Jake The Ringbearer

So Jake was the ring bearer. We all went into it knowing anything could happen. You know. Since he's two. I knew that he wouldn't make it all of the way, because when he is being told to go somewhere, he frequently stops, laughs, and runs the other way. Like so...




The flower girl did such a great job keeping him going. I had started out with him at the back and told him to "Go to Josh!", then ran down the room along the side of the chapel, jumped back out at the front, sticking my head out into the aisle to get him to go the rest of the way.
I felt bad because I didn't notice ahead of time that his shirttail was out. (Sad face.) I had been nearly wrestling him in the back of the church to keep him from running off and that's what happened. Oh well. He made it to the front and entertained everyone.

Josh Got Married!

My brother got married! This past Saturday, July 2nd, we welcomed a new member to our family. And her name is... Ashley. Hey! That's my name! Yes, her new married name was my maiden name.
Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the weekend. If you care to see more, you can look at my album on facebook about the event.

We took Jake to get his suit for ringbearing on Thursday.
He loved himself in it.

At the rehearsal dinner, the flower girl kept coming
down and entertaining Jake. It was really sweet.

(In case you were wondering how to get a two year old to instantly love a stranger... Get a picture of her. Put it in a CD case. Let him carry it around for a couple of weeks, constantly talking about our new friend. When he sees her, he will recognize her and love her right away. Totally works.)

Rehearsal. First time it's just been the four of us in a picture in forever and ever.

Wedding day. My main men all dressed up.

Keep cool and entertained, talking into the fan.

Just a little Risky Business (while his pants were being hemmed.)

The New Girl

The day after Thanksgiving, which happens to be Jon's and my six-year engage-iversary, my brother, Josh, proposed to his girlfriend, Ashley. Yes, my brother is marrying an Ashley. That means her married name will be what my maiden name was. Weird.

At the post-engagement party at her parents' house.

Jake and his new and future Aunt Ashley!

Jake and Granna partyin'.

Jake and his great aunt Emily!

Ashley's cousin's daughter drew this for them. Super cute.

My brother made the ring. Yep.

They like each other.

The fam.

Jake had fun at the party too.

He and Uncle Josh wore matching shoes.

It's hard to get a non-goofy picture of them.

But we got two good ones!
