Congrats, Carly & Chase!

We had an awesome weekend in Sacramento, celebrating the marriage of David's younger sister Carly and her new husband Chase. It was awesome to see almost all of the Bennett-side of our family and also some friends.David and his 2 sisters and brother.

As usual, the Hunns were our super-hospitable hosts. We love hanging out with them and Gigi does, too. She can't get enough of her friend "Ih-belle" (Isabelle) and always wants to be right next to her (or on top of her head, whatever). She loves the rest of the family too, "Emmy," Dave, and their dog & cat, too.

It was so fun to have the family all together and we really enjoyed the hang-out time before the wedding. Gigi absolutely loved playing with her cousins (and missed Rueben!). I think she's really going to miss them.Riley & Gigi

Peter & Cade

We all (except Tiffany) happened to dress in a similar color!

The wedding was beautiful, as was the bride. Carly really went above-and-beyond with the planning for the kids at her wedding. She planned a special meal for them (complete with a personal ketchup bottle!) and even left each of them a gift bag of goodies for the reception. It was perfect, and so thoughtful.

We're so happy for Carly and Chase-- he makes a great addition to the Bennett family and we can't wait to get to know him better!

My Brother's Wedding!

Alex & his bride, Angelina, at the awesome ceremony location in Carlsbad.

On Friday, May 30th my brother was married! It was a beautiful day and a beautiful wedding and we were stoked to be a part of it.   The ceremony was at the same place where my friends Sarah & Scott were married-- a grassy area overlooking Tamarack Beach and the reception came together perfectly in my parents backyard in San Marcos. 

Us with the newlyweds!

The new Mr. & Mrs. Pavone are in Hawaii right now (boy are we jealous-- I sit typing this in the Airport as we wait to fly home to Denver).  We had a lot of fun hanging out with them and other family & friends this past week and are sad to go home. I'll be posting more pictures soon, so stay tuned!

Is June really over?

Everyone always talks about how time flies and it's true! Here are the rest of our photos from June. Gigi got to be the littlest flower girl ever possibly in her Auntie Rena & Uncle Jesse's wedding. It was a really fun night but I didn't do a very good job taking pictures. Hopefully I'll get some more pictures that actually show Gigi in her cute dress soon from the other girls.

This month Gigi went swimming for the first time in my parents' pool! She seemed to like it, or at least, it didn't bother her. :) I will post a video of that later. Gigi also went to her first bachelorette party! Although, most of the time she just hung out with Yaya.
