we actually celebrated our anniversary last weekend because we are going camping this weekend. we left miss evie with brian's parents and headed over the pass to suttle lake for dinner. it was a perfect afternoon to be in central oregon at the lake. we had an amazing dinner at suttle lake on the boat dock. after dinner we sat on the dock and dipped our feet in the water. it felt good to have a few hours to spend alone with each other, but we were also excited to get back and cuddle with our sweetpea. :) on the way home we noticed there was a full moon, totally reminded us of our wedding night. thanks again sweetie for a great summer evening together!

newlyweds!!!

chad and ashley arrived home tonight from their amazing honeymoon. they went to an all inclusive resort just south of Cancun Mexico...i can't wait to see pictures and hear about all their adventures. chad and ashley's wedding was absolutely perfect! they both worked super hard planning and preparing their wedding, i think it turned out just how they planned.

the venue was gorgeous, brian's parents hosted chad and ashely's wedding in their yard on the river. they did so much work to their yard, it looked amazing! the red car is chad's car from high school....and the end of the wedding the dukes of hazard song played and chad spun a cookie in the yard as they excited the wedding! it was a prefect ending to a very magical evening.

the flowers along the river bank that tony grew in her greenhouse...so pretty!

makenzie (my niece) was a junior bridesmaid, she is too old to be a flower girl anymore. :)

miss evelyn and tyler (my nephew) danced it up on the dance floor, they were so funny to watch!

(click on this picture and look at evie's face...i think she is excited!)

on the dance floor with deer of course!

tony made evelyn's dress, isn't it cute, i absolutely loved it!

first dance as husband and wife...

mom and son dance...

i was disappointed i didn't take more pictures at the wedding, but i was just busy making sure everything was going as planned. i'm hoping the photographer will post some pics soon, i will attach the link when she does. there was so many great details i didn't get pictures of and i'm excited to share them with you all.

amanda (my sister-in-law), jeff (brother-in-law) and i hosted rehearsal dinner at chad and ashley's house. i think we were expecting around 50 people, so we had our work cut out for us. but it went perfect, it fact i think jeff is ready to open his own catering business! :)

Awww...weddings and lovebirds!

the last two weekends have been super busy celebrating two very special couples. the first being the wedding of adam and nicole and the second was the wedding of my brother-in-law chad and my new sister-in-law ashley! yeah for weddings and lovebirds....we love celebrating! especially with lots of our closest friends and family. here are a few pics from adam and nicole's big day.

nicole with her dad...

she was such an elegant bride, i absolutely LOVED her dress....it was such a perfect fit for her!

the first kiss...

gorgeous couple!!!

adam gave all the guys black converse at rehearsal dinner to wear with their suits, i would have to say they all looked super hot in them!

brian looking good in his tux!

the wedding colors were bright green, black and white...the tables looked very classy!

the cake was amazing...the flowers were even eatable!

miss evie in her very cute vintage pillow case dress from my friend jamie. she looked sooo cute in it, i wish i would have got a better picture. brian's parents were at the wedding as well, and they took care of the little miss while we were celebrating, they even took her home for her bedtime. we are so lucky to have such great grandparents that live so close...thank you paul & tony!

brandi, katie, lucy, and me...

the head table was lots of fun with all of our friends...

aww...brandi and scott!

this handsome couple is getting married in september...we can't wait, they are sooo in love, which is so sweet to see

colton and lucy...

colton and his brother logan were co-bestmen...the both did awesome on there speeches! coltons was a list that he put together of why it is "cool" to be a cooley (the bride's new last name). logans was a little more serious and totally brought tears to my eyes! i think their mama was proud of her three boys that night!

getting a little messy with the cake...

a sweet kiss!
