Busy Weekend

We had been looking forward to this last weekend all summer long. My younger brother Adam married his sweetheart Hannah on Saturday. It was a beautiful wedding and they both looked fantastic. We are so happy for Adam and Hannah and grateful to have another amazing family member. All my brothers have married awesome women. We arrived early for pictures and soon discovered (although we weren't shocked) that Hope was not going to last the night. Jared first thought that he would take Hope home and miss the entire evening, including the ceremony. My sweet sister-in-law, Jenica, then informed us that she had a babysitter lined up for her kids and that we could leave Hope there as well. Hallelujah! I had tried to move the kids feeding and sleeping schedules to accommodate the wedding and reception but it didn't work. So Hope was running all over the golf course up until it started and then watched the wedding from the way back with Grandma Forman as she was unable to sit quietly. (Thank you Linda!) Shortly after the ceremony we loaded Hope, Brody, and Sadie in the car and took them to my brother's house to be babysat. It was fantastic! Like being on a date with my husband! Hope did really well......so well that she played and kept Sadie up until 10pm when we picked her up. And although we had Bryce with us he was very good. I would have to say that the highlights of the wedding were the adorable picture show, Adam throwing the garter belt wrapped football onto a table glasses, and Aunt Debbie grooving on the dance floor. :-) I only wish I would have remembered my camera for photos.

Sunday morning we arose bright and early to get ready for Bryce's baby blessing. It was very nice. All of Jared's immediate family and most of mine were able to attend. I did remember my camera on Sunday and will post the pictures we took below. I only regret that it was not a great day for Heidi and Steve who had difficulty finding the place and unfortunately sat in front of a cranky, old, outspoken man. Because of such they didn't make it into the photos, but did participate in the blessing. Sorry Heidi! Jared and I were so tired last night that we were asleep within two minutes of our heads hitting the pillow. Too bad this morning was Monday and not Saturday........we need another weekend to recover!
