Papa & Debbie's Wedding

Five days after we returned home from Grandma's funeral, we headed back up to Washington to celebrate these two getting married.. it was great to be apart of the special occasion.

Look at the troop that came to support them..

Our crew..

The Baughman branch...

The Wirthlin branch...

Justin was deemed the "official" videographer... it was our "wedding gift" to the new couple. He did an amazing job! I'd hire him. :)

We couldn't have survived the day without these two stellar guys. They were the BEST uncles ever! We bolted for the sealing and left them in a hotel room full of kids... 5 to be exact.. and said, "Meet ya at the temple in an hour." They were such troopers...administering timeouts, loading the gang in the car and preventing disaster. Unfortunately, my kids were the terrors.. Luke crying for me and Mylie requiring the timeouts. Sorry! Wirthlins were great. :) Love these two.

Their efforts didn't stop there. They were full on entertainment committee during all the pics afterward and etc. It was no easy task. Luke couldn't get enough of the water... so Andrew was giving him appropriate doses.

Adam shadowed his little buddy trying to keep him out of the mud and didn't even complain... seriously? Awesome guys.

Matching Mylie & Abby frolicked around...

We weren't above bribery either. Ellice and I both had serious stashes in our purses.

Sweet Abby

Justin and I haven't been back to the Portland temple since we were married.. almost 7 years ago. It was fun to walk around and reminisce about our special day. Love this man even more than I did then.

I love these candid moments. I think it's my favorite shot of the whole day. Just two little buddies.. taking a break from running around.. plotting their next move. Matching ties to boot. I don't think it gets more real than that!

The sons...

The daughters..

The videographer on the job...the whole time. Poor guy. He truly devoted himself to this project and felt the pressure of getting enough footage.

No matter how many people watched this little dude, we couldn't keep him clean!

We love some sister time...

..just about as much as these two love their cousin time! Aren't they the cutest?!

After the ceremony, pictures and a quick bite, we drove back up to Olympia for the luncheon and reception. Dallin was such a good sport and accepted his assignment as the ring bearer.

After the ring ceremony, the dance party began and continued until 9pm. It was quite the exciting day! Nonstop all day long. I'm so proud of my little kiddos for toughing it out. They weren't fully recovered from the funeral trip and Luke missed some desperately needed naps. Despite all of that, they were amazing and had a great time. I loved seeing all the kiddos dancing together. It's always wonderful to be with family.

Congrats, Papa & Debbie! Thanks for letting us be apart of your big day. We love you and we're excited for your new journey together!
