trying to get a group photo...

much harder...

than it looks


no problem getting everyone to eat at the picnic

Glory and I busied ourselves filling a million jars with freshly picked wildflowers from around the town. All picked by Dolly's great friend Diana in the background. BTW, Diana also made Dolly's wedding dress!! And a good friend made Dolly buffalo moccasins and her crown of ivy and ferns.

It was the least we could do to help Jessica and Patsy out. They put all the hard work into making Dolly's dream reception come true.

Jessica also made the cake and Will hung the lanterns. Dad made the cake stand.

A glimpse into Nana and Jack's wedding

the wedding took place in the small charming town of Sutter Creek, CA

Sunshine broke through the morning rain. Bright wildflowers drooped and freed their fragrances to the wind.

Sweet Nana, the bride could not let the wedding start without gifting the flower girl a special necklace. This beautiful day also just so happened to be Bella's 7th birthday. We named her Bella Spring, after Nana Spring, not knowing that Bella would indeed become more than a namesake, a miniature Nana.

Joey and Em's harmonic tune rode the green rushing river and I'm pretty sure Nana was not the only one with tears in her eyes.

Adie spoke of a pure love and married them

man and wife xoxo

let the celebrating begin!!

Nana made her own luscious carrot cake

dashing men

and us lucky ladies

sharing a moment

the rains came a-pouring and we all went a-running to the honeymoon suite

Spring beauties. The thing about these three is that they really are made of sugar and spice, everything nice.

the boys were able to sit still for a moment once the presents were being opened

The whole family. Just missing Mikie and Arty, plus our newest additions, Jack's two girls. We have lucked out. The kids are stoked to get some playmates. Us kids couldn't dream up a more perfectly suited man for our Nana. He is kind, loving, sincere, and is an outdoor enthusiast!

I know it's weird to leave off with a picture of their bed but I loved it and have to share how amazing it was. Plus, it's exactly where we left them.
