Tyson & Brooke's Wedding

 My heart is beyond happy, my brother found the woman that completes him. She makes him so happy and brought the light back into by brother's eyes. As a protective older sister there isn't anything that can make you more happy than that. Brooke is his match, she is sassy and sweet and basically amazing. She shoots straight and will tell you exactly like it is and I love it. I told her one time that I loved her so much I just wanted to grit my teeth and squish her face, and her reply was that teeth grit love is the best kind. I think I have to agree. 

Their day was beyond beautiful. The photo taking was in full force on this day and I'm so glad to have so many memories.

 Grams and Grandpa looking as classy as ever.

We had to have a couple's temple photo shoot while we waited for our turn for family pictures with the bride and groom. Why waste a beautiful view?

 We even convinced grandma and grandpa to get in on the action.

 This guy, I really adore him. He is my other half and he makes my heart happy. It feels like just a blink since it was our day on these beautiful temple grounds. But that blink has really been over a decade! How does that happen?

These guys, they are pretty high up on my list of favorites. I'm pretty lucky, I count these guys as two of my best friends. They have my back always, and we would defend one another to the bitter end. And we pretty much always have a good time together.

And then those guys made the best decisions of their lives and married these two amazing gals and gave me two amazing sisters. Well played boys! I thank you!

~~~~Reception: Highland Gardens~~~~

The picture documentation continued into the night! There were so many sweet moments, little details, and these pretty cute kids that I just had to remember. The venue was beautiful and Brooke's color scheme and decor was so very classy. 

My Mama, she is such a beautiful lady. She loves these kids of mine with all her heart and they love her right back with all of theirs. 

Hayze-O was feeling large and in charge tonight. He insisted on wearing his fabulous neon glasses all night long. He has this little strut, full on attitude when he walks around sometimes. It is hilarious and adorable.

Oh my Mya girl, when did you get all grown up? 

Darling Sadie, Sweet and Sassy.

My Handsome Hayze

And our newest little love Sienna. She was just sweet as could be all night long.

This little crazy family of mine! I look at this picture and I honestly don't know how to adequately express the love and feelings of gratitude that are overflowing from my heart.

Auntie Megan we love ya! 

We hung out with Great Grandma and Grandpa most of the night. 

Lets just take a moment to appreciate the fact that Brooke made her own wedding cake! To her it was totally no big deal and she rocked it! It was delightful!

I realize that this isn't the most perfect picture but is was one of those silly/sweet moments that I wanted to remember. I came upon Mya counting the buttons on Brooke's dress.

Getting ready for the Sparkler Send off! These things were some pretty big sparklers!

Yep, Hayze is still sporting his shades.

McKay and Megan get Hitched!

This happy day has finally arrived! These high school sweethearts made it official and we couldn't be more thrilled!

Miss Megan, we adore you! You make my little brother a better man. It's true! We noticed it from the beginning, that as you dated he was happier. He wanted to be his best self for you. What more can a big sister ask for?

Their day was absolutely beautiful and you could tell that they were absolutely over the moon happy.

These two, they were made for each other. She gets his sense of humor and is right there along with him. They remind me of the quote from Walt Disney: "Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional."

As with most wedding days, the afternoon was a flurry of pictures, luncheoning and getting little people ready for the reception.

These two sillies were excited to wear their 'wedding dresses' and even more excited to finally get to see McKay, Megan and Grams & Grandpa.

McKay is such a sweet uncle. We have been so very blessed to have such incredible family that loves these kiddo's

Lovin' Grandpa

Sneaking a little Uncle K and Aunt Megan time before the line, that went all night long, formed.

This little mug was a very VERY angry man all night long. I have no idea what was the trigger for all his anger. We tried everything to make him happy. To get the quick, somber pictures above we were bribing him with M&Ms. Eventually even the ice cream and cookies weren't enough to keep him happy so Cody ended up driving around the block until he fell asleep.

This girl loves her Grams and Grandpa.

These happy pictures were snapped in our little window of Hayze happiness.

Daddy and Mommy with their girls.

This picture kinda sums up our life.

Sadie would have stayed glued to my parents all night long had we let her. It's just so hard to understand the whole etiquette of a wedding reception when you're 4. Grandpa had Mya on drink duty all night. He would give her the signal and she would run and fill his glass for him. It was sweet of him to make her feel important.
