They're Hitched!

We are all married :) The Brown's are hitched. Kylie is officially my sister-in-love and we had an absolutely fantastic time celebrating them! Dave was working in Clinton, IA the week prior and he took the camper down and drove up with it Thursday (parked it at Andy's for the weekend). I took the kids down on Wednesday, it was a hairy day getting us packed and on the road, but oh well;)

This is brief! Just the few pics I have - others have more and I can't wait to see them all.

 Wednesday night was a girls night!! Sister/cousins at Amanda's house. It was lovely and a fun bonding experience. We all needed a few hours to just relax! I kind of think this should be a regular thing when we are all home!

Thursday morning was Nail Day! We all got prettied up and spent girl time together...the bride couldn't decide what color nail to get.... :) Shae was so happy but the fumes in there were pretty harsh! She didn't stay long:) 

Kate got to be a part of the fun and had a blast with the big girls. There were multiple appointments and crews that came through, here was ours! 

Ron and Bobbi graciously offered to watch the kids while we were busy with wedding activities - THANK YOU!!!!! Collin wanted to come with us to the nail salon, but as soon as he saw Gpa Ron and Gma Bobbi he wanted to stay home:) 

This happy girl not only got her nails done, but ice cream too! She was excited to see Uncle Andy <3 I love the Sugar Bowl on Water Street!

Kate also got to come along and help decorate at Oneota Country Club! She had a blast "watching" Shae but also helped Molly and I hang the lanterns over the dance floor! 6 going on 13!

After decorating, we had an evening out at Geoff and Mary's to visit with friends and family. Another fun wedding week activity!

Friday was actually not as crazy as I imagined.... :) I hung with the kids while Mom tended to some rehearsal dinner things, the men golfed...it was a nice little rest before more to come!

Getting into something..., the three of them dream up all kinds of things and make elaborate scenarios...I'm pretty sure they are spies in this picture...

Cleaned up and ready for rehearsal! 

Gpa Wally made the ring box (and other things) and Collin was BEYOND proud to be the "Box Boy" :) He was so excited and yes, he dropped the box a couple times..(I was sweating...) The moment we walked into the beautiful church, Ayden just started yelling at the top of his lungs. Happy, loud screams...it echoed and he was in heaven. We were not. 

She requested this hair do...

After rehearsal, we had dinner upstairs at Tbocks! It is a cool place. We got to spend more time with Grandma Oehlke!

Awww!!! A nice family picture!

The kids had a blast playing and dancing (Huinkers, Hodens, Browns and Lenningers) 

Tony and the kids:)

The bride and groom handed out some amazing gifts and the boys loved these John Deere sticker books. Ayden liked putting them on me. They do this at the doctor too.

Wedding morning!! Kate's hair. I LOVED it!! She was perfect and the gal complemented her many times. It was so beautiful...

The girls hanging around the salon in the morning...

And we were texting back to Dad and Dave...they had to get the boys ready (I was slightly nervous - but look! No need  - good grief these boys have all of my heart...) and they stayed in this full outfit all night!

The flower girls playing while the gals got dressed at Pat and Roger's

After the ceremony!! Playing outside:)

The wedding party hopped on a sweet wagon pulled by a John Deere (duh) and we took pictures and had a blast. The kids were rather disappointed that they could come along. So James took them for a ride during the reception  - they loved it! 

There are so many other pictures, it is overwhelming to me to try and grab them all. But let's just leave this as a glimpse into this perfect day :)  We were so grateful to be a part of it and this family!
