August Adventures!


Kyrie got to be the ring bearer in Maco's former player, Oz's, wedding this month!


Practicing with the flower girl!


The beautiful couple!










Rehearsal dinner-Oz(the groom) spoke so nicely about Maco and the impact he had on him at the dinner. He even teared up when speaking about Maco. So sweet!







Wedding day!! Good thing it was only 95 degrees this day, since I was 8 months pregnant!


Our beautiful kiddos! Can't believe there will be another Hamilton added to this bunch soon!
Mia looked like she could have been a part of the wedding party with her pink dress!


Handsome boys!




Beautiful!

Couldn't get the best pictures from where we were sitting.:(





They wrote their own vows! I didn't think anyone did that anymore! So sweet!!


Congrats, Mr. & Mrs. Justen Oslund!
