Our trip to Kenosha

We took a weekend and went up to Kenosha for the wedding of a family friend. It was a great chance to get some quality time with Lolli and Poppi and even Auntie Marlene and Uncle Mike!
Such a fast trip, but we fit a ton in and the weather was gorgeous! Our hotel was right across the street from the outlet mall, which allowed Aaron and I a few chances to slip away and check out the sales.
The boys also got their first chance in a pool this year. Breven was content to sit with me on the edge of the hot tub while dipping his toes. And Noah was all in. Well, not completely...he wouldn't let his ears get wet, so his head never went under, but he had a great time splashing and playing with Daddy, Poppi and Lolli.
The wedding was beautiful and a great reminder for Aaron and I of what we committed to each other 7 years ago today!
Getting creative at dinner time:)
Breven getting creative at dinner time:)
I'm so excited!!! (well really, he's saying 'bah', B-code for ball. He loves to shout it whenever he spies a ball which can include anything from a picture, to an actual ball to a water tower.)
Check out those cute boys! Breven and Noah were dressed completely different, but we had to jump at the chance for B to wear the outfit N wore for both Uncle Danny & Auntie Katy's and Uncle J & Auntie Mary's weddings.
We also got a chance to visit the Jelly Belly factory and take a tour. Sadly the tour consists of a train trip watching videos around a warehouse of boxes, but Noah loved the train and the free jelly belly's afterwards were fun. Breven wasn't so excited about being confind so A and I didn't quite catch all the videos, but from what I did see, its quite the process!
They make you wear a hat throughout the train ride and B really didn't like that. The only way it worked was to wear it sailor style while holding onto both of his hands:)
Our cute group! Love you AM & UM!!!
Mama...forget the picture. Can I go check out all the candy?
Although this picture doesn't show it, Noah was so excited to take a picture next to the Jelly Belly car. Its just like our neighbor Lori's car and he was thrilled to point that out.
The boys also loved the carseat set up for our trip. Undivided attention? What's not to like?
Can I please have a snack, now?

wow, I'm actually crying. Such emotion I feel when I see such joy in the sharing of family moments with grandmas and grandpas. :) I'm glad you all had a wonderful time together.
