One Month

Branson turned one month old last Friday. It took me that long to take him to get some pictures taken. We are thankful that Auntie Pam is a photographer, because otherwise we might never get any done. Here is a sneak peak.

We are having so much fun with Branson these days. He is a happy little guy, which makes his mommy and daddy happy. Most of the time that he is awake he is laughing and smiling. He is even happy when he is sleeping, we know this because every so often he lets out a little chuckle to tell us.

Congratulations Stephen and Jenny

Saturday we went to help celebrate the new marriage of Stephen and Jenny. They tied the knot at the home of the bride's parent's outside of Ellensburg, the setting was amazing.

Branson is becoming a pro at attending weddings. This was the second wedding of his life and he gets to go to another in less than two weeks. We can't wait to celebrate with Mark and Meredith.

Josh really enjoyed the band. Here are the newlyweds with some of the kids at the wedding and the band Countrified.

The Wedding

Kati and Forrest got married last week. We are so excited to have another brother, and couldn't have picked a better one ourselves.

Branson and I got to spend the whole week at Mom and Dad's, I was very thankful we had made plans for Josh to fly over, so I didn't have to make the trip home by myself. The plan was for me to help get ready for the big day, but I think everyone there helped me out with Branson more than I helped them. We had fun anyway and got Kati and Forrest married off.

Baby B got to meet more of his Aunties and Uncles. Here he is visiting with Uncle Ben.

Maybe I shouldn't have told Auntie Bethany that whoever helps get Branson ready can do his hair how they want. The result a faux hawk!

Dad and Kate practicing

Forrest parents treated us to an amazing dinner on the water in Olympia.

Daddy and Branson all tired out after the rehearsal and dinner.

Ben sang
Dan reminded Kati and Forrest of the first time they met

Mom did an amazing job with the cake and the food once again.
One of our weddings wouldn't be complete without a song written by Uncle Steve. This time everyone dressed up in honor of Forrest's Texas roots. I am not sure why my husband is the only one who looks dressed up here. Wish you could see Ben's boots, they made quite a statement.

Karissa with her song to the Newlyweds. She did an awesome job!

Week in Review

Cookie bouquet from cousins Adrian, Sharla and family. So cute and delicious too!

Daddy is Branson's favorite person. He had to go back to work this week, but they still get lots of time together in the evenings.

Grandma came to spend the week. We love having her.We couldn't decide when to introduce a pacifier to him. Then Branson found his thumb.

Branson wins. He just likes to hold this one to his mouth.
