Hawaii - Reception

The reception was held at the BYU-H Aloha Ballroom.  It was such a fun reception with lots of food. A cultural experience for us! 
Allie is seriously so pretty.  Lucky girl.  Love Mason's look too. 

Pappi and Ainsley just before the reception.
Mason looks like he's yawning!
The most fun part of the reception were these dancers - they did such a good job and the music was great!  



Daddy - Daughter dance.  The last one for my Dad.  Yes, we all cried.  Especially Papa.  Giving away 5 daughters in his lifetime - and ending with Andrea that night was very special and only a dad's heart will understand.

Beautiful fresh flowers on the yummy wedding cake.
Zane was Mr Helpful and helped take down chairs after the reception.
Archie and Zaney
Ainsley liked hanging with her Aunt Anna.  
Andrea and Me.  The last wedding in my family was super special.
Allie was a good sport and played Kaleidoscope for all 500 guests to hear - on the spot!  I was nervous for her, and had no idea what she was gonna play.  She later told me she didn't know either until right before she sat down to play.  She also did a good job with the impromptu "interview" (also in front of all the guests) after she played.  Impressive.   I would have died!
Maddie Moo loves Kulia and Andrea.
The beautiful fresh flower centerpieces - my sisters arranged them for the reception. (I stayed home since I did all the invitations and pre-wedding photography! Yay!)
More of the luau dancers
Guest table with my most favorite portrait of them.  
I love how the pictures turned out and that I could do them for my sister.  So pretty!

Ainsley in August 8/12-8/31

We are all in love with our new baby girl!!! I am on my third baby photo-a-day project with her and loving it.  Posting all these ones of Ainsley in her first month of life makes my heart happy and a little nostalgic.  I miss that newborn stage!!
Her going home outfit!

Dr Beck and Ainsley on the day we were discharged - he delivered 4 of my 6 babies.  8/12

Loving the one-eye closed look with cheerleader Allie! 8/14
Pop finally got to come over and hold Ainsley.  I think he'd been busy at work or sick so he couldn't come for a couple of days or so. 8/14

8/18 Those dimples!!
Zane loves babies!!! He just loves on her and kisses her a hundred times a day and I can always find him sitting by her car seat. 8/19
Mason too, but he doesn't know how to be gentle yet and has sometimes sat on her.  We have to keep a close eye.  Luckily Zane knows that babies are not for sitting on!
8/19 Cross-eyed!
I love how small she is on our bed. 8/20
Photo shoot on 8/21.  She was 11 days old and still so sleepy and scrunchy!
Instagram post -  this is her all tired from her photo shoot.  It is so adorable.

My friend Alisyn brought over my favorite dinner after having a baby - Garfunkel Chicken and Green Rice.  It is the best and a true labor of love!
