Justin and Erin LeGrand





















First off I want to congratulate Justin and Erin on their wedding! I am so happy for them and I'm so lucky to have been a part of their big day. We love you guys and wish you both many years of happiness.
The wedding festivities started off on Friday. Thanks to having an 18-month-old, we were 30 minutes late to the rehearsal. Thank you Christine for letting me know what I was supposed to do. Then, we went to Erin's family farm for the rehearsal dinner hosted by the LeGrands. It was awesome. There were probably 150 + people there. I had the best lemonade beverage ever! It was great to catch up with old friends and Justin's friends as well. Jonathan made a friend. Actually, I think he might have fallen for a girl. Jay and Jenn watch out. I'm working on an arranged marriage here. I love Jaydee!!!! Jay had them prepared with a red wagon and an ipad to watch movies on. Great idea and an awesome babysitter! All the toasts were great and funny. Then Christine started hers. Hers was funny, heartfelt, and everything you want in a toast! Made my whole family cry. Christine's heart is just huge and her personality, well, it's the best!
Saturday, it was the wedding day! Yay! We went shopping in Evansville, IN and then it was time to get ready for the wedding. We were the first ones down in the lobby to get on the bus. Amazing! My parents and I are always late, so Travis was just amazed by us and our timing! Seeing Justin get married was amazing to me. He deserves the very best and I feel like he has found that in Erin. She has the best personality, she's funny and witty like Justin maybe even more so, and she loves him and his family.
Justin, since my freshman year in high school has been my rock! We've been best friends through thick and thin. When the LeGrands moved to Greenville, SC, Justin had a room at our house to come home to. My parents loved him as a son and he was like the brother I never had. We fought about his messiness and me not wanting to clean up after him, my dad lied to the Dish Network guy and told him we were a married couple living in their basement together, he cussed my mom out in a drunken stupor and we've never let him live that one down. Probably one of the funniest things I've ever witnessed in my life. Needless to say, we've had our share of adventures together. He's had girlfriends, but not until Erin came along did I know he was with the right person for him. She makes him happy and makes him a better person too. They compliment each other. I am happy to say that I love Erin and know they will have a lifetime of happiness and wonderful memories! Not to mention a lifetime of hysterical moments.
Best Wishes Erin and Justin!

Our Lives With Jonathan

Jonathan turned 18 months old yesterday. Where does the time go? We have loved every minute of these 18 months with our little man. He is perfect! Just kidding! He's perfect to us, but he's definitely our wild little man. Even his teacher says he's the most active little boy she's ever had. The only time he's still is when you give him paint and then it ends up all over him.












He has grown up so much. He is saying so much and playing like a wild man. He loves to play and throw balls, loves playing with other children. The people he calls for the most are: Abu (my dad), Mia (my mom), As-ley (His aunt Ashley), Ay(Ayden, our nephew), Pawpaw (Phil), Ale (Alex, my godson), I-i-to (Kikito, my grandfather), Am (Gammy- Travis' mom), Bai-ley (Bailey, our dog), Ari (Misa and Charley's little girl), Addie (one of his teachers), Norma (His Teacher), and Idalia (the lady who cleans our house). It's so cute.


He blows kisses all the time. He already has opinions about what I put on him. The other day he yelled at me, because he didn't like the "papos" (shoes in Spanish are Zapatos) I was putting on him.


Jennifer and Brian had their baby Brooklyn on the 16th. She's perfection!!! Jonathan loves Jenn so much. He was so scared when he saw her in the hospital. All he could do was give her kisses and blow kisses to make sure she felt better. I can't wait until Jenn gets to take Brooklyn home with her, so Jonathan can start protecting his girlfriend. We are so unbelievably happy for the three of them and the start of their new adventure.
