Aunt A and Uncle Jay are MARRIED!!! :)  We were so excited to hang out with them this past weekend and celebrate at their wedding.  Zack was an usher and had a scripture reading.  I handed out programs.  And Zander was the cutest ring bearer I have ever seen!!  It was so wonderful spending time with the family.  Despite the rainy weather, I believe everything turned out perfectly!  I loved all the little details Amanda included in her wedding and reception.  It was definitely a fun party as well!  Here are some pictures to document the momentous occasion!

The day before we headed west.... Zander did this at daycare :( Great for wedding pictures!

Burke got to tag along for this road trip!  Don't know where he will sit when we add the 2nd car seat!

Did awesome at the rehearsal!

Loved the cake at the rehearsal dinner!

Aunt A, Uncle Jay, Juliana (flower girl) and Zander.... these two are one week apart in age!   Too cute!

The boys!

Jay's niece and Amanda's nephew.... perfect combination!

Side note:  Zander started to make it down the aisle.... zigzagged through a pew or two... tried to go back up the aisle and finally came running down the aisle when prompted by mommy!  He decided to become extra chatty while the opening prayer was happening so we didn't make it through much of the ceremony. We spent time rolling around the halls on this fine mode of transportation (see below)!  I was able to look through the peep hole in the door of the sanctuary and place Zander back in the wedding party just in time to walk back up the aisle at the end.

Air Show Fun

First, I was able to visit my co-worker's precious baby girl on Friday! She is so cuddly and adorable! It has gotten me even more excited about "Thunderbird"'s arrival in seven "ish" weeks.

Zander got a haircut so he is ready for Aunt A and Uncle Jay's wedding this upcoming Saturday!

We loaded up the car with our family of 3.5 and headed this afternoon to the air show! We took Zander last year, and he had a blast.  We knew he would love it even more this year because is obsessed with airplanes!  He had a quick snack before we hit the road..... he wanted to wear his sunglasses and hat while we were still at the house getting ready to leave... silly boy!

On the bus ride over to the airport from the parking lot... Zander loves buses and planes..... it was a perfect day for him!

Another snack on the go!

Zander did not like the fire at all! haha

Worn out after all the fun!
