The last and a lot of first's

Wow I am behind....again! We have had a big month! On May 23, Pat's youngest brother Jody got married in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. He is the last of the six Stier siblings to tie the knot. It's kind of sad to think we won't have anymore family weddings!

We had an awesome time! Lily did great on the first flight which was a huge relief for me. Every morning Pat would get up with her and take her to breakfast so I could rest and take my time getting ready. They would follow that up with a swim in the pool.

 

When I say Lily loves the water, I mean she loves the water! She began most of her morning naps in the pool and finished them in the cabana.

The wedding was original and exactly what I would expect of Jody and Amy. She looked beautiful and the ceremony was very sweet.

 

I ended up with way more pictures like this then the previous one. Haha!

The reception was on the beach, laid back and full of dancing. When the music started Lily began bouncing and swinging her arms and legs (she gets her moves from Pat)!

Two peas in a pod!

The groomsmen busting a move!

We spent our last day on the beach. I am glad that Lily's first experience was in such a beautiful place. I am disappointed I didn't make a point to take her there more because she loved it. Pat took her out in the water and she laughed when the waves splashed her face. I imagined taking adorable pictures of her on the beach but she was too into the sand to take her eyes off of it for one second. She wiggled her feet, dug with her hands and managed to get a few handfuls in her mouth while I was busy trying to get the perfect pic.

Please excuse Pat's bathing suit, he was trying to fit in!

 It was the first time in months we had the opportunity to spend days on end together as a family and we didn't waste one minute of it. We had a blast catching up with family while celebrating the happy couple!
