Candace's Wedding! Yay for family time!!

A couple of weekends ago, Stan and I, along with the great majority of our extended family on my mom's side, had the privilege of traveling to Mount Vernon, IL (about an hour east of St. Louis), to see my cousin Candace get married! Her new hubby Ryan seems to be a great guy and we are all so happy for them!! Our family had a great time getting to spend time together.... We got to see lots of my cousins, my mom and 2 brothers, my brother's wife, all of my aunts and uncles on that side, and my Grandpa Agre. Stan got to meet 2 sets of aunts/uncles and cousins of mine that he hadn't met before. Fun!!

In addition to the wedding and getting to spend time with family, one big highlight was that my brother and his wife Paige announced what they are naming their son, who is due in January. MY (no John, not yours, MINE) nephew :) will be named William Paul Kiser. They will call him Will. I'm super happy about that!!! :) Love it. They're naming him after my Grandpa Agre (Oscar William Agre, Jr. -- he goes by Bill.), and Paige's Grandfather (Paul).

Anyway... I loved the whole weekend.... Stan and I shared a hotel room with my mom and my youngest brother, John... which was a blast.... except for when John snored. Which he did. Loudly. :-/ Ha ha.... It was so much fun though..... as you will see below. Pardon my SLEW of pictures.....

We got turned around and lost a whole hour in Saint Louis on our trip out there! Argh! But Stan did get this pic of the Arch as we drove by it....finally back on track after all the construction craziness.

Before the wedding: Grandpa and all the cousins... minus just a couple who couldn't be there.
