More Outdoor Weather

March 22nd

Another Beautiful Summer day, oh wait, it's March! :) We hit 83 degrees today. Zoey and I sat outside and ate popsicles and then we all went for a bike ride when Matt got home from work and then BBQ'd for dinner! Sounds like a summer day to me!

We bought this bike seat off of craigslist... and today we get to try it out!

 

 

We are loving  this weather! And Zoey loves her new bike seat! :)

All on a Sunday Afternoon

Today was a beautiful day and we spent the day outdoors doing things! It's a Sunday so we started off by going to church. Zoey was so tired after church we out her down for a nap and then Matt and I made some super healthy fruit smoothies and went right outside to enjoy them in the, get this, 76 degree weather! We sat and chatted and soaked up the sun. The rest of the day we focused on being outside too. We took Zoey out for her first bike and tricycle ride! Then we went for 2 hikes. And stayed out til dark! :-) Good day!

Here are a TON of pictures from the day! There are SOOO many cute ones!!!

Zoey's first time on her bike. Her feet don't reach but she still loved going for a ride.

She also took a ride on her tricycle, again, loved it.

Zoey and Shauna relaxing on the front porch after riding bikes.

We had a great time hiking on some local trails. Zoey had so much fun riding on our shoulders.

Zoey's first time playing in a river...well kinda playing...more me hanging her in by her feet :)

Zoey is learning so quick. She'll be walking before we know it!

We passed this bridge and had to get some pictures of Zoey. They turned out super cute.

Priceless!!!!

Zoey in a tree like a monkey.

It really wiped Zoey out!

One minutes Zoey was awake and the next...

...out like a light.

 

 We had a great Sunday afternoon. It was nice to finally have a warm, sunny day to enjoy. We can't wait for many more of these.

Stewart Wedding

Breanna & Chase are officially 

BREANNA AND CHASE STEWART

Stewart Wedding Day
March 10th, 2012

Getting ready for the big event

 

The Beautifully Transformed Barn where the ceremony took place!

Now for the moment we've all been waiting for:

THE CEREMONY

Alaina made the most beautiful flower girl! 

The Stake President gave a brief rundown of F. Burton Howard's 2003 talk that talks about this lady who took such care of her silverware. The point of it was: "If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently. … It becomes special because you have made it so." I fed the girls the entire ceremony so they would stay quiet :) ha ha. Aren't they cute.

Then for the exchanging of the rings. Talk about a pretty ring. Bling, bling, Bre! :) And Chase's is cool too!

The Happy Couple!!!

And of course after the ceremony, you have to get lots of pictures of the bride and with the bride. Jess and I helped with the dress and all for the pics. You don't want to get a gorgeous dress like that dirty ;)

Here's the family! (Everyone but Matt, we missed you babe!)

The girls and the happy couple.

Then for the ravishing women

and the stylish men.

And my  sweet, adorable, lovable Zoey! (That's right, she gets 3 adjectives! I'm a little biased :)

oh,... and my belly bump and my pumps!!! (I could write a whole post on my view of "pumps" but I'll sum it up for you... OUCH!!!)

Collages from Shannon's blog. (Thanks Shan!)

 Then for the Luncheon: Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm!!!

A quick clean up and THE RECEPTION was a go. Which included all the good stuff such as: Visiting and Socializing and being with friends, family, and the bride :) 

Here's me and my BFF Chelsi! She is also the amazing photographer that took all the professional looking pics :) 

The only picture I got of just me and the bride

Zoey was tryin to send happy vibes Alaina's way. She was a bit sick!

Then we got their attention. :) Besties... and Besties!!! Love it! And we're both carrying soon to be Besties too! Isn't that great? What a blessing!

The Cutting of the Cake

They were too nice, huh? :)

Then the garter was taken off and thrown, and the bouquet of flowers was thrown. And wouldn't you know it? Jake and Leeann were the lucky catchers! Looks like they are heading straight for a wedding! Oh wait? They are! :) So excited for that one in July!!!

 

Then to start the dancing, of course the traditional couples dance. It was beautiful. I teared up. The song was "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. I think it's my new favorite now :)

Then the father-daughter dance. I really teared up then! We're all a bunch of ball babies!

Then the DJ's got the party started and it was time for the rest of us to get on the dance floor!

Man, they can really get down!!!

Ryan took pity on me...since he knows this prego lady can't exactly "get down" and look cool right now, so we just did the traditional, yet totally awesome, swing dancin! Thanks Ry!

Even Zoey did quite a bit of dancing!

Then we got a little tuckered out... and what do you know,  it was time for the happy couple to head on their way and for us to clean up :)

 Time for Take Down

Good thing we were wearing comfortable shoes :) Take down wasn't bad. With everybody's help, we just got things done and done. And looked dang good doin it! Check out Leeann! Hot mama!

Tired, cold, little girl, resting in her Uncles arms! How sweet!

What a jam packed, fun-filled day! It's so nice to have the family together for such a beautiful occasion! It was marvelous! Simply Marvelous!
