Finally, the Wedding

Finally we arrive at the actual wedding. We were very rushed for some reason to get there. It seemed strange since we had spent the majority of the day being lazy while the kids napped, and then all of a sudden everyone was trying to get ready at once, Eli was still sleeping, and we had a little drama with getting the bride ready. (I've been sworn not to go into details about that story, but I am definitely holding this information close to my heart to use as damaging blackmail later!!!) It was worse than a three ring circus. Most everyone else headed to the hall leaving me, and my nephews behind to finish getting my children ready and getting all of their crap in the car. (I truly can not wait until the day that I don't have to drag half the house around with me!) Needless to say, I got myself ready in about 5 minutes. Seriously. I left Eli in his overalls until we arrived at the hall. The waiting was stressful, trying to keep the kids occupied, but it was all worth it. My sister's wedding was beautiful, and I don't know that I have ever seen her happier, which makes all of my drama and exhaustion worth it. I love you sis!

(Small note, since this blog is about Super Girl and The Boy, I tried to only include pictures that actually included the kids. There are TONS more pictures which you can see at

The beautiful bride with the kids. Hannah refused to take pictures without corner blankey. She definitely has a future as a diva let me tell you.

Uncle Kent loves his new niece and nephew.
Eli wasn't digging the cowboy hat Aunt Nikki wanted him to wear as ring bearer.

It's ok, Aunt Nikki still loves you.

Eli ended up not walking, but Cousin Patrick was kind enough to carry him. You will also notice that he really didn't care for the cowboy boots either. He is actually wearing his sprinkler sandals. It was cute to hear everyone in the audience go "AW" at one time.

Hannah was a beautiful flower girl and very well behaved throughout the ceremony. Only niche was that ran out of pedals and stopped walking. She wasn't sure what to do! It's ok though, she eventually made it down the aisle.

LOVE this picture!

Love this one more!

AH, he's just doling out the kisses now!

The bridal party dance.

Eli kinda likes his Grandpa.

Aunt Nikki had a special surprise for Hannah. She asked the DJ to play Barbara Ann (Bop Bop er Ann, By the Beach Boys, Hannah's favorite song). Hannah was so excited that she grabbed the mic and started singing and dancing. Cutest thing I think ever. She is not shy at all!!

During Hannah's performance, Eli was mesmerized by the lights on top of the DJ's speakers. Every picture I see of him makes me smile once I get down to his feet and see his sandals!

Hannah seriously learning a line dance. If the song had only been a few minutes longer she would have had it.

Great Uncle Mike helping Eli clean up all those pedals. What can I say?

I'm raising my boy right!

Yeah, he's still cleaning.

Hannah finally ran out of gas.

I'm asking if she's out of gas. Her response was, "Yes, but my Pepsi will fill my gas back up."

Hannah went behind the DJ table, grabbed the DJ and made him dance with her. He loved every minute of it.

The beautiful bride!!!
