Just wanted to cuddle

Ben was playing quietly in his room and Lauren was yelling to me that all her dolls were gone. I open Ben's door and this is what I find. I said, "hey what are you doing?" and he said, "I just wanted to cuddle with all the babies and animals." Ben and his cuddling- he cracks me up!

Snow!

We were are all pretty excited when it started snowing Sunday morning! When we woke up we had a light dusting but within 30 minutes it was dumping snow and we ended up getting a few inches, so fun!

I've never seen Lauren get ready so fast, that girl was in a hurry to get outside and start playing! Love the concrete snow angel:)

Our hill before it got plowed. It looked so pretty.

The neighbors all got together to shovel and spread ice melt, Lauren started crying that they were getting rid of all the snow! I assured her no one would touch the sidewalks or our yard.

more snow angels

Ben got out Lauren's baby sled, guess it's time to get new sleds...should of thought of that before the snow...we headed out to find some sleds and the pickings were slim. After 3 stops we finally settled on a "snow board" for Lauren and a skimmer for Ben (because those were the only options we had!).

Both turned out to be pretty fun and we spent a couple hours playing out in the snow last night.

Wee!

Ben walked up our hill about 25 times, which is huge for him. He usually cries and refuses to walk up the hill after we take Lauren to the bus stop every morning. Funny how motivating some snow and a sled can be!

The "snow board". Kevin got in quite the work out pulling the kids all around on it. They had so much fun!

Our boarder

Taking a break from all that hard work;)

Ben gave it a shot too, he was pretty nervous though and prefers his sled.

As I'm typing this it is starting to snow again...yay! They are calling for a trace to 7 inches- quite a range! Can't wait to see what we get!!

Kelly & Zach's Big Day!!!

The morning of a group of us met at the venue to drop off some decor and set a few things up. Us girls got Starbucks first of course:)

The wedding was at the ferry terminal in Fairhaven. Such a beautiful venue!

The night before the wedding Kelly's mom got us girls a suite at the Chrysalis, so fancy and such an amazing view!

Walking down the aisle with Zach's brother. I was pretty excited about the wedding, can you tell:)

Kelly & her mom getting ready to walk down the isle, so so sweet. Poor Kelly was so nervous to have everyone's eyes on her but she looked STUNNING! Brought tears to my eyes (pretty much to everyone's I think)!

Mr. & Mrs. Stinson!

Trying not to fall over in my stilettos:)

Lauren was in heaven at the wedding, she loved being fancy and getting to be at a grown up party!

silly boy

I hadn't seen Lauren & Ben most of the weekend so they were pretty excited once my wedding duties were over and I could hang out with them.

Oma & Opa got to come too!

The bridal party!

College roomies! Laurie & I lived across the hall from Missy & Kelly at Western. Thank you to whomever did the room assignments, so thankful that we met them!

Lauren really wanted to wear my jewelry, such a fancy girl!

The kids were having SO MUCH FUN dancing! At one point Micheal Jackson came on and Lauren started screaming, "It's Micheal Jackson", she's a huge fan!
