The Smith Wedding!!

 Abbi and Brett got married!!!

We were so happy to be able to be at the rehearsal dinner.


Family photo!!  I love this picture!


Connor found Emma, his cousin and one of the flower girls.  He's always been very protective of Em!


We helped a little bit with the decorating of the reception site.  It was beautiful!
(someone needs to fix that sash... the one in the middle on the right... yeah... retie please! :))


The guys were all ready, waiting for the bride!!


Brett first seeing Abbi! :)  
I think he was experiencing some sort of emotion... what do you think? ;-)


I think Abbi was pretty happy to see him too! :)





She looks lovely!



Yeah!  The day has come!  It's finally here!


They look quite sincere as they say their vows!


I believe he wants her to be his wife...


awww... look at those mushy gooshy looks! :)



 Brett then washed Abbi's feet as a symbol of humility and service to his new wife.
(look at those socks!!! :))


YEAH! 'They are honeys' as the boys would say... :)


Mr. & Mrs. Smith at the reception!


Jimmy and Schafer sporting the pink showing that it's cool to love your wife and wear what she's asks you to... :)


Connor found himself a girl to flirt with at the reception... he sat down and asked her to play a game with him.  He likes to play the game 'who would win' and you say two animals then debate with each other who would win.  They played for a while... :)  He goes for beauty AND brains... :)


Vale found his BFF for the week Stacie and was happy as a clam! (although you can't tell in this picture...)


He's such a handsome little guy in his bow tie :)


Congrats Brett and Abbi!!!

 We had a ton of fun at a shower for Abbi right before she got married!


A lady from her home church gave a little devotional and it was AMAZING!


We were so excited for Brett and Abbi!


She got some very cute things!


So fun hanging out with these ladies!


Somebody was telling an interesting story... :)

Last week in LA for the boys

 The boys last day at Grace Community Church was hard for this mama!


We had a play date for the boys at a park so they could see some of their friends before they left.


We had icee pops and on the hot day, they were very appreciated!


 Just hanging out...


Little buddies! :)


The boys had so many fun kids to play with in California!  They are gonna miss their friends!


Good-bye Los Angeles!!!

Oh the fun we have!

 Vale's personality is developing more and more.  They play so well together.  Vale is finally the one doing the entertaining.


It's nice to have friends with fun toys!! :)


What a sweet boy!


Connor said he wanted to be packed up in a box and shipped. :)


Now that a good looking couple of boys!


We like cookies and milk in our house...


... and baby rolls and smiles...


... and mischievous grins... 


What a sweet bunch of boys!

Whale/Dolphin watching boat tour

 We got to go down just below Santa Monica and went on a whale watching tour.


The boat was REALLY old but really cool!


The boys were really excited!  They love animals!


The boys love their grandpa!


Connor was REALLY sea sick, thankfully we gave him dramamine right before we got on the boat so it kicked in after about 20 minutes.


We didn't see any whales but we saw a TON of dolphins.  They were swimming all around our boat.


There were over 100 dolphins swimming.
 

There was even a BABY dolphin jumping with his mommy! :)


Our baby was hanging with his daddy too! :)


Vale fell and scraped up his knee... the guy on the boat was really nice and helped patch him up.


We had a great time!!
