Part of the reason my dad came to Arkansas before the wedding was so that Jared could keep the car while we headed to Oklahoma City. Jared wasn't going to be able to come since he hadn't even been at his job for a month (granted they later made it sound like he could have come - oh well). So we headed to OKC on Saturday, and Maria's wedding was going to be on Monday. We had some fun times during those days of preparation, though there were important things that needed to be done, too.
Rachel likes men. She will warm up to women, but it takes longer than it does with men. This has been evident with Grandpa Bobbie, Jon (Maria's fiance - now husband), and a shoe salesman, among others. Rachel was very proud of herself for climbing up on the ottoman and then getting on the couch. She would then join everyone else, and often she would want to go to Jon. Once I asked Rachel if she was going to kiss Jon, and she got pretty close to doing it. It was pretty funny.

Uncle Monte was able to come for Maria's wedding. We were all so happy to see him. Allie ran to him when he walked in the door. All of his nieces love him, as can be seen in the picture below.
Breya is always a ham. This one makes me laugh. I love her!
A downtime with me, Monte, and Dad.
In preparation for the wedding, the kids helped Jon make the lemonade. It was delicious. It has blackberry syrup, fresh sage, and fresh blackberries. Allie was excited to help.
We went to church on Sunday. Here are Breya, Allie, and Rachel before church, all ready to go.
It's pretty obvious we cut Rachel's bangs in this next picture. Her squinty eyes and smile make me happy.
