Wedding Week

Bailey and I headed to Albuquerque early before Thomas' sister, Katie, got married last Saturday. What a great week we had! We loved spending time with our family and friends! **This post has lots of pictures!
Nana pulled out a box full of fun dress up things--necklaces, bracelets, scarves, and "blankets".
Reading to Baby
"Baby eat" was what Bailey said throughout the week. She even shared her snack with Baby.
Bailey helped Nana and Papa feed Dakota everyday. We would have to remind her that Dakota only ate breakfast and dinner and that she couldn't feed her all day long.
Bailey also gave Dakota treats after she finished her breakfast, dinner, and anytime she could sneak into the pantry and grab a bone! :) We had no idea that Dakota was in her last week of life. She played and acted like she always did, the sweet dog that she was. My parents had to put her to sleep on Friday morning after her back legs gave out and she couldn't move at all. We had Dakota for 11 years and she was such a good dog. We loved that she would sleep in, get the newspaper, cuddle up next to you, and chase a ball forever. Kota Girl, we miss you!
We headed out to the McCall's Pumpkin Patch on Wednesday and had so much fun! Bailey loved the general store and could have played with the fruit and veggies all morning.
Ethan, Shane and Jessie met us there and Bailey jumped right in their wagon.
Whee--down the slide with Jessie!
Ready to drive the big tractor



This is a sneak peak at Bailey's Halloween costume. Thank you to Nana who made such a cute ladybug!
Delicious Rehearsal Dinner at the Fitzpatrick's house. Bailey was entertaining everyone (I love the look on TJ's face!).

Our friend, Nick, took our pictures Sunday evening and they turned out awesome! He is a talented photographer and was so great with Bailey.


I leave you with these parting shots... Bailey and Thomas making some crazy faces!

Oh what a fun trip! I'm jealous we weren't there! Addy and Bailey would have had such a wonderful time taking care of their babies :) So sweet. And I love the pics Nick took. They are so, so great! I'm thinking I need a 5x7 of the one with all 3 of you (wink wink). We miss y'all!

Of course I love all the pictures! Bailey in her overalls and wedding dress- too stinkin' cute! So sad to hear about Kota girl. We will miss her dearly.
Your family is so beautiful. Can't wait to see you at Christmas!
