Stewhit Reception: The Take Home Game

So we flew down to Utah for Stewhit's wedding and reception a couple of weeks ago.  That was fun.  Then we drove down to Medford (which is in Southern Oregon, not Western) for Maristin's wedding and reception.  That was fun, too.  Then we had Apple Blossom and Stewhit's at home reception...if it weren't for the giant bounce house my kids would have lost their little minds.

It took a lot of work (mostly by other people), but we got the patio, waterfall and new stairs ready for the reception.  Then we (but mostly other, more creative people) decorated the new patio/waterfall area.  Krissy, Bonnie, Mom and others (I'm not sure, I know Lesa was there and another Bonnie, maybe) made it look pretty cool.

DeAndra spent her time telling me that she didn't like pictures while posing for pictures.

Dad was just glad that everything came together at the end and he could finally sit down and relax.

Rissa was pretty busy checking the ice cream machine to make sure it still worked.

Whitni and Stewie both put on their wedding clothes for one last chance to show off.

"Mmm...delicious soft-serve!" 

"So the gun that I'm going to use to shoot the ice cream machine is this big."

Donna Coggins made a ton of delicious pies.

Krissy was a trud about letting me take her picture, so I had to try and sneak them in.

She didn't like it and threatened me.

Jensley was in heaven with all the attention and ice cream.  Those are the two things that girls in our family can't get enough of.

Things really did look good.

Bonnie guarded the ice cream machines to make sure that no one made a huge mess (namely Marissa).

It was a pretty good place to relax and party.

Krissy and Rachael did a lot of hard work and finally had a chance to sit and relax.

At some point the kids tipped over the bounce house.  Ryker wasn't happy, even though he came up with the idea.

Jens had no problem finding people to feed her pie, ice cream and other delicious items.

Chayo came out with her boys who ate a lot of ice cream, but not as much as you'd think.

The kids played so hard in the bounce house that they got sweaty, even a lady like Kate.

The kids all crashed pretty hard at the end of the night.
