In October, we went to Colorado for Uncle Eric's wedding! With Eve and Andrew in school, it was a quick trip! We drove out Thursday, October 5th (Andrew and Eve both left school a little early...) which gave us Friday to play!
We were all so excited to meet Logan!!
And play outside!
Chair spinning :)
Kelly and Lance got in Thursday evening as well, and our families shared a rental house up in Erie, about 20 mins from our parents' house. Grandpa was kind enough to grace us with waffles on Friday morning, though!
More Logan time! We were kind of obsessed....
Lots and lots of play time with cousins on Friday!
Including a quick visit to the park.
And Grandma bough play dough for everyone!
Daryn was very proud of her triangle!
These two girls aren't quite as easy to confuse as they were when they were tiny! It's the hair.....
Saturday morning, October 7th, was the wedding!
Asher and Jarret were looking dapper!
Poor Halle was feeling miserably sick (including throwing up) so Andrew sat way in the back with her and her throw up bowl. I didn't dare put her in her wedding outfit until just before pictures - to be safe!
The ceremony was very sweet, and thankfully short! Lots of little nieces and nephews who have a hard time holding still!
Free to roam!
Afterwards, we headed to a nearby park for pictures - it was windy!
I took quick family pictures for Merrill and Jamie - aren't they a good looking group??
Then it was our turn. This was the best we could do. Miserable Halle and inconsolable Cora with blankie to attempt to soothe her...
All the cousins were in attendance and dressed so nicely!
14 grand kids with some proud grandparents!
Think Eric and Cassidy are ready for a big family???
Andrew didn't understand why I even bothered trying to get pictures of our girls. Hey, even if it's not pretty, it captures how the day really went :)
Lots of tears!
After pictures, there was a luncheon back at the church then we had a few hours to kill until the reception. So out of nice clothes and play time!
Some of my mom's family were able to attend including Grandma and James, Uncle Phil, Aunt Alicia, Michael, and Uncle Reid. We were so glad to see them!
The kids were eager to help Grandpa pick his huge pumpkins!
Cut off the vine, roll to the wagon, and lift in!
Maddie's going to be a tether ball champ!
The play fort's still going strong, 25-ish years later! Don't get used to being behind bars, Abigail!
Cora LOVED the swing, as always!
Especially when Aunt Alicia pushed her!
Abigail did too!
Some of the Fullers came from Utah and my girls were so excited to see my cousin, Gary (or "Dary" as Abigail calls him). They remembered him well from Uncle Evan's wedding. He helped Eve climb to the tip top of the play fort! (Side note, a couple of weeks after this wedding, we had stake conference back in Lubbock. We were on metal chairs in the gym and most of the lights were dimmed. There was a section at the back of the gym that didn't have chairs and Abigail kept asking where my cousin was and if she could go dance back there. She thought it was another wedding reception!)
You can see why she was confused....
We had quite the group at our table! The Baldwins came and so did Natasha and Kohn!
Mom and Eric danced to "Stayin' Alive" - best part of the night!
Halle was not doing well. :(
Eve was a little shy about doing the dollar dance with Uncle Eric, but finally gave it a try! I let the girls skip their braces for the evening and Eve was loving being barefoot.
Halle fell asleep. She also spent part of the evening on the foyer couches with Daddy.
Eve and Hannah (Baldwin) were excited for the cake cutting!
Things got a little wild and the girls couldn't believe it!!
It was late by the time we got back to the rental house and got the girls in bed. The house was the weird 5 story, split level thing and with Halle being sick we didn't want to leave her alone. So Andrew slept on the very bottom floor with Eve and Halle while I was on the top floor with Cora and Abigail. Not the most restful trip we've ever had, but it was only a couple of days. Sunday morning, we headed back to Lubbock! Congrats to Eric and Cassidy!
