kitty kate's wedding

{huge blog alert}

My cousin, Katie, got married a few weekends ago.  My brain is still trying to process the fact that she's old enough to be a Mrs.  She's still suppose to be my little cousin who is more like the little sister I never had.  Growing up we were always together with she and Chris, I have so many wild crazy memories with them.  Not many of my childhood memories don't involve them.  I'm so very happy that she has found her Chris and that they are now Mr. and Mrs. Kolls.

Congratulations Katie and Chris!  Thanks for much for letting me be apart of your day.  It was a wonderful weekend.  You two are meant for one another and have the sweetest souls.  We are so glad that Chris is officially a part of our crazy amazing family.  You were the perfect bride and I'm so glad you found your perfect groom.  Your day was the best.  We love y'all.  

backyard camping with daddy

The boys decided to try and camp out in the backyard the other weekend.  Asher loves being outside so we knew he would love spending some time outside at night.

{checking out his digs for the night.}

{ready to camp!!}

{MOM!!! get maeve out.}

{sister!  it's boys only tonight.}

{we put maeve in bed and then the three of us headed outside for a few minutes.  trav was just as excited as asher was.  i know he's wanted to do this with "his guy" since the day he was born.}

{loving every single minute of being outside.}

{two super excited boys!!}

{looking at the stars.}

The boys made it outside until about 10:30.  Asher was just so pumped about being outside and wanted to keep looking at the fire that he didn't really want to go to bed.  It was hot and Trav didn't mind coming inside.  They will definitely try it again this fall.  I'm so glad that Travis has "his guy" to do all guy things together with.  I love watching them do things together and watching the excitement in them both.
