With This Ring...

Nine years ago today...really doesn't seem that long.  But at the same time, it feels like forever.

Yep, today Jus and I celebrate nine years of marriage.  Not going to be too wordy today, but here are some shots from our special day nine years ago:
Little ol' me
And my fella
Who didn't bring black socks to the wedding
Pimpin' with the Caddy
Me with the whole fam
And one of my faves of me, my mom, sis, and Granny together
My cousin Toby, who was a junior groomsman.  His mom Traci was the flower girl in my parents' wedding, and I was the flower girl in her wedding
The Koehn Fam
Me and my girls: Shandell, Carly, Andrea, little Kate, Kristen, Jenny, and Kristin.  LOVE these ladies!
And Jus with his boys: Toby, Dougie, my brother Woody, Michael, Kenny, and Mitch
Time to get a move on!
I know my girlies remember that it was just a tad chilly out that evening!

Here comes the bride!
Birds' eye view of the ceremony
He is totally kissing the bride!
One of my faves after the pronouncement
Back down the aisle as husband and wife :)
Mr. & Mrs. Justin Koehn
The whole gang
Time to get this party started!  Arriving at the reception...
Our toasting glasses
Keep in mind...only one of us was of legal drinking age here!
First dance to "At Last"
Me & my Daddy dancing to "What a Wonderful World" (one of my very favorite songs)
Jus & Neise dancing to "You are so beautiful" by Joe Cocker
And here we are doing some chicken dancing...
Throw in a little YMCA
And we are spent!

Till next week friends!

Happy Easter!

Hope that everyone had a lovely Easter weekend!  We have a had a great week celebrating Easter!  The boys both had Easter egg hunts at school (neither of which I have pictures of, but hey, they're pretty much all the same, right?), I got to teach my littles at school about the true meaning of Easter (quite a difference from my public school days), and we had a wonderful weekend celebrating with family.  Here's what we were up to this week:
Oh, yes!  We did get snow the week of Easter!  And I scooped up Liam just long enough Tuesday morning to get a few shots in the flurries (since we don't have a true snow picture of him and he's nearly 2)
"Noooo, Mama!  Noooo!"  He was loving the snow, as little as we got.
The boys helped make these Easter "tweets" to pass out to their friends at school
And we did a little handprint art
Saturday's Bunny Booty Breakfast pancakes
Liam is always a fan of food in any form, of course
Chan really dug them, too.
We had some treats to deliver to our AMAZING neighbors on Saturday
And we egged them, too...but in a good way.
Chan hid all the eggs for his friends to find (very quiet and sneakily I might add), then rang the doorball and ran back home

And watched and waited until they found their note
Both boys had fun watching their friends hunt for the eggs we had left.
Turns out Mrs. Marie had a treat for them, too!  We love you, Marie!!
And then we had some bunny-inspired lunch

And don't you know it, that bunny came and visited us! 
Chan was super excited, as usual
And Liam just wanted to sit on his new alligator.
Oh, yeah!
Upside down, as usual.  Weirdo.
My handsome boys ready for church Easter morning
All dressed up and ready to go!
After church we headed straight to Nana's for Easter lunch with the fam
And an indoor egg hunt this year due to the rain. 
Didn't seem to bother them much, though.
The boys with Nana
And another with Momma (because we needed Lamb to lose the paci)
And we hung with Uncle Jon for a bit, too! 

After Nana's, we headed to Aunt Kelly and Uncle Doug's for our Koehn/Jones Easter meal.  Turns out Grandma had Easter baskets for us, too!  We are so loved!
And then we crashed after our sugar high.  It was fun while it lasted, though!
Well, friends...I have some kiddos to get to bed who are worn out!  I know we will all rest well tonight!

Happy Easter Friends!
