Wedding Weekend

This past weekend Ryan and I had the opportunity to go to California without our kids for Ryan's brother's wedding. It was held in Laguna Beach and it was a lot of fun. On Friday night Ryan had the wedding rehearsal at the hotel and I just hung out with my sis-in-law Amber drinking virgin strawberry coladas. After the rehearsal was over they had a dinner at a steakhouse nearby. It was held outside and we had a wonderful private area with lots of food and good company. Here I am with my almost sis-in-law (at the time) Erin. She is so much fun to be around and is so nice.
Here are all my Ferrell sister-in-laws (except AnnaMarie) . We had a great time together.

On Saturday we were able to go to breakfast at one of our favorite places in Irvine and then we got to visit some of our favorite people the Byers. It was so much fun to catch up with them. Ryan had to get to the hotel early to take pictures so I just hung out with Amber again. The wedding was on the beach at the beautiful Montage hotel and Ryan and I couldn't resist this photo opportunity.

The reception was absolutely gorgeous. They had an awesome band and a photo booth to take pictures in.

The reception lasted until 12:15 but we only lasted until 10:30. We were so tired. It was fun to have time on our own but we were glad to get back to our girls. Thanks mom, dad, and Christin for taking care of the girls while we were gone.

Congratulations Erin and Scott

Teddy Bear Parade

Last Friday Hailey's school had a teddy bear parade for the kindergarten classes. They each had to decorate something they could push or pull their teddy bear in. Hailey chose to decorate her baby stroller with a bunch of ribbon and then we curled it all. It took a while to do but she loved it. She had a great time and it was fun to watch her walk around the school so proud of her float!

Blessings

I have so many blessings in my life but the 4 most important ones are Ryan and the girls. Our life has had so many ups and downs but I am so grateful that Heavenly Father has given me these 4 people to share it with. They bring so much joy to my life. I love you Ryan, Peyton, Hailey, and Alexis.

Ryan giving the girls a ride around the block on Grandpa Ferrell's new 3 wheeler he had shipped from China. (Don't worry, they always wear a helmet now so it is safe.)
Here are the girls in the matching dresses all the Ferrell granddaughters wore in the family vacation picture.

This one is just to show Peyton and Hailey that Alexis really does look up to them.
