A Wedding starts our Whirlwind!

At the end of July, with 2 strollers, too many bags, 3 car seats & 3 kids we embarked on a 9 day whirlwind.  It was a blast.  We saw lots of family and friends and had lots of fun!  We are very tired but of course well worth it.

It started with this...my cousin on the Richard side Stacey married her college sweetheart Mike in Omaha so we boarded the "Southwest Shuttle" and with a hop, skip & jump we landed (not without a few...ok a lot...of frazzled airport moments).  We hit up Runza (a must!) and the rehearsal in which Griffin emphatically announced that he would not be participating in this wedding.  He changed his mind to the tune of a few matchbox cars and a cute flower girl though and the boys did a great job!
  Ha ha!


Stacey was a very happy and beautiful bride and we had a blast celebrating with her!



An awesome bonus to this wedding was a chance for all the family to be together which seems to be harder and harder to do.  My oldest cousin Robbie, his wife Rochelle & their daughter Regan came from California which was so great and that meant it was the first time we were all together, grand kids...new grand kids (spouses)...and great grand kids!  I bet Grandpa loved watching this party from upstairs!


Auntie Al is a favorite among all the Ecclestons & she somehow knows just what we need to get the party started.


C Lu loved meeting the family and getting some loving in her pink fluff.


Poor Beanie had a fever but still pulled off one adorable walk down the isle.  
You can tell he had to call it a night.


But this adorable pink curly bundle was in for the long haul.  Kennedy is my cousin Jen's little girl and we loved getting in a quick squeeze.


And we'll end with my sweet husband who at this point was more than ready for the boys to go see their grandparents and hit the dance floor.  And that my friends, is what he did:).
