More Wedding!

Outdoor style cooler: it worked out great until Kelly noticed that Kevin and I were throwing pebbles at the champagne trying to see who could hit one first. She picked up a bolder and smashed 2 bottles and then we all just had a confused look on our face :-. What happened Amiga!
Bean Bean by the river.
After all that make-up at the wedding, I had to go au-naturel! - is that a word?
Jason and Kami
My Dad caught a snake eating a bullfrog.
The McKenzie River: pictures don't do it justice, it was so beautiful!
When Ruby had bursts of energy this is all she wanted to do - through rocks in the river. Trevor and Brady would have LOVED it!
Kelly and I - a couple of my only wedding day pictures.
My sis and I. She looked so stinking beautiful. Kinda J-Lo style!
My brother fly fishing. Ruby was so funny. She kept yelling at him to get out of the water.

To be honest, day two and three were a blur they went by so fast. Kelly, my sis, and I headed out early Friday morning to the resort to drop off a minivan full of stuff. On our way back to Eugene we picked up Kevin (Kelly's cousin and the photographer) from the airport. We went back to Jess's house to pick everyone up and head back out to the resort. After getting unpacked and getting the kids settled, we all to a much needed break by the river. Jess and Dan cooked the rehearsal dinner and I am glad I don't date a chef because I would weigh 500 pounds. The food was amazing and we all had a great time. The day of the wedding was a tailspin. I barely got dressed. Ruby was at her sickest point. She was pail, was listless, would hardly eat, and her eye was disgusting. We were so close to leaving before the ceremony even began to take her to urgent care, but luckily there was a doctor present who, thank god, gave us a good old fashioned house call and said that he thought we could wait. By the way, I took her in yesterday: they gave her a stronger oral antibiotic and a stronger eye antibiotic and she already is a million times better. Back to the wedding: needless to say, the girls barely made it down the aisle, me carrying both of them. Anthony took Ruby and Patty took Abby. The ceremony was such a tear jerker. I have never seen a man stair more lovingly and genuinely into a women's eyes like Dan. Between looking at him and looking at Ruby sitting on Anthony's lap(who looked so handsome in his suit), I could hardly stop the tears. My sister could not have picked a more perfect person for her and I am so happy I have a new brother! Speaking of brothers, my brother Jason and sister-in-law Kami were soooo helpful and fun to hang out with. My mom and Dad were workhorses! There were so much family and friends. Jess looked so amazing and they both worked so hard to pull off such a perfect wedding. Thank you so much to everyone who helped make the weekend so wonderful for my sister. Kelly you were a life saver and Kevin your pictures were amazing! And, of coarse, thank you so much Patti for helping out! p.s. Sunday was relaxing: we fished, sat, drank, put our feet in the water, ate pizza, drank, fish, sat:))) you get the picture! Last note: my dad seriously caught a fish, a bullfrog, a salomander, and a snake eating a bullfrog-pollywog!
