a big day for Benjamin

 Check out this before picture. Now don't judge us for not taking care of that mop of curly hair sooner, but Ben recently had his very first haircut. Yes, it appears it got a bit out of control. The baby curls were just so stinking adorable and the wild child look was working! Plus, we had heard stories about children losing the curls after the first haircut, so we just weren't in any hurry. The crazy, curly hair was just part of Ben. A part we love! But Ben and Mommy had been going to the pool, and this mop of hair looked a lot different when it was wet and in his eyes and all different lengths. Truly, it was getting to be too much. So it was that we found ourselves at Kiddie Kutters for Ben's first haircut on June 10, 2012. (Two years and two months after he was born.) Ben was really excited to get to sit in the white car. He was also given matchbox cars to hold during the cut, but just like his big sister, it was the lollipops that did the trick. We didn't want to go real short with the new look, and as it was it took us some time to get used to. He looked so much older and more like a boy. The good news is... Ben kept the curls!

Photobooth!


Matt and Leah had such an amazing wedding. One cool thing they made available at the reception was a photo booth, complete with an attendant and crazy props. It was free for the guests, and some guests (those whose names rhyme with Tree...) took advantage of the booth and spent a lot of time in it!

A Rio Reception!











What a fabulous reception! The Rio in Fort Collins is an awesome place to party. Thank you Matt and Leah!

A few more of the flower girl...

Excuse me, is that a REAL horse?






Matt and Leah Tie the knot










Bree got to be a flower girl this May in an amazingly beautiful and fun Fort Collins wedding. Her (second) cousin Leah said her I do's to Matt on the campus of CSU. Bree took her flower girl duties seriously and did an excellent job following directions. Five is the perfect age to be a flower girl!

Rehearsal: Matt and Leah


 This May we got to spend some time in Fort Collins for a very special event - Matt and Leah's wedding! What a fabulously fun weekend it was. Bree was thrilled with her role as flower girl. She and I spent two nights in our hotel and Dan came up to photograph the nuptials and spend one night with us. Big thanks to Corinne and Simon for taking excellent care of little brother, who would have been bored! 




Silly!
