Down the aisle, AGAIN????

Ok, so let me set the scene...My cousin in law (in law) has always thought it'd be fun to do something with her girlfriends wearing their wedding dresses (remember that episode on Friends where Monica and Phoebe wear the dresses all around the house?) Well she planned the party and it was last night. It really was a blast. Everyone wore their dresses, or a bridesmaid dress and we had cheese and chocolate fondue, a wedding cake, and even did wedding things like walking down an aisle (runway) and cutting the cake. It was lots of laughs and just sillyness. I'll add more photos and hopefully some video once Lindsey and Becky post some. For now, you can see my pics. (I know...I seem to have lots of wedding posts lately......weird....

This is me and Cole's cousin Jenny

Hunting in Wayne County

Hey all! So I just got back from going on a hunting/camping trip with the family. My brother Matt drew a Bull Elk tag and so he asked Cole to guide him...So we took the kids and joined my parents and some siblings and went for 5 days. One morning I went with Cole, Matt, and my older brother Casey to go out looking for a big bull elk that Cole and Matt had seen the night before...Well we left really early, rode the 4-wheelers up a crazy rocky mountain trail (it was fun!) and then hiked out in the dark and were seated beneath a tree when we started hearing some elk begin to bugle. Well Cole had warned us that if a bull came out of the trees by us, to make sure and sit totally still and make NO movements!...Well moments later a bull came out of the trees to our left. It was still pretty dark, but we could see it and it was walking right toward us! My heart was pounding! I wasn't really scared, but it was crazy! The elk came within 10 feet of us and stopped, turned it's head and looked right at us. It could definitely see us, but it wasn't sure if we meant danger...so we just stayed frozen...I was a little scared it would come closer, (it was plenty close for my liking..haha)...it walked a few feet away and bugled! It was crazy! Then it looked at us again...and finally decided we were nothing to worry about and it walked off! It was nuts!! My brother didn't shoot this one, because it was not the one we were waiting for, it was just a little one that follows the big one around hoping to steal one of the cow elk that are with the big one....Anyway this was my first elk hunting experience and it was pretty cool! Matt still hasn't got that big bull...they were up on it last night and my husband would have had a shot (but he isn't the one with the tag)...they hope to be able to get a shot on it tomorrow night when they go out again...
Anyway this may have been a boring read...but it was exciting for me! :)

Shany's Wedding

My sister in law Shantel got married on Friday the 12th and Easton was her ring bearer. He was SO adorable in the tux she rented for him! Cole also had to wear a tux and looked so handsome! I was a bridesmaid and don't have any pictures from my camera, but when I do, I'll add them.

Shyler and her cousin were not in the wedding, but we did get them matching shirts and they looked very cute!

Another really fun thing that happened with her wedding was that at her bridal photo shoot, she asked myself and her two sisters to wear our wedding dresses (we all still got in them!) and to do some fun shots with us all in our dresses! I had never heard of people doing that, but I'm so glad her photographer had the idea, because it was so fun!!

Here is a few of the shots...

First Day of Preschool

These are a few weeks late, but I've been SOOO busy! Shyler started Preschool this year and Loves it! Here is a pic of her first day...and also Easton, so he wouldn't feel left out. :)

Randomness

Here's a picture of Shyler with her hair in some curlers...it turned out looking like Shirley Temple on crack. hahaha. I wish i could have gotten an "after" shot, but she was crying and asking me to fix it, so I had to wash it out...haha
Here is Shyler feeding her new cousin, Korbin. When I babysat him and his sister a few weeks ago, Shyler just wanted to hold and feed him the whole time! She is a mommy-in-training, that's for sure.
Here is Cole and Korbin. He looks so cute holding a baby, right? Let's talk him in to another..haha..just kidding.

New Haircuts

Time for Haircuts!!! I took the kids to my friend Kelsey's hair school. She did a good job!

Easton ready for his haircut!
