benjie & cari {the wedding}

As I mentioned before, we traveled out to Whitefish, Montana for the wedding of Benjie and Cari. Located right on Whitefish Lake, the lodge where the events of the weekend took place was beautiful. The cold, crisp air, the smell of burning wood, the warmth of a fireplace around every corner, cozy sitting areas, and amazing family and friends made for a wonderful wedding weekend.

I was truly honored to be a part of this couple’s special day, and it was so fun for me to be able to step back and take in all the little moments and interactions between the couple and those around them. My favorite moment of the day was immediately after the ceremony was over. They hadn’t seen each other before the wedding, so when they came out of the tent and it was just the two of them {and me, the thrid wheel…lol!}, their pure excitement and love was just so sweet!

home sweet home

This past weekend, Josey, Cohen, and I headed out to Whitefish, Montana for our friends’ wedding. It was a busy and exhausting trip, but the place was beautiful. Right when Josey walked in the door of our room, I told him that we should have brought Rory along so that we wouldn’t have to go home! I really wish we would have more time to spend out there. I guess we will just have to go back!

We found out that Cohen really isn’t a fan of riding in the carseat. Who could blame him?

He was a fan of the destination, though.

On the way out there, we came across quite a bit of this, which only made the trip longer.

You’d think that on a 13 hour drive I would get bored. Nope. Between entertaining him, trying to get him to stop screaming, feeding him, holding the pacifier in his mouth so that he wouldn’t wake up, pumping so I could feed him again, sticking the pacifier back in his mouth…I was plenty busy!

To say we were happy to get home is an understatement. Not only was the drive less than fun, I missed my Rory.

sweet baby emma

Meet my new little neice! Isn’t she SO sweet? She is the most petite little thing. Even though they are only a little more than a week apart, she makes Cohen look like a monster!

We already love her to pieces…

just like that

I came home from work this afternoon, picked him up out of his bed, and he was the sweetest, smiley little guy. So I ran and grabbed my camera. He went from “I’m so happy to see you, mama!” to “Okay, now I want my food!” just like that. So this is all I got. I guess I’ll have to be quicker next time. I was happy to snuggle with him, though.

And I’m not kidding, when I first took a look at him, he looked different. How does that happen in a matter of 9 hours? And then when I went through these few photos, I saw it. Josey. He really is starting to look a lot like his daddy.
