Sugarloaf - Valarie's Birthday

This past weekend we went up to Sugarloaf to celebrate Val's birthday and to finally see the cabin that they purchased. As most know, I am not much of an outdoors kind of girl....I was not expecting it to be so cold!
We took the dogs with us to the cabin. They loved it. There were so many new places for Bailee to explore, and Layla was happy because she was getting lots of attention from the Delgado grandchildren. Craig and Val had dog proofed their yard for the dogs, but the Delgado's yard had spots where Bailee could escape. So after she made one attempt to run off and seek adventure, she was forced to stay on a leash the rest of the day. However, Layla is not a runner, and never tried to leave, so she got to roam freely.


This picture was taken at 3pm....yes that is right. I had that many clothes on in the afternoon! Josh was still wearing a short sleeve shirt and shorts. He never gets cold.



A group photo of the Liebel Family and the Delgado Family getting ready to take a tequilla shot. It seems that every time our families are together.....tequilla is a must.


Val opening all of her gifts. She got blankets, clothes, pictures, and lots of other stuff. Layla was by her side as she opened her gifts.

This was after gifts were opened. Shortly after this me, Josh, Jen, and Jerm all retreated to the cabin to stay warm. Meanwhile Craig and Val were partying it up (I guess the kids just can't hang)!

I had no idea it was going to be so cold, so I had only brought a tee shirt for Bailee to wear. We had to make an emergency trip into The Village shopping center and buy a new sweater for her so that she didn't freeze. Look how totally fashionable she is!

Wedding Pics!

We finally got all of our wedding pictures. It was amazing to see them all, and remember the day and how wonderful it was.

Gage, Craig, Josh, and Zach all before the ceremony. They got there earlier than the ladies (stupid limo driver), so they had some free time to pose for the camera.

Me and my sis in the bridal room while we were getting ready.

Me, my bridesmaids, and my flower girl in the bridal room.


Me and Gage as we are getting ready to walk down the aisle.


I think that Gage was trying to make me cry right here. He was saying some of the nicest and sweetest things to me, so I became emotional....and I was already emotional to begin with.
Me and Gage walking down the aisle. One of my favorite pictures. I love the way my dress looks from the back.

At this point, I was pretty sure I was going to throw up!


Once I saw Josh, my nerves calmed and the vomit feeling slowly went away.

Us at the alter, so happy to be there.

The hard part was done, and we were all smiles and very happy to be husband and wife!

Our wonderful bridal party.

The new complete Liebel family.


Josh with his new brother and sister-in-law.

Me with the best maid of honor EVER! I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have my sister with me for the wedding and the entire week before the wedding.

Me and my sibs!

Trying to get the bustle handled so that we can go into the reception. I had an American and a French bustly....it was very difficult.

Here we are as we enter the reception, very ready to get the party started!


My sister gave a very touching speech. She was in tears...I was in tears...and so were pretty much most of the guests. I knew she was going to make me cry.

Me and my sister. I don't get to see her often, so we are always so happy to be with each other.

Having a nice dance with my maid of honor.

My brother was amazing during the wedding. He walked me down the aisle, and helped to make my day complete.

Me and Gage dancing. So sweet!

Gage was trying to force me to take a shot, and in the end, he won. I took it.


All the girls when I tossed my bouquet.

All the guys during the garter toss. They all look pretty serious about it!


And the cake cutting. Some of Josh's co-workers were trying to get him to smash it in my face, but he was a nice husband and fed me with a fork....thank you Josh!
