I heart Weddings

Saturday we attended Russell's cousin's wedding. They did a ring ceremony and dinner in Alpine before the reception. It was so beautiful and I love going to weddings. It reminds me of when Russ and I did. We left Ava with my mom for the dinner part and then picked her up after to bring her to the reception. So it was fun to just be me and Russ for a little date. We got all dressed up and it was great to hang out with all his family and relatives. I really am so lucky to have such awesome in-laws! After the wedding we were driving to pick up Ava and Russell told me how lucky he is to be with me and how much he loves me! I feel the same about him. Every day I am just so incredibly grateful that we found each other! Life is so perfect with him!

Here is a picture taken 7 years ago at our wedding. The wonderful moment when they announced us man and wife .. you may kiss the bride! I love weddings and since I will only have one of my own I love to attend other peoples weddings as a refresher of our own vows.


Russ and I at the dinner on Saturday.

Later on at the reception with Ava.

The event was held at the Alpine Art Center and so there was all these statues. Ava was so interested in them. Right before I took the pic she actually kissed the moose on the nose. It was so cute but I missed it with the camera and she wouldn't do it again.

This totally looks like the statue is going to hug her. haha

Earlier that day before the wedding we decided to spend the day at the pool since it was a nice day and Russ had the day off. It was so fun as always!

I thought this one was funny. Ava has finally discovered her shadow and sometimes will follow it around. I'm not sure what she is thinking about her. Maybe telling it to go away? haha who knows. She is such a funny little girl. I can't believe she is already 18 months old. SO old wow she is no longer a little baby but a full fledged toddler. She even goes to nursery now (and LOVES it). I really need to post her stats and more about that maybe later.
