Our little flirt

Kalea met another one of her cousins this last weekend and she sure inherited the flirt gene!  The object of her affection shows up at the end of the video.  Enjoy!

My Big Sister's Wedding Festivities, part 2

As I promised, here is the second part of Sara and Adam's wedding.  This one is focused on the reception.  Sara did an excellent job decorating for the wedding.  She had so many DIY items that added to the beauty of the reception (and the ceremony).  Once I have her professional photos, I will have to share the pictures of what she made since I didn't have a chance to take any pictures of the items myself.

Adam and Sara as they were first introduced as Husband and Wife.

During their first dance.

The Head Table, and of course Colleen is making a goofy face again.

Here I am as I am giving my speech.  Now the procrastinator in me kicked in to high gear for my speech.  I was finalizing it up to about an hour before we had to be ready for pictures.  Luckily the only hiccup in the speech was in my use of the microphone as it cut out a few times.

Now this was completely unprovoked...Aydan and Forrest were both in the wedding and they ended up chasing each other all around the reception hall.  Here is Forrest leading Aydan off the dance floor.  I love this look he is giving.  Notice his cape is still on-he wore it the entire night and had a great time.

The Father-daughter dance to "Brown Eyed Girl."  I love this picture!

Aydan and Forrest danced along with Sara and Dad.  

They even hugged and took a bow at the end of the song!

Adam dancing with his mom Lucy.

After the normal wedding events, it was time to party!  The groomsmen and Adam all had super-hero shirts on underneath their dress-shirts so they got a little more comfortable as the night went on.  My Mom's side of the family having a good time.

Jacque's husband Matt and Pat 

Cousins on my Dad's side dancing the night away.

Supposedly Adam doesn't dance much, but he sure did have a good time on the dance floor!

Sara and Adam left under a shower of sparklers.  I am so happy for my sister and new brother-in-law!

My Big Sister's Wedding Festivities, part 1

Sara's wedding was a little over 3 weeks ago and it was a great weekend.  I have a lot of pictures to share so I am splitting this up into two posts.

Our cousin Jere came home from his deployment only about 2 weeks before the wedding, so luckily he was able to make it out for the special occasion.  Here he is hanging out with Kalea as we were loading up the cars to drive down to Temecula.

We had the rehearsal the day before the wedding and I just love this picture.  Colleen is on the left making one of her usual faces and Heather is standing in for Jacque on the right with a wonderful look on her face.

Kristin, Katie, and I 

Adam made quite a few faces during the rehearsal, he was having a great time!

John making one of his many faces, Pat with Kalea and Danny during the rehearsal.

Adam's mom Lucy, Jere's fiance Kate, Aunt Carol, and Gma hanging out while we practice the wedding.

The Rehearsal Lunch crowd.

Sara with my parents

I love her guest book.  She ordered it on Etsy and it is so cute!  

Our cousin Katie's son Forrest was the ring bearer and my mom made him a super-hero cape...he loved it!

Kalea and Sara taking a picture break during the wedding day prep.

Unlike at my brother's wedding, Kalea managed to take a pretty good nap before the festivities began.

Jere escorted Gma down the aisle in his dress blues.  Now that I am going through these pictures, I see that our family sure does like to make funny faces when taking pictures!

Our Dad walking his first born down the aisle

Adam waiting for his bride-to-be.  Notice the flower ball hanging behind him, my sister made those and they turned out so pretty.  There were supposed to be 9 of them hanging from the gazebo, but the site didn't have a ladder tall enough so they had to put some of them on the steps.  It still looked pretty though.

Colleen, Jacque, Kristin, Katie, and me all lined up during the ceremony.

Forrest relaxing on the steps eating his popcorn during the ceremony.

They are almost married!

Getting ready to take formal group pictures after the ceremony...it was pretty cold that night!

Thanks to my Uncle David for taking the pictures during the ceremony, and a lot of the reception ones still to come.  The next post will be from the reception...  there are some really cute ones of Aydan and Forrest on the dance floor!
