looked so cute all dressed up! Thirdly, I LOVE the picture of you and Tabitha in the bus. You're so beautiful, Elizabeth! (and Tabitha too!) Lastly, it looks like you had a wonderful time with all your relatives!

I miss you sooooo much, Elizabeth! (and the rest of the family, too!) I love you!

Silas is too adorable! And the story about him letting the flower girl know she dropped her flowers is hilarious! :)
I am so happy that you got your camera in time, Elizabeth!

About the first few photos - Ulmer guys are good at sleeping and Ulmer girls are good at smiling for cute pictures. haha.

Awww...Silas was the perfect little man!! The ceremony pics of him amusing himself on the bench are too cute, as is the flower girl story! What good memories you all made.

And yeah, is that a new camera? Cause I'm seeing a difference...and it's good. ;)
