Audrey's Wedding Week - Part 2

Wedding Day!! We got all ready and fancy dressed.

Dad helping Dexter style his hair

Kyle and I went first to go see her sealing at the Las Vegas Temple.

We looked dang cute together

The sealing was beautiful.  Audrey was super excited, and Matt's face looked like it held some nervousness in it.
My mom met us with the kids outside as we waited for the new Mr. and Mrs. Kunkel to appear.

In our matching outfits. Dusty pink, black and grays

Only wanted me...

Here they are!

About to come out...

Introducing...Mr. & Mrs. Kunkel

See how happy they are!

Dexter wanted to give her hugs.

Big hugs all around

We took group shots and family pictures.  Uncle Bob took those and I'll have to grab a copy of them.  They're pretty funny because the kids were beyond cooperating.  Unless Ellie was being held by me or Kyle she's crying/screaming.  Dexter was done (we had to wait quite a while after getting out of the sealing for the couple to come.  Past a kid's patience point).  So during photos he decided to army crawl and lay down on the ground.  So that's what the Hansen family group shot has. Crazy kid.

After this we took the kids home, and then went to the luncheon at the Olive Garden.

At the luncheon

It was some delicious food.  We hurried back to my parent's house for a quick nap.  Then we headed to the church building to help with the cake, food and other last minute preparations.

One of the most careful times I've ever driven.  All 200+ cupcakes and 4 levels of cake were riding on it.

The table all put together.

The final result of our work

After a few hours of that hard and busy work, it was finally time to party!

Keeping the line moving

Ellie's dress was so adorable!

First dance

 Dexter found some fun friends with Zach's (Kyle's longtime friend) daughters.  They were so cute running, giggling everywhere...and then it was time for the dance floor!

Finally the kids, or at least mostly Ellie had had it.  Kyle had been dancing with her when she all of a sudden started crying and whimpering.  We thought maybe she had gotten injured, but in the morning it just seemed like she had been so exhausted.  I took the kids home, but Kyle stayed and helped cleanup.

On Sunday we went to the Hansen's ward.  Only Nub Nub and Patrice were there.  We went to their house after sacrament.  Kid's got a well needed nap, and we ate some leftover amazing cupcakes.  Then shortly after Nub Nub and the brothers got home, Kyle headed back to Utah.  When the kid's woke up from their naps I headed back to my parents'.

Then with my mom and the kid's we headed over to the Waldron's house for some game night.  Not as fun as hoped with Ellie screaming at me unless held the whole time.  But it was fun to see and visit with them.

On Saturday I had decided to extend my stay one more day so that Nub Nub could actually play with her grandkids.  It had been so busy and many errands run that she really didn't get any play time with them that whole week.

We took a final dip in the pool, but it was already chillier than the first time.  Then later that night we took the kids to the park.  They loved it tons.

There were so many awesome long slides

Finally on Tuesday morning, I took on a big task.  Just me driving with the two kids the 7.5 hours home. 

All packed and ready to go

It wasn't too bad.  The kids slept great.  Only one throwup.  I however, was exhausted and it seemed long because of that.  Too bad none of the ipods worked to get music on the large stretches of no radio, and no cd's stored in the van.
