Drew and Emily's Wedding Day!!!

This was a great day, filled with many pictures, laughing, crying, and little napping. I tried to capture it with as many pictures as I could! Dani and Lyss stayed with our kids in the waiting room during the ceremony. They had a few extra hands with Mikesell and Austin there too!

A favorite picture from the day! This is my grandparents, my kids' GREAT grandparents! This is a special picture! Now Grandma and Grandpa have their very own to show off! Grandma said she can't wait to show everyone during "good news minute" in Relief Society! :) That's one proud Grandma!

Sweet Sophie
A "sister" picture is always a must!
My attempt to capture the beauty of the Temple that day. The weather report called for snow and cold all day, we lucked out with blue skies and not too cold!

Me and the Groom
Kaley was VERY excited to see Drew, but clearly not as excited as Drew was to see HER!

Beautiful Em

A new sister-in-law! So excited to have you in our Family!!!
These two are the cutest little friends! McCall is my cousin, that is just 2 months younger than Kaley. They held hands the entire day, and just played! I couldn't decided which picture of these two was my favorite! What sweet girls!


Tired Bella Rose
Aww. I love these two!
Another absolute favorite of the day! Bella LOVES her Grandpa! She didn't really want to let him go to take these next few pictures without her!

Em's Mom and Dad with the Bride and Groom and My parents
Jace and Mommy
A little fuzzy, but you get the picture!
Aw, my little brother is all grown up!
Father and Son. I love these ones! It makes me think of something my Grandpa Putnam wrote in his journal when his sons got married. He was sad that he was losing his friend, buddy, camping companion, basketball team member, and golfing buddy. So these pictures now mean a little bit more from a parent's perspective!
Siblings! Yes, I am wearing short sleves, but my coat didn't match my dress! :) I just took it off for the pictures, then put it right back on!
Our family - Josh and kids were added later, but no pics on my camera from that!
Bella zonked as soon as we got in the car! This was on the way to the luncheon. Sweet girl.
Me and Momma at the luncheon.
Kaley's letter to Drew and Emily. Kaley wrote the letter, and her and Call drew the picture of Drew and Em hugging. Funny.
What a stud! Our kids were pretty much DONE by this point, so don't expect smiles!
This was Bella's face for most of the day. She was just exhausted and sad, unless Grandpa was around, in which case she would snuggle with him.
Drew and the boys - minus Jace.
Our family.
Em and the Bridesmaids
Visiting
This is a picture from Sunday morning - everyone wanted to wear their dresses again. Bella is smiling and somewhat more happy!

Yea! We are so excited for Drew and Emily! Congratulations!

New Year's Day Snow Fun

New Year's Day, we went up to Cox's to play in the snow. They have a big field in the back yard, and Grandpa gave them rides on the snowmobile. They had so much fun! These are fun times to remember!

A quick shot with Kaley and cousin Ethan!
This was one of the snowmen that Grandpa had in his back yard!

Ringing in the New Year!

On New Year's Eve, we picked up pizza and treats, watched "Up," let the kids eat all the junk they wanted, and celebrated the New Year at 9:30 before they went to bed (they were none the wiser!). It was quite the rockin' party! :)







Happy New Year and Welcome 2010!!!
