Illumifest 2011
Jesse and I decided to take Easton to the Illumifest in West Des Moines. In all reality Jesse and I really wanted to take advantage of the free air balloon rides. There were tons of people there. Too many people for our liking. Unfortnately we weren't able to take a balloon ride due to the wind coming up and the safety issues for the balloons and the people. We still had a great time and it was cool to see the air balloons all lit up.

Jesse's and I's big day
This month sure has gone fast with it being Jesse and I's reception month. Jesse and I took off a couple days early before our reception so we could get things in order and smooth out any rough edges. It was good to be home but also stressful. Easton had a great time playing with his cousins and with grandma and grandpa. I don't know what traveling does to him but for some reason when we travel and mess up his schedule he always gets constipated. Poor little guy...definitely wrong timing for him to be miserable.
Our reception turned out amazing. We had a lot of great friends that helped decorate and pull everything off. I don't think it could of been any more perfect. Thanks to my parents for all their help and making my dream reception come true. Even though we had a couple sore spots with the reception (dinner was cold and could not keep up on refreshments) and the dj (didn't have any country songs, spent all of dinner figuring out what songs he could play) it still turned out great and everyone hopefully had a great time. Wish the weather would of been better but everyone beat standing in the cold to take family pictures and didn't complain. The pictures actually turned out really well and all my ideas were used. We had lots of friends and family travel to join us in celebrating our first year of marriage. Even the little ones did pretty well. Wish we would of had an over night babysitter though so my sister wouldn't of had to cut her evening short. The boys were definitley ready for bed since it had been such a long day. Jesse and I ended up dancing the night away and taking lots of fun pictures with our friends. My moms idea of the neon bracelets we're a hit. Overall we had a great time spending it with family and friends. Thanks to everyone who was able to make it possible!!!
