Another Beginning to Forever

We had so much fun in California this past weekend for Kathleen and Drew's wedding. Their day was fabulous...and we'll get to it!

We made it to town around 9 Thursday night and got all settled in to watch the NEW episode of THE OFFICE. It was nice to sit and watch a show that we both like and laugh a bit.

Friday our plans included getting our alarm fixed, the beach and some yummy Ruby's on the pier...but Tyler had other plans. After playing all morning with grandma and grandpa Denos Tyler went down for a 2 1/2 hour nap!! Ryan took the car to the dealer and they fixed the alarm...but not really. We ended up getting a whole new alarm- thank goodness that is all over with. We tried to meet up at the beach with Ryan's mom and popa but little Ty kept right on sleeping through our plans ;)

Mom Crooks and Popa came to see us at my parent's house and the oogle over their cute little grandson/great-grandson. We went to the park and played in the sand, went on the swings, and enjoyed all the beautiful colors and weather.

Ryan, Tyler, and I hopped in the spa which my dad had heated a little so Tyler could enjoy it. He was laughing so much. We are lucky to have a little fish on our hands here. He didn't even freak out when he'd get water in his face. What a good boy!!
Friday night we went to a family dinner at the Yorba Linda Dunn's. We loved getting to see the Bride and Groom and all the out of town visitors. Tyler got to meet little Daisy Dog and loved all the kisses. He enjoyed being bigger than someone (or something) finally. Dinner was delicious, family was fantastic, and we were all getting so excited for the upcoming day's events!

Saturday was the day. The ceremony at Newport Beach Temple was perfect, the bride and groom, perfect, the reception-perfect! It was a little warm for April 12 in Cali, but beautiful none the less. Tyler came and joined us at the Temple and we got to take some fun family pictures with the amazing photographer. The reception was in a beautiful backyard and every detail was beautiful. We loved being reminded of how sweet it is to begin Forever with the person you have found to love. Kathleen and Drew are going to be so fantastic there aren't words to describe. They are perfect compliments to each other.

We are so glad we could be there for all the weekend entailed. We got to see grandma and grandpa to finally share some happy Tyler time with them- he was sick last week. We got to see Granny Jenny and Popa to share some quality time and quick visit. We also got to see a ton of extended family. Of course, the wedding topped off everything so nicely.
