Cactus & Nicole get Hitched!

The actual wedding day.  You can go here to see all of the photos from the day!

And here's some highlights:

That morning we all met at a state park for wedding pictures with Nicole's photographer.  And we took some of our own too.

Ran back to the cabin for a McDonalds lunch on the porch while Josh got a 45 minute nap in the car.  Then he woke up.  Got to take the wedding shirts off so they're still good for the ceremony!  And your pants too, I guess (Nathan)!

The news wasn't out yet, so I didn't mention this in the other post, but Brandon and his FIANCE, Julie!

So happy for them!  The ring was actually going to come to our house but it all worked out and made it to Brandon's aunts house in Salida instead.  He surprised her and proposed on the Monday after the wedding.  We were lucky enough to get to see them again on Tuesday night to offer congrats in person.  We love seeing how happy Brandon is with his choice for a bride.

Dad and his boys!

Extended family photo after the ceremony.  I like how the newlyweds are looking at each other in this one.  And how Josh is trying to snag Papa's glasses and Nana is laughing at him! Oh, and Mark is saying to Matt, "are you on your tip toes?"  Ha ha. Brandon is to thank for these photos!

I love the banners that mom Witt made to decorate the lodge.  So pretty.

And the hula hooping fun has begun!  A "First Hula" instead of a first dance. :)
