Kimmie and Kody's Wedding

Crosby was the sign bearer for Kimmie and Kody's wedding! He walked down the aisle right before Kimmie holding up a "Here comes the Bride" sign. He was a rock star! 

 Cros and I went to Bismarck a day before the rest of the family so he could be at the rehearsal. He jumped in right away helping Kimmie's mom with decorations. I love this kid so much!!! 

 Picture time!! My favorite moment was when we transitioned from one spot to the next and Crosby took Kody by the hand and walked with him. He is so sweet. Kimmie was as beautiful as ever and the day was perfect. What a blessing!! 

 We danced the night away and the boys LOVED the candy bar. What an amazing night! Congratulations Kody and Kimmie!!

Grace's (Beer-idal) Shower

As I mentioned in my last post, we will have to miss Kevin and Grace's wedding this summer. Because of that, we made the big road trip to MSP so I could make it to her shower. The aunts planned a unique, "beer-idal" shower at a local brewery. We got the tour and then ate dinner and Grace opened up some gifts. It was super chill and so much fun to sit around and catch up with all the aunts and cousins!

 The guest of honor!

So much laughter, stories told, silliness, catching up, and fun!

 Look at Shannon's muscles! And, I love my family!! 

 Great Kate showing off the cake!

 The whole gang at the end of the tour. Such a fun night!!

4th of July Weekend, Part 1

What an incredible weekend! We were able to see both of our families, meet our newest nephew, attend a cousin's wedding, go to the Spark cabin, celebrate the 4th of July, and watch the USA Women's soccer team win it all:) But let me back up...

 Our first stop was Eden Prairie. The wedding was "adults only" so we wanted to bring the kids down a day early to get time with Nana, Papa, Uncle Dave, Christy, Shan and the girls. It was a beautiful afternoon so we played outside, visited and enjoyed a gourmet feast put on by my parents.

 Cooper and Sawyer wanted a "5 year old" picture but Crosby snuck in:)

 Cousins! They really enjoy each other which is such a blessing.

 Next stop was Stillwater where we set up camp for a couple of nights. The boys LOVE time with their grandparents and time in the pool!

Mimi and Gramps watched the boys all day while Tim and I got to celebrate with Chris and Caitlin as they got married! It was so sweet to get some undistracted time with the family. And by undistracted I mean no kids around:)

Most of the girl cousins at the reception. We had hours to catch up over dinner...

...and then hours to get crazy on the dance floor. Tim surprised people with his moves. Sorry for the blurry picture but the dance was just SO. MUCH. FUN. and I wanted to capture it.

 The next day we made a quick trip over to St. Paul to meet the newest Spark boy, Isaac Stephen! We got to see him when he was less than a week old! The boys might have been more excited to run around with Ezra...

 ...but they slowed down enough for a couple of pictures!

 Cousin love!

Rachel and Drew's Wedding

Two former Cru students got married this May. Our boys were SO EXCITED as Rachel has babysat for them many times and they adore her. Crosby was a little sad though as he made it very clear that he wanted to marry Rachel:)

 We haven't been to very many weddings with all three boys. They were a little ansy but did pretty well! 

All dressed up! 

 When we exited the sanctuary the boys cut to the front of the receiving line to hug Rachel:) 

 I love when the boys wear ties! They didn't fight me much on it either.

 There were a bunch of disposable cameras at the wedding for guests to take pictures. Rachel and Drew, I can't WAIT for you to develop the cameras that our boys had!! Hahahaha! They had so much fun taking a million pictures!

 Lots of love for Kimmie!

 And of course some pics with the beautiful bride! Cooper was running around with a buddy and missed out. What a fun night to celebrate with the Jaegers!!

Ari and Brian's Wedding

Brian and Ari, two students that have been involved in Cru at UND, got married last weekend. They asked Tim to officiate their wedding and do their pre-marital counseling. What an honor for him! The wedding was near Brainerd, MN and despite the craziness of life on the road with three little boys, it was a pretty fun time. I only wish I would have gotten some video of the boys at the wedding dance. They. Cut. Up. A. Rug!!

Ari coming down the aisle. After raining all morning it ended up being a beautiful day. 

 Cooper and Crosby fought with me a little bit as we were getting ready. Crosby would NOT let me put a tie on him and he ended up wearing Crocs:) Cooper wore his tie for about an hour. Just long enough for some pictures! 

 The beautiful chapel on the camp property.

 Tim and Brian, the groom!

 The boys striking a pose. They loved being around all the college students. They get so much attention:)

Kimmie stayed with us over the weekend. She wanted to go to the wedding and didn't have a place to stay and I was grateful for the help as Tim was gone so much with the rehearsal and set up. Here we all are!
