the party-reception

I loved the small details of Ali's wedding.

She was very particular in what she wanted.

It showed,

because everything turned out just as she planned!

There was plenty of dancing during the night.

And Jack... was a HIT!

We said our good-byes and sent them off...

(to Cancun on their honeymoon)

Congratulations Ali Wright !

Love you.

the wedding

It was finally my sisters turn to be in a wedding dress, and probably the most beautiful one out there! I've been anxiously awaiting this day for her for a long time. I don't think it could have been any more perfect. She was the most beautiful bride, and together her and Eric seemed so happy!! I have enough pictures for 5 posts so I thought I would split it up a little.

First Post:

2 hands + 3 kids = aaahhh!

I went to the the mall two days ago.

3 people told me "it looks like you have your hands full."

Do they think I don't know that already....

How to juggle three kids?

I don't know yet.

Still learning.

We made it to an Easter egg hunt this morning.

Barely.

We had a great time with Aunt Ali!

I've been talking to the kids about Easter.

They are very anxious.

Papa took them to go buy plastic eggs,

and they won't stop talking about it.

Tony's been out of town for 13 days..

Really looking forward to NEXT WEEK!!

GUEST POST:

Abby's little sister {Ali} here.

My sister is in the process of boxing up/moving, mothering 3 children, being a wife, and being stylish while in the process, and so she asked me to post pictures of Colton because I have them on my computer....and I've failed at posting until now.

She thought I was going to upload some pictures and call it good.

no way.

.

First of all, my sister is incredible. There are times when I consider her just a good old sister but after she graciously asked me to be in the room when she delivered Colton, I will never look at her the same.

In a good way.

Watching Abby and Tony during the process was simply amazing.

It was very short. {Which I wasn't surprised} But it was so moving.

They worked together as a team.

Tony cheered her on and gave her the confidence to keep going.

Tears were shed...and maybe 3 groans by superwoman

and baby Colton arrived.

.

My heart was pounding and seeing them become parents of 3 was so special.

I couldn't help but feel the love of our Father in Heaven.

This little baby was just with Him, and then in my sisters arms.

Colton is a special little guy.

He has great parents and siblings that smother him to pieces.

This little one is so loved and so handsome.

.

I am a lucky aunt and a lucky sister!

Thanks Absterbaby for letting me be there.

my little present to Colton was the book,

Guess How Much I Love You.

and i really do love little Colton to the moon and back.
