Karen's Wedding!!!

This past weekend we had an amazing time at Michael's cousin Karen's wedding in St. Louis. The wedding was absolutely perfect and Karen thought of everything! We left Emily and Jacob with my mom and Shoney with my friend/coworker Sarah.  Megan came with us and had a blast with her cousin Jessi.  Jessi stayed with us the night of the wedding and the kids were super excited to get some serious girl time together!

Megan finally agreed to a picture by the pretty flowers!

The girls all dolled up for the wedding!

Megan and Jessi really enjoyed dancing the night away! Megan was a little nervous at first and told me she didn't want to dance because someone in kindergarten told her she couldn't dance...I put my own issues aside and got out there on the dance floor with Megan, then she loved it and let loose!

More fun dancing!

She even managed to get Michael out on the dance floor!

OK, so the real fun began at the dinner table! Michael's brother Matt is a jokester and teased the wait staff all night, he managed to have an imaginary friend named SamWeeda that also received food and drink. Adam really got into it with him too.  Needless to say there was an open bar as well which made the night even funnier! For some reason Matt decided it would be funny to put a rose petal on his forehead and talked Adam into putting it on there too...then the girls wanted to do it...then other kids wanted to do it...it was hilarious! After a while though Matt needed a way out of this so the kids then went "undercover" with the rose petals hidden under their sleeves! The memories made this night the kids will have forever, it was great!

The original two!

The girls think they are in the club too!

I think we ended up with around 6 kids with petals on their forehead!

Uncle Jon and Aunt Laura!

Megan really enjoyed the awesome pool. It was a heated indoor pool that also had an outdoor portion. Megan was in heaven! She was able to swim 2 times while we were in town and loved every minute!

Michael was so impressed with Megan's skills he nodded off for a while...he'd really like me to delete this picture but it's just so good that I just can't do it!

OK so we did a very poor job of taking pictures of the bride and groom, this is the only one that sort of turned out, I'm looking forward to her professional pictures because the photographer looked like he was taking some great shots!

Friday night we had a pizza party at Sue's house because Matt was in town.  The kids had a blast and Jacob laughed the night away. They really liked teasing Uncle Matt and they managed to put balloons in his boots, Jacob pretended he was a "bad guy" to beat up, and Emily ended up with his hat!
