A Steece Wedding Weekend! WOO HOO!

First things first...this man is a SUPER-Papa!!!!

My dad watched the quads all by himself from Thursday evening to Saturday morning! (Not to mention- he was sick and the kids were sick!) Just think about that for a second...4- almost 3 year olds, and one old Papa- all by himself! Talk about a strong and brave man! I was nervous about leaving---not about the kids, but for Dad's mental well-being. These kids are TOUGH! But he did such a great job. Dad is always there in a heartbeat if we ever need help. Aunt Ashley and Cousin Carter came over to play on Friday and Mom made it out on Saturday morning. We are just SOOOOOOO thankful for all your help and love you all so much. Don't know what we would do without you guys.

THANK YOU.


So we had a WOOOOONDERFUL weekend, celebrating the marriage of my brother-in-law, Dan, to his beautiful bride, Dani! It started with a 9 hour drive from our house to the wedding festivities.



ROAD TRIP! WOO HOO! Ed and Jess came along for the ride...



On our way down south, we broke up the trip and spent the night in Austin. CHILD-free and CARE-free! ;) YIPPIEEEEE!



After a long, early morning drive, we finally arrived at Chachalaca! This place was amazing!!!



Just arrived and hugging on family and friends that we hadn't seen in a while! (Jess, me, Nance, Kate, Beth, Meg)



The kids are never too far from my mind...saw these 4 birds down by the water and immediately thought of my little flock back home...probably driving their Papa bonkers! ;)



We had the rehearsal dinner at Chachalaca and it was perfect! (not to mention- the food was amazing!)



How cute are Ed and Jess? LOVE them.



Joe's Minnesoooootah fam! Don't get to see them enough! Brad (Kate's bro), Meg, Ryan, Beth, and Pete



So glad that Paul's brother, Steve (on the right), made it all the way from Illinois! Such a sweetheart---I loved watching these two Steece boys playing together all weekend.



Me and the guys (Ed, Dan- the Groom, and Joe)

Dan and Dani---I am SO proud to be your sister. Dan, you welcomed me into your family with open arms and I couldn't have asked for a better brother-in-law (you AND Ed). I love you so much..SO SO MUCH. Dani, girlfriend, welcome to the Steeces!!! I'm BEYOND excited to have another partner in crime. ;) tee hee.

The love you have for each other is absolutely beautiful...the love you have for your family is truly touching...and the love you have shown to our children has been a pure joy to experience. Thank you for letting us be a part of your day and your lives. May God pour His richest blessings upon you and your new life together!


We cannot wait to make years and years of memories with you guys! :)
