A girl and her best friend...

Harper is over the moon about her best friend.  She talks about him ALL the time.  When she experiences something new, such as the splash pad here in Omaha for, she says "We will have to call Derek and have Ryder come here so I can show him all about it."  Almost everyday she mentions going to his house, having him come to our house, or going somewhere together.  We live 60 miles apart so this task isn't an easy thing each week.  We often spend our time at the lake together where they run, jump, yell, swim, and play there little hearts out.  She has been asking lately to wear a pair of his jammies to bed.  She also wants to wear only shorts and a t-shirt just like him.  Last night she was all teary eyed because she couldn't go to Canada with Ryder to visit his grandparents in a couple weeks.  WHOA..thats deep.  Soon enough when Asher gets bigger, Liv and Asher will be best of friends too.  The girls sure do love those Reynolds boys;)

 Sisterhood

 the wedding party

What amazing pictures from an amazing day.  Susan & Taura Horn (Taura Horn Photography) photographed these beautiful pictures as their gift to the bride and groom.  Susan was a colleague of David's before she retired.  They also had a main photographer so there will be more pictures to share:)  Kate and David wed at Kate's parents house in Grand Island, Ne on a beautiful Friday evening.  Everyday that week leading up to the big day we were checking items off a detailed list thanks to Kate's Aunt Patti.  We tied up all the loose ends such as rolling napkins, hanging lights, gluing programs, etc.  It's crazy all the things that you don't think about as a guest of such event.  All the hard work paid off that Friday night.  The girls were the flower girls and Kate's nephew Xavier was the ring bearer.  Shannon & David's brother Reed stood up for them.  Everything went off without a hitch or at least the guests didn't know about it;)  Like they didn't know that just before they were all supposed to walk out the door (like seconds) to the ceremony Liv had a MAJOR meltdown crying.  Why you ask?  I took her chip away.  Once the chip was back in her hand, she stopped crying and I wiped the tears away sending her out the door to throw flowers.  That's right, she stood up in the wedding with a flower girl basket in one hand eating a chip in the other.  The ceremony was beautiful and perfect in every way.  We had an fabulous dinner under the big tent on the tennis court in their backyard and then danced our bums off all night.  Harper LOVED dancing with all the bigger kiddos and Liv snoozed during the reception after a long day with no nap.  We had a great day/evening!  Congratulations to two beautiful and amazing people.  We are so excited that you have each other and that we have you both in our lives.
