Colorado Trip

This last weekend my family (minus Akilah because of work) traveled to Colorado for my Aunt's wedding! It was such a good weekend and I had a good time catching up with all of my family. Lyric did such a wonderful job on the car ride to Colorado and back (7 hour trip one way) and slept great while we were there too. It was so fun as a mom to get to show off our baby and have everyone coo over her! Lyric did a great job while we were there and was such a trooper at constantly being thrown off her schedule. 

We started our weekend on Saturday with a big breakfast at my Grandma's house, followed by most of the family playing golf, and some of us hanging at my aunt's house catching up with the kids.

Later on Saturday evening we all had a dinner together before the big day!

On Sunday we got up and went to church for my Aunt's wedding! 
It was a beautiful wedding and such a happy, short ceremony!

WEDDING TIME!

Brandon being honored on for his service to our country!

Children's Time. I love Children's Time in church and I hope as Lyric grows we can find a church like this in Pocatello or wherever we live. When I was little growing up in a Methodist church we use to have Children's Time. The Pastor calls all the children up to the front and does a simplified lesson for the children on what he will be speaking about in church that day. After the lesson the children either go back to sit with their parents or go to the nursery!

Lesson on the unity in marriage. He had a local artist come in and create this Male and Female out of clay as he was giving his lesson.

After the wedding my family went back to my grandparents house to relax for bit before heading on to the after party!

Time for the After Party!!!! There were a lot of people at the after party, which was held at my Aunt's house. It was such a good time, the weather was nice, and the people were wonderful. I took a lot of pictures of everyone drinking from the Porron, but I won't post them all here :) Lyric slept for most of the party and of course woke up right when it was time to eat dinner.

Drink up in the celebration of marriage! The bottle they are holding up is called a Porron. It resembles a cross between a wine bottle and a watering can. The top of the bottle is narrow and can be sealed off with a cork. Stemming upwards from the bottom of the pitcher is a spout that gradually tapers off to a small opening. It is shaped such that the wine stored inside it will have minimal contact with the air, while being ready to be used at all times. (Taken from Wikipedia!)

We had such a wonderful trip to Colorado and I love my Rose family very very much! I am also happy my aunt married such a wonderful guy and we got an awesome new cousin out of the marriage too!

On our way home Lyric decided to have major spit up problems, stay away for most of the trip, and have one MEGA blowout haha

She also has been given the nickname of Slobber Bomber like her dad was called when he was a little baby!
