Brother Cyrus gets married!

I am sure a lot of you don't know that I have another "brother" named Cyrus.  He is my brother Byron's best friend and he lives with Byron down in Nashville.  He has been coming around for the last 10 years for Christmas' and Thankgivings' and so we have adopted him as our Brother Cyrus.  He got married this past weekend, so we all got together to help him celebrate!

The original Benbow girls.

 Bathroom Break...can you see the hot pink lipstick my sister forced on me?

 

 After party...

 A good time was had by all!!!!

A painful day:(((

Kellen had his tonsils taken out today.  He did really amazing and the nurses kept saying they have never seen anyone take it so well!  Here's to my little champ (and hopefully a lot more sleep for him)!

  

While Kellen was under the knife, Skylar was getting her braces and palate expander put on.  Her mouth is in a lot of pain now.  We will survive, but a couple of cranky kids for the next week or so!

Wedding day!

The kids really do clean up nice!  They were all so excited to dress up.  Here are the girls all ready to go have some pictures taken with the bride!

 Charlotta looking up at Gen, thinking you sure do look pretty.

 A very interesting hole...

 When one is in a pretty dress, one must twirl...
