Ryan and Melissa's Wedding Day


Ryan and Melissa got married this morning in the Mt Timpanogos Temple. The ceremony was really good, and we are all so excited for them! Again, thanks to Kyle and Kels for watching our boys so we could go. When we got home, we told Lincoln that we had gone to Ryan's wedding, and that Ryan had gotten married to Melissa, so now Melissa was Lincoln's aunt. Lincoln made a thinking face, and then said, "Yuck!"...long pause... "ants in the kitchen, I squish 'em."


Their reception was in this awesome barn out in Mapleton. The kids all thought the greatest part was the fact that there were cows inside a fence only a few feet away. Ivan even managed to step in a cow pie.


Kelly took some cool family pictures for us while we were waiting for the rest of the groomsman and bridesmaids to show up for pictures.


The reception was a lot of fun. They had a live band playing, and Lincoln is quite the little dancer it turns out.


They also had a pinata, which the kids went crazy over.  Lincoln was so funny watching the pinata. He was too scared to run out and grab the candy while all the other kids were grabbing for candy, so he'd wait until they were done, then he'd run out and grab some random piece of the pinata, and come running back to me very excited, "Look Mom, I got a eye ball!" He didn't quite get the idea, but hey, he was thrilled with his eye ball and pieces of cardboard and tissue paper, so all was well.
We stayed as long as we could, but Ivan ended up falling asleep in the arms of some random stranger (Debbie had taken him for a minute so Aaron and I could dance and as soon as she sat down with him, he reached for one of her friends' husband that was sitting next to them and promptly fell asleep.) so we decided to head out. But I heard Ryan and Melissa's get-away was awesome. :)
