Britney Dawn

Britney is the oldest of all of our children. She's 22 and has given us two grandchildren to date. After she graduated high school she decided to go to Pennsylvania and stay with her dad while she went to college. It was at college that she met Nick and over their spring break she brought him home to meet us. Shortly after their visit I got a phone call from Nick and he asked me for her hand. That was about three years ago.

Britney and Nick decided to get married by a judge on December 23rd, 2008 and they held their breaths hoping Britney would not end up in the hospital on that day. Adrianna cooperated and was 5 days old when we all went to the courthouse. She looks a little bored with it all doesn't she.

Looking out the window was about the only thing I could find to keep Tristan quiet while his mom and dad became wed. I asked him where the dog was and that kept him busy for a while. There was no dog, yeah I'm mean.

My little girl, my baby, all grown up. She is the first of our children to get married. They do plan on doing a ceremony next year.

It's official, they're Mr & Mrs Smith now. :)

Doesn't she look great to have just had a baby 5 days prior?!

  5. Congratulations! She is such a sweet baby (but boy am I glad to be out of the newborn stage - whew!). And, I had to giggle because I had that EXACT same little ducky sleeper.

  10. She does look remarkably good for just having birthed a baby 5 days before. *sigh*... my boys have birthdays on either side of hers. One on the 16th and one on the 22nd. And my oldest's girlfriend is the day before his (the 21st).

    Popular month I guess...

  18. May you always have such happies to share. What a gorgeous baby she is! Her face is so, so sweet...I sometimes forget how small they were when they first came into the world!

    I originally dropped by to congratulate you for being part of Mojo's first crop of blog award honorees. (I'm humbled to be in your company, btw.) I'm so glad I got this extra little surprise as well. Your work, simply, captivates me every time I visit.
