Brennan and Marshelle are Married!


I am so incredibly happy for this amazing couple. Brennan has always been a delight and Marshelle is the perfect honey to his peanut butter! 


This wedding of orange and green was stunning ... simple and elegant


It was a very proud day for Kelly ... with two more boys to now raise


Kelly and I happily welcome one more mom to the mix!


Beautiful ... blushing ...


Kelly, Andrew and Gavin


Cody gets a glimpse of the gardens and can hardly contain his excitement before running off to explore


Kelly gets her corsage 


Boys to be raised still ... they're everywhere!


Man, I love this kid ... um ... er ... MAN


Jonas, is that really YOU?


Grandma Watson at the line


Claire, married only a week earlier, congratulates the new bride


Marshelle's Aunt and Grandma work their fingers to the bone passing out hundreds of cookies


It was great to see Uncle Kent again!


This has got to be my favorite picture ... Brennan licking cake off his wife's face. Now that's bliss!


Marshelle's best friends

Marshelle's best ... dorks?


Marshelle's friends turn on her and take a last ditch stab at the groom


Brennan chooses Marshelle and there's a revolt! Sorry girls. He's married and you're on your own. Marshelle WINS!


Orion has taken "baby blues" to a whole new level of beautiful!


Baby Blue's proud mommy

Caramie, Emmy and Levi ... adorably adorned in greens and oranges

Grandma Watson and Grandma Thompson


A proud Dad with his two married kids... so surreal!


I'm incredibly proud of this boy ... and the man he has become. What an amazing gift to have been able to be his mom for the early years of his life. I hope to be able to be a mom and friend to him long into the future too!

Kissing Mom for Dad ... who was working out of town and unfortunately couldn't be at the wedding. Poor guy. I must say, he represented!



"How the heck does this thing go on?!"


A snugly mom pose!


Cody and a huge bowl of strawberries. 

Brennan's Aunt Lorilee Thompson and her son James. It was great to see them.

Deb and James ... happy to be "giving away" the boy who was once their baby.


Tanya and Jeff, Brennan's real mom's family who so kindly show up to all his events. Thanks guys!


Me, Caramie and little boy -- okay BIG boy -- on the way.


Three's a crowd!


Emmy and her best bud.

Strawberry covered babies and one oblivious and adorable mom... he-he

Cody picks the perfect place for his own pose

Daddy, giving away his first daughter -- or -- gaining an incredible son


What do girls do without their Daddys?


It's the dad pose!


The Ryan stance ... must be done in his honor! Miss you Elder Thompson!


Two parched brothers


The perfect cake ... beautiful and simple


Brennan's two Grandmas; Grandma Thompson (the short one from his Dad's side) and Grandma Watson (the tall one from his real mom's side)


Are we there yet?


If they had known what they were in store for, perhaps they would have reconsidered the reception. Shhhh ... don't tell.


Watson Aunties SHOWING UP. It was so great to see how many of Brennan's real mom's family came to support him!


A totally tubular (a little lopsided in her tube though) sister rubbing out the knots 


M & B ... whatever could it mean???

Our little Brennan is so blessed to have so many loving Aunties who adore him!


Chocolate mint marshmallow cookie ... oh my!


Mine!


Two mom's of the groom, sporting some dang pretty trophies. Don't let anyone tell you there isn't a gift at the end of all the hard work. Worn with pride!!


A well fed baby and a darling mom


Caramie and her long-time friend and cousin, Tiesha Darger


Ahhhhhh


Gorgeous ... and then ...


Ewwwwwww


Kissing the little baby bird on the chin


I love this little O ... Orion. He looks like Cody when he was a baby and I just can't seem to give him back to his mom.


Yes, there's his actual family... Uncle Mike and Aunt Kirstina.


"Stand like you're on a cake!" My idea of "funny"


Time to cut the cake


Look who was watching me as I was taking pictures with the other hand ... Little O!


That's the most photogenic and genuine bride ever. Perfect!


Yes, another distraction from the baby bird



Cake attack ... NO ... be gentle!



The aftermath


Licking it all off ... who was in charge of napkins?


More Auntie Deb snuggles


Can't get enough


I am completely smitten with these babies! Little Gabe and Orion


Dutifully performing her wifely duties by rubbing the sore smily cheeks of a long reception
