Spring/Summer Lovin'

In May, Aaron's brother Danner, was married to the most darling girl, Kelsi.  They were married in the Seattle Temple and we were able to go celebrate the festivities with friends and family.  Let me tell you, it was ONE BIG PARTY!  It was a smashing good time for all in attendance.  It was a great excuse to have a HUGE family reunion with cousins and family we haven't seen in a while.  Lets just say there was a lot of dancing, craziness, chocolate covered strawberry eating, and plenty of talking and catching up during the reception.  The day was perfect, full of love, laughs and GREAT memories.  Congrats to
one of the cutest couples I know!


 Boy cousins...so happy!
 The "littles" wedding party
 All the siblings...
 Baby Russ got to be at the wedding when he was just 2 weeks old!
 Our attempt at the grandchildren pics...
 As you can tell, the babies were THRILLED.
 Had to keep ourselves busy between the wedding and reception,  Aaron and Miki...
 These girl cousins were inseparable all day, and having the time of their lives.
 Wes took this pic, but I thought it was too cute NOT to throw in.


Switching locations...here is Colton at Syd's recorder concert.
 Sydnie had a solo at her recorder concert.  She did GREAT!
 The proud dad, after the concert.
Aaron also had a Birthday in between here, but sadly, no pics.  Happy B-day Studly!
3 men in a tub
 We have been fishing a lot with dad/Aaron on the Coeur d'Alene river.  It's beautiful country, complete with butterflies, fish, and lots of rocks to throw in the river.
 The avid fisherman.  He sure is cute!
 Lazy summer morning of playing games on the phones...
 Coco had a Birthday!  Happy 2nd lil' dude!
 Dirty faced Coco, showing that he is, in fact 2 years old!
I also wanted to add (because I have no pics) my friend had a baby (homebirth) and invited me over to witness the birth.  She had him in a birth pool.  It was fascinating and incredible, and such a spiritual experience.  Welcome to the world baby Ezra!
