OR: Wedding

Jessica and Patrick got married on June 7. It was a gorgeous wedding, honestly one of the best ones I've been to. I can't claim to have gone to very many, but seriously this one was beautiful. My sister is an event planner, but her dream job is to be a wedding planner, so to be able to plan her own wedding was a dream for her. We are so happy for her, and to be able to be there with her and her family was amazing. There was so much attention to detail. I wish I'd been able to get better pictures, but I really didn't have the time for it. There were over 250 people there, it was a huge wedding!

Dessert was a pie bar. So many delicious pies! 

The guest book was really cute. People left their fingerprints on the tree. 

Jessica handmade so many things. The mason jars were for drinks and you could put your name on the tags. 

Kid Zone was a hit. Games, popcorn machine, milk and cookies, lemonade, etc. 

Jessica looked beautiful. I never got a decent picture with her girls or Patrick. Hard to take their attention away from guests and photographers. 

Kathryn & Bryan

Sidney danced for HOURS! Hours and hours!

I was never able to capture the scenery very well. Patrick is a farmer, and they live out in the country. The drive out there is beautiful. Green hills, rivers, wild flowers, and farms all over, I wouldn't mind living there.

Tanner danced a lot too. 

 

If it wasn't obvious, Jessica loves pink. They had a lot of fun with it. 



Tanner's First Haircut

I never thought I would be attached to baby curls. Tanner is our only baby to have them. They were so cute, but they were really getting out of control. I started to get really sad when Josh started buzzing them. Now it's been a couple of days, and I keep looking at him thinking, what have we done?! No more soft baby hair. He looks so much older and a little less chubby. We can't call him Curly anymore.

 

He sat there stone faced the entire time. 

He looked so sad, it just about broke my heart. It was right before bedtime though, he was tired.

He looks so old! 



Random Pictures

Tanner has been giving a lot of kisses lately. The funniest is when we're on FaceTime and he kisses the screen. Love this little boy.

 

Sidney and I became addicted to watching Cupcake Wars for a few days. We went through a phase of having our own Cupcake Wars. She would shout, "4 more minutes! Hurry, hurry!" And then a few minutes later, "Just 4 more minutes!" It has been fun to make cupcake deliveries to friends. The best ones so far were Cadbury cupcakes at Easter time, oh my goodness!

 

Quite possibly my favorite picture of Tanner to date. 

This boy LOVES balls! Any ball, any size. Obsessed.

Oh wait, maybe this is my favorite picture.

He won't stay off the table.

The kids played with this box for hours and hours. The babysitter told me at one point they were pretending it was a jack in the box and Tanner couldn't stop laughing.



Preschool Graduation

Sidney graduated from preschool! It's hard to believe she'll be entering Kindergarten in a few short months. The school did a short little ceremony. She absolutely loved preschool. I wish I could tell you more what she did all year, but almost every day without fail when I would pick her up and ask her what she did her answer would be, "Um, I don't remember." She is really sad that preschool is over.

We love Mrs. Julie, she was such an awesome teacher. 



Dance Recital

Sidney had her dance recital a couple weeks ago. Cute as always. She really is a good little dancer. Her movements are full of confidence and strength. She loves it.



Tannerisms

Before we put Tanner to bed we sit with him in his room and sing songs to him. Josh and I take turns. And if we aren't looking at him, he puts his little hand on our cheek to turn our face toward his. I can't stand how much I love it.

Tannerisms

Tanner walked into the room holding a wet diaper.

"Wait, where did you get that?"

He's fully clothed, but I'm pretty sure he couldn't have gotten it out of the trash. So I peek in his shorts.

Sure enough, no diaper. True talent.

We all witnessed it.
