Weekend Wedding

Last week my family headed to Pegosa Spring for a cousin's wedding.  It was set in the beautiful Colorado mountains complete with a beautiful barn reception.  We danced the night away outside the barn complete with white little lights above our head.  

It has been awhile since we have been to a wedding.  So fun to see the sight of young love with their whole futures ahead of them.  Of course the little ones in the wedding have a way of stealing the show!

We were lucky enough to be in one of the front rows to capture a couple of shots.  

My aunt and uncle and grandparents of the bride. I thought they looked so cute!  They have been married a long time.  Wonder if they thought back to that day they said their own vows?

My niece who is affectionately called "Minnie Me".   She came out from the shade to get closer to all the action.  

My sister had some babysitting time as we waited for the wedding to start.  

With that the wedding was over and the fun would start.  A wonderful dinner and then a fun dance. My sisters and I love a good dance floor. Really there is no better way to end the night celebrating love and new beginnings.

Smooth Waters

Our first kayak trip of the season.  Felt so good to be on the smooth water in the sun.  Felt good to be outside as a family.  
All of the kids can go out by themselves except Luke.  A little slice of freedom for them.  
We figured out how to take Luke out in his casts. He loved it and was all smiles on this day! It is not always easy all of us together each day so grateful for happy family moments.
Summer is too fast.  Then again it always is.  Hoping for some more family days like this!

Eight Years Family Day

Eight Years home. So many memories so many experiences with this little man.  He has taught me more than I ever could have imagined.  He has worked hard this last year on different parts of life that are hard and sometimes unfair.  I remember that little boy who came home with that smile that won my heart.  He was just two now he is almost ten.  This summer he has been very good at playing with Luke teaching him about Legos and little boy games.  Life is never boring with Andy.  He loves hard and feels deep this boy of mine!

Cute and Three

Just for the record it is not easy to have an Aunt who is a photographer!  She may make you stand in the grass and look at her:)

However, after a venue change and some water she just may get a smile.  Even her lovely assistant, Brianna, could not get a smile most of this photo session.

This little one has her own mind, her own way, and her very own personality.  She is not easily swayed and is as cute as can be!

This is the Aunts favorite photo.  The look of innocence!
