Fairy Tale Wedding

My brother and his wonderful wife had an amazing fairy tale wedding in Malibu. I don't think anyone in attendance could have been happier that the two of them found each other. Sarah has such an amazing heart and I am so glad to have her as part of my life.
The kids had the honor of being part of the beautiful ceremony. Let me tell you, the rehersal dinner and wedding were nothing short of completely spectacular.
They rented out the Malibu Pier to have their nautical themed rehearsal dinner. It was crazy nice. If you want to see some pictures of the event, the photographer blogged them here. http://chrisschmittblog.com/2012/07/malibu-pier-wedding-rehearsal-dinner-with-sarah-and-chris/

Jack jumped right in



I think every future girlfriend will need to see this picture of them in a pink car

totally going in the baby book

We so match :)

Moving onto the wedding ...

It looks like Jack is giving them some wedding directions, but he his telling them about his tree frog

My twins and Sarah's cousins twins road in on pink power wheels to announce "here comes" and "the bride"

so cute

He was the best ring bearer ever!

Sarah was so sweet to include me and Kate in all the dressing up and getting ready. I felt like a princess too, even though it wasn't my wedding

Already a lady's man

Isn't it spectacular. The sunset was unbelievable.

Kate's Baptism and San Diego

Two months ago (I'm so behind on the blogging!!), we went out to California. While we were there, we had Kate baptized at St. Kieran's Catholic Church which was Dave's church growing up. We had a big group and everything was perfect. Here are some of the awesome pictures my friend Chelsey took.

This is Kate in the beautiful dress her nana handmade for her

 

all the Boland's in attendance

Isn't this such a beautiful picture of Kate with Nana

San Diego was the usual pleasure of seeing lots of friends and family. We decided it would be fun for the kids to have their first trip to the "world famous" San Diego Zoo. Actually, it was my first trip as well, and I was impressed. What a fabulous zoo! Here are some pictures.

Dave, Jack, and his cousin Brooklyn

It was a long line for the pandas

 I just happened to have my camera in hand when Kate sat up for the first time. So cute :)

 
 Next post will be my brother's amazing wedding ... hopefully to come in the next few days :)
