Cody & Erin's Wedding

Cody & Erin's wedding was a very hectic day for our family! But, I was so glad the kids got to be a part of their special day. I was quite surprised that the kids all happily made it down the aisle, without hesitation. They were also fairly cooperative for pictures- yeah! On the drive to the reception they all napped so they ended up having lots of fun coloring, spending time with cousins, and dancing at the reception.

I think the funniest moment of the day was courtesy of Faith. Before the wedding I was helping my sister with pictures. (She was the official photographer for the wedding-and did an amazing job!) Anyway, Josie came and asked me if I had extra clothes for Faith as she had a potty accident. I headed down to the cry room where my dad & Jeremy were watching our children. I walked in and they were chatting away. I asked where Faith was I thought she had an accident. Well, there she was still in her dress with no panties on. They had no idea. Upon further investigation I found Jake cleaning up a wet spot at the front of the church! Apparently the girls had been running out of the cry room back and forth to the hall burning off extra energy. No one knew they were going in the nearby sanctuary. Faith had an accident right about where my brother would stand just hours later. Just mere inches from the brand new white aisle runner all ready to go for the wedding. I didn't know wether to panic or laugh my head off. We got it cleaned up and no one was the wiser...2 funny.

My camera was on loan for the day to Josie so I just have limited pics, but here are a few of my favorites. I was super disappointed I didn't get a family picture or any with just Grace, Faith, & Titus. Erin was a gorgeous bride and my sister got some amazing pictures of her & my brother.

This is the unity candle I made for the wedding:

Even though the day was hectic it was a lot of fun too. I am very excited to have a new sister added to our family.

Wedding Rehearsal

The rehearsal for Cody's wedding went great. Titus loved riding in his wagon and Grace took her job of wheeling him down the aisle very seriously. Her biggest concern was him stealing her flower petals from her basket that sat in front of him. We walked through everything a couple times and I was hopeful that they would do it again the next day for the wedding. I was excited we got a new family picture as I had picked out coordinating outfits for us to wear.
The girls had new outfits from Papa & Gramy to wear and they were excited to match Uncle Cody with his purple shirt & tie. They were also excited about their gifts matching bags that said flower girl with wedding themed coloring & story books.

Uncle Cody & Aunt Erin,

Thank you for including us in your big day. We loved having a special job!

Love,

Grace, Faith & Titus

My Imagination Movers

The girls have such a great imagination and I love seeing what they come up with! Recently we bought a shop vac and Jeremy decided to turn the box into a house for the girls to play in. It started a small house made of one box. The girls added the flag to give it a clubhouse look. Then we purchased two new air cleaners so we had more boxes. So.....one night after the kids were in bed we turned their clubhouse into this. (with a little help from duct tape)
It had a little cubbie where they made a doll bed and we added this light as a "chandelier."
They are really into the "club house" concept. One afternoon while Jeremy was working in the back yard they turned the back of daddy's truck into a clubhouse.
They worked hard to organize and clean their little "house."

I love the creative mind of a child!
