Busy Weekend!

We had a seriously busy weekend, so I'll have to apologize in advance for all of the pictures in this post. We had a bachelor party (ok, Jody did) a wedding, and a surprise baptism! What fun! I'm feeling pretty guilty, though, because I got absolutely no pictures for any of those things! What a nerd -- I was too busy taking pictures of all the beautiful children running around!

For those of you who got pictures of the happy couple at the wedding, or of Markus on his baptism day, feel free to send them my way!

The kids and I started the weekend at Grandma's house--where the girls were all trying to eat as much food as possible while pretending to watch the kids. The guys ended up staying out until about midnight. We did a ton of eating!

Meanwhile, Grandma Kay did her best to reintroduce Brielle to her cousin Shayla, who she hasn't seen since May. It was a rocky start, but stories and pizza seemed to do the trick!

On Saturday we were able to go to Jarin and Megan's wedding. It was beautiful -- really it was -- but who can notice with all these cuties around?

This is my newest niece, Chloe, hanging with her new cousins. I loved that Draden had to get in on the action when we were trying to get pics of all the girls in their pretty dresses. Doesn't he just look like he's supposed to be surrounded by beautiful women?

This is seriously probably about 1/4 of the Wolfley children running around that reception center. The people who ran the place seriously did not like us!

This is either Brielle being bossy, or Brielle trying to show Brooklyn where the food is. All I know is that they are finally talking to each other!
On Sunday morning, I finally got time to snuggle with my newest nephew, Brody. He is just as adorable in person, and even more well-behaved. It was just heaven to sit and chat with him for awhile!

That evening we were able to attend the baptism of our brother-in-law and it was definitely the way to end our weekend. The chapel was pretty packed with people who were just thrilled to watch Markus finally "taking the plunge". Lots of tears, lots of smiles, lots of hugging. We were so glad we were able to be there, even if it meant getting home at 1:00 in the morning! Thanks, Markus!

These last couple shots were taken while we were waiting to head over to the stake center. Shayla had been refusing to look at me all day, but I finally got a good shot of her beautiful eyes and those oh so lovely curls!

I had to post this picture for Uncle Cody. Brielle was completely enamored of Draden's new tool bench. The saw made noise and everything and that girl completely ignored the princess kitchen and just sawed and drilled forever!

Brielle has been seriously cracking us up lately! She definitely has her own mind and is always willing to let us know what she wants. Usually, it's either food, or dress-ups. It's been so fun to get all the girlie stuff out again, and I can't believe how much she already loves to feel pretty. This is her doing her best Sienna impression the other day...

... whadya think? Apparently, Sienna likes to have marshmallows hanging out of her mouth, because this is the only way she'd pose. Yes, she is posing. She refused to actually eat any marshmallows until I took pictures. This do took FOREVER. She grinned at herself in the mirror. Put all her jewelry on, and promptly fell asleep. So much for curls!

One of her favorite new words is "goodness". It works if she's scared, if she's being chased by her brother, if she smells bad, or if she's giving you an extra good hug. OK.

This was taken just yesterday. I lost track of her for a minute, which gave her just enough time to scale her nightstand and spill all of her clippies onto the floor. By the time I found her she had a couple of them already in her hair, and she kept demanding more. I finally had to hide the rest!

She kept staring into the mirror and saying "pretty". I couldn't take them out until she fell asleep. That was fun!
