Mary Gets Married!

In August we got to go spend two weeks with my Family celebrating my little sister Mary and her new husband Ryan. We love these two peeps and were happy to travel the world for them!! First we had a reception in MI.
Ryan and his new Seeesters, minus Roxy.  

 This chick basically ate srawberries and tried to feed this bunny flowers all night. 
 She stole a few Specs from this guy too.
*Explanation of what I mean by specs*
See those yellow ball flowers on my dads shirt. Well Reese has a small obsession with Horton Hears a Who, and when I say small I actually mean she is crazy about that elephant and his spec on a clover. My dad gave her one of those yellow flowers and told her it was her spec. She walked around for a week straight holding onto her spec talking to the Mayor of whoville. It was pretty darling. Every once in a while she would come around the corner saying "HELLO Mayor are you there? Hello?". It was pretty funny to watch her little mind work. 

After the reception in Michigan we packed up and moved it out west to Salt Lake City.  I wish I had more pictures of Mary and Ryan because they looked great but somehow I don't. I don't even have a picture with them at all. I hate when I don't take the pictures I am actually going to want, but here are a few from her beautiful wedding day.

 Reese Loved the flowers and wanted everyone to know how good they smelled. That is her sniffing face.
 Isaac, Reese and Jackson
At the reception being silly. 

I am so mad at myself about the lack of pictures I have. But I do have one more good story I need to document. 
Reese was really cranky while we were waiting for Mary and Ryan to come out of the temple. So when picture time came around she was not having any of it (could explain the lack of pictures). Once the big group shots were over my dad came and took Reese and Isaac for a walk, all by himself i'd like to add. About a half hour later when I am done with pictures I am walking back to the hotel which is right across the street from where the wedding took place. I am crossing the street when I look to the other side and I see a naked (diaper only), barefoot Reese and Isaac who looks like he has chocolate all over his face. They are walking across the street hand in hand with my dad not with a care in the world. I meet them at the other side only to see Isaacs face is not covered in chocolate but in blood. My dad took them to get a cookie. Reese picked out a cookie that was covered in blue icing so he took her dress of b/c he did not want to get in trouble if she messed it up. Which makes sense I am just not sure why it never made it back on, I am still not sure why she was barefoot though. Isaac had tripped and busted his face on a curb. I love this story because despite how they looked they all were so happy to have escaped the wedding craziness for just a minute. It was really sweet to see my dad loving it too.

Here is a little video of Reese in the hotel room still dressless but oh so happy to not be in the sun taking pictures.

It was such a beautiful day.
