Mud Day Fun Day!

Yes - today was MUD day! The girls had lots of fun... especially since it was at Emmett's house. Brynn's been waiting to go to Emmett's for a long time! 

Doing some mud painting...


Of course Brooklyn would hop right on in the mud pool! They were supposed to find hidden bugs at the bottom.

and they LOVED the water slide!

Brynn liked the monkey bars too

Brynn and Emmett! A fun day indeed.

Ready For A Good Laugh?!

So I experimented last night putting Brooklyn's hair in pigtails  - they look similar to handle bars, but they're still cute! Brynn was cracking up and wanted all of us in pigtails so I did it for her! My old hairstyle that I wore from the age of 3 until I finally told Grammy NO MORE!! :)

They're so silly! Here they're laughing because Brynn wouldn't stop making pig noises!

After that they showed off a little and performed their tricks for Daddy - they're pretty good with their form!

Future gymnasts in the making ???

Happy Father's Day!!!

We're so sorry that our Pop Pop & Papa don't actually have something to "open" on their special day today but to make up for it, the girls taped hearts all over the wall to show how much they love you... and Bryce and I worked up a sweat trying to get them to sit still, smile,cooperate - something! In the end, I think the girls won!

We love you THIS much! There's a couple hearts on their from Mommy & Daddy too!

OK - here are a few BLOOPERS for your enjoyment as well!

"Serious Mom?!?! - Enough!"

"I'm outta here!"

"Get Back Here!"

Mom & Dad have officially lost control

Check out that face on Brooklyn - she is NOT a happy camper to be back at the wall!

"Tada!!!" Happy Father's Day and we will be sending you both something very soon!!

Only the very best Dad's in the world can become a Pop Pop and Papa - and we're all SO LUCKY that we have you!! Have a wonderful day, we love you lots!

Also - enjoy all the new pictures on the blog. That should keep you both busy today!

Practicing For Her Wedding Day!

I couldn't share these pictures earlier, but back in May Brynn wanted to try on my dress. I'll definitely be sharing these pictures with her on her wedding day!

So cute!

Heading Home After a Fun & Exhausting Trip!

My bouquet from Allison & her Mom the day we left - it was so beautiful!

We did not want to wake the sleeping giant, but it was time to go. She was VERY comfortable sleeping in the big beds. It was a bit of a challenge to get her back in her crib!

Bye Auntie - We love you!!


Brooklyn walked the entire way from security to our gate!!

The second the girls shut their eyes, Bryce and I ordered a well deserved drink! We love you all and miss you so much - see you in September!! XOXO

Sneak Peak from our Photographer...



"Eat, Drink & Be Married!"

Around midnight the night before... I snuck out of our room to bring the dresses, makeup, decorations - everything we needed down to another room and us girls got busy wrapping, doing chalkboards and getting ready!

The chalkboards came out great - thanks Mare!

Wedding Day!

Aunt Marie arrived at 7am to do our hair and we were set with the champagne & oj...

I was getting the royal treatment!

Bryce's gifts

Mare and Mom - getting ready to take the gifts up to Bryce and give him some help with the girls...

Almost ready!

The most handsome ring bearer and one of our beautiful flower girls - they're ready!

Our another beautiful flower girl right before the wedding. We were running late and since I had a few last minute decorating things to do before we got married, the girls got lollipops! I wasn't thinking when I gave Brynn a blue one. She had blue teeth walking down the aisle!

The venue before the peeps came...


Here's Bryce! I think he's waiting for me!

Love how Jobie is covering his face!

I love you Mom!


Not sure why this picture is distorted on the blog - I still love it!

Mom & I

Me and the kids!

Time to get our dance on! Riley (Brynn's little friend) came all the way from AZ to spend our day with us - SO special!

Brooklyn getting in some Zzzzzz's

Keith stepped in and gave an awesome speech for us!

Cheers!

Col & Brynn didn't miss out on the cake!

Love this picture, it says it all.... Brooklyn trying to pull my dress off and Brynn swinging around like a monkey!

Friends forever!

Sisters are the best!

Grammy with 3 of her grandkids and Mare and I

After the reception, we headed to the hospital to surprise Dad. We not only surprised him, but  we brought smiles to the entire floor he was on! I would have MUCH rather have had Dad with us at the wedding, but this was a special experience not many people get to have. and Dad was famous at the hospital for the wedding!

The hospital put together a last minute ceremony in Dad's room for us. They even borrowed flowers from another patient for us to hold! So sweet.

The ceremony was even complete with cake! I love you so much Dad! Rest and get better because we're doing it again in September... you're not getting out of wearing a tux and doing our dance that easily!!! :-)

After the hospital we headed to Aunt Marcia's for some dinner. Jobie and Miss Brynn - they are too cute!

We're married!

Nana & Papa

The Minnesota clan! It was SO great to see all of you - thanks so much for making the trip!

Me with the cutest ring bearer around!! Love you Jobie!
