Maggie Brothers/Joel Buckley Wedding Celebration



What a beautiful day...what a beautiful bride. Everything was perfect! Maggie's wedding took place near Snohomish, Seattle, on acres of farmland, under a floral archway. It was breathtaking! Not only was this day so special for Maggie and her family, but it was special time (long overdue) spent with our friends and their families. Here are the photos celebrating Maggie's marriage to Joel.


The girls on the Town for Maggie's Bachelorette Party in Las Vegas!



We were handed tickets (in the lobby of our Las Vegas hotel..Mandalay Bay) to Gnarles Barkley, who happened to be playing at the pool! This is Bree and me at the backstage party.



The rehearsal & rehearsal "BBQ" was followed by a bride's party vs. groom's party softball game.

We had so much fun getting the venue ready the day of the wedding.



Scott and the kids had a special day together too!

Maggie & Joel met right before the ceremony to take pictures
with their dog, Marley, by their side!


The ceremony was breathtaking...and a little teary-eyed!






The reception was so much fun! It was full of eating, drinking, a candy wagon, cupcakes, and lots of dancing!


The kids had fun with our friends too!

Summer is in full swing!

Our growing little peas-in-a-pod!



Not much new at the Dixon household. We are enjoying our summer with day and evening trips to the beach and yacht club pool, we've had a few days out on the boat, and have spent a lot of time just relaxing together. Scott is busy with Junior Guards, and we are all busy with the annual Lifeguard summer activities. We have had a blast visiting with our dear friends! We are very much looking forward to our weekend in Seattle. I am in my friend/former roommate/sorority sister Maggie's wedding. It will be a great celebration, as well as a special time spent with our friends. We will even get a few day after the wedding as a family to explore the city! I will send out more pictures from our summer activities once they are downloaded (that seems to be my hang-up). Here are just a few!

Cute bath pose!



Poor Taylor had the Flu pretty badly at the beginning of summer.
This was her favorite thing to do while she wasn't feeling well.





My Teaching Partner, Jill Brick, and me on the last day of school...Cheers!

(yes...we match...we received our cute outfits from our students/patent's year-end gift)

Happy 4th of July from our little miss Freedom (nice pose..I think I see Sheena in this one)!



Notice her nice "shiner" in this one. Just a little face plant on the sidewalk!
