A Wedding

Last weekend we added a cute new sister to the Martinez family.  It was so fun to celebrate Chad and Kylie's lovely winter wedding.  I quickly learned that two year olds and weddings don't mix so well- no nap and being asked a few too many times to smile for a picture made for a grouchy girl. Thus I didn't get nearly as many pictures as I would have liked, but it was still a wonderful day.

we love beautiful Auntie Kylie

Thanks to the new addition, girls outnumber boys for the first time in the Martinez family.  Our baby will either tip the scales even further in our favor, or set us back to even.  I'm feeling a lot of pressure (as if I have anything to do with it.)

I love weddings, and I especially love weddings of people I love.  Katie and Neal's wedding was absolutely perfect.  The wedding was a month ago, but we just got all the pictures back and I had to share.

the flower man- I seriously think he was holding my bouquet more than I was

the wedding party

don't we have the cutest cousins?

my mom and I made 200 cake pops 

it was Bethany's birthday so she told everyone the B (for Ballew) on the cake was really a B for Bethany

this was so cute- somehow these two managed to escape the crowds and have some time alone

My mom says we have to wait 5 years between each wedding to give her a break (a rule that Katie already broke because she only waited 4 years after mine.)  But, this wedding was so fun, I just can't wait for the next one!

Wedding Day!

This is what we are trying to do today.  So excited for Katie and Neal to tie the knot!
