In early January our family from Iowa came to Arizona to celebrate Alicia and Rhett's wedding. It was so fun to see our family and even meet some of the newest members Ronix, my nephew is now over a year and we didn't get to meet him until this trip. Here are some of the fun photos that captured the memories made.
Willa and Madelyn shouting at Grandpa Chip.
Ronix helping Jennings learn how to do a push up correctly. :-)
Grandma and Grandpa with their grandkids! Quite the crew!
We went to the zoo to see zoo lights. It was really fun, although Mason was disappointed he couldn't see the animals when it was dark!
Jennings was all snuggled in tight as it was cold!
Family pictures in front of the huge xmas tree, even though Christmas was over, it was so fun!
The whole group!
MaeLyn and Aaron and Ronix
Before Grandpa had to go home we had to snap a few photos.
Saying goodbye is always for the birds. We miss our family in Iowa so much!
Grandma and Grandpa with the kids!
Even mom got in one of the pictures!
The guys shot below.
Here's a photo of our extended family who came all in for the wedding! It was so fun to see so many of them!!!! And this isn't even the entire family... there are several more that wern't able to make it.
One night while Grandma was still here, we went to watch Michael with his new sport of BMX bike racing. Jennings was all smiles getting cuddle time with Grandma.
It was Michael's first time racing and he ended up getting third place. He was so excited!
Because I have so many pictures, these are out of order.
Here is the first moment Jennings got to meet his next oldest cousin, Ronix.
Jennings thought he should eat Ronix's hand to say hello!
Ronix wasn't so sure about it as you can see by his face!
Then uncle Aaron got to hold both boys.
Having the cousins all together to play was fun!
The girls were trying to help Ronix walk.
There were coloring moments.
and resting moments....
hugging moments...
checking out grandpa's pocket supplies moments...
lots of smiling moments...
and then it was time to get ready for the wedding moments.
Rehearsal...
Madelyn was the flower girl in the wedding and the boys were ushers, and Jarrett the officiant so we all went to the rehearsal. Here are some photos from the fun the practice session was!
Madelyn made a friend right away when we arrived and those two became best little buddies.
She was super excited to get to take pictures with the beautiful bride Alicia!!!!
And the bride and her pretty momma Anita!
Everyone listened carefully to the instructions of when everyone was supposed to walk.
The bride and her wonderful dad Andy!
Madelyn was practicing tossing the petals.
Taking her job very seriously!
It was a long way to the place where the ceremony started so she carefully placed her petals making sure she had enough to last!
Mom, don't interrupt me!
Time for the bride to arrive!
Ceremony practice!
Jarrett feeling lonely by himself, waiting for the other to join him!
Hello? Is anyone coming?
Afterwards we were treated to a wonderful meal and some beautifully decorated and tasty cookies! Madelyn approved!
Jennings was so happy to get extra snuggles with Aunt Anita too!
It was such a fun time and while we were having so many great memories we had no idea just how much fun was in store with the wedding the next day!
Stay tuned many more pictures of the fun ahead!!!
Until next time,
Angie
