Happy to be back in Colorado to help Amanda plan her 

wedding to Lee Daniel Waltrip
An afternoon at Davids Bridal ~ She said Yes to the Dress !

My beautiful daughters.  I'm a very happy Mom.

The Following photos are the Bridesmaids trying on dresses.

Since I am adding these photos after Amanda and Lee were married, 

I am also including one of Amanda in her fabulous wedding dress 

I am beyond HAPPY for my beautiful daughter.

Future Mother in Law, Bernadette, Matron of Honor Amelia,

Bridesmaids Holly, Heather and Lexie, with Amanda.

Kate joined in the fun via Skype! 

 Pretty Lexie trying on dresses with her grandmother, Bernadette
(And the dress looks beautiful in the Wedding Purple also.)
I love this sweet Photo!

John and I decided to take a drive on the Mesa to the

Mesa Lakes Lodge, where Amanda and Lee hope to 

have the wedding ceremony.

 We could clearly hear hikers traversing down the mountain
 across from where we were standing .

They made it all the way down
