Ivan's Wedding

So my little brother Ivan, who is the baby of the family got married again this past month.  We were invited and able to go to the wedding.

Ivan seems really happy which he has not been for a long time.

Beckett was his usual monster self.

Dillon was my big helper he kept track of all the kids for me and ran around doing what ever I asked him to do.

My mom made the cake, and she was really disappointed with how it turned out.  It was a very liner cake, so any shifting or settling (which cakes always do) was accentuated.  She felt like it was all topsy tervy.  I don't think it looked too bad.

Elleree was one of the flower girls.  We were all disappointed, because the dresses didn't show up in time, so they had to borrow some.  Oh well Elleree was cute any way.

Pierce was the ring bearer and did a fantastic job.  The wedding and reception was in Dakota's parents backyard.

The ceremony was hotter than hell, and I'm not even going to apologize for saying that, because it was.  I swear we all almost melted.  All of the men in Ivan's line had to wear pink shirts, which they all absolutely loved, NOT.

Dakota was beautiful, and cute as a button.

Beckett found a hole in their backyard that he loved to play in.

I had to put this in because this is classic Beckett is always tackling Elleree and hitting her.  Even though she is twice his size.

That is the look of the monster.

Elleree changed out of the dress as soon as she could.  She said she didn't like it, she is kind of a snob sometimes.

Some of my cousins were there.  This is Garrett, he is the same age as Ivan.

The kids were constantly beating him up and he was such a good sport.

The cute couple before they cut the cake.

Dakota got him soooo good.  I was really proud of her.

The first dance as husband and wife.

Which didn't last long, because Pierce and Truman wanted to join in too.

Truman thinks Dakota is the bomb.  So does Ivan's daughter Pasley, she was not able to come to the wedding.  She calls Dakota "my kota", it is way cute.

All the kids got their grove on, and we had a lot of fun.

Two of my mom's sisters where able to make it to the wedding, so that was awesome.

 My mom with Dillon, he wouldn't dance with me, but he would with her.

 My cousin Betsy and I (and my brother Heath).  She is one of the cousins from the family we are supper close to.  She lives in Arizona, so I don't get to see her as much as I would like.  I didn't hang out with her enough when she was here.

That was Ivan's wedding.
