We ARE Complete!

It's Done!!

Russ finally committed to be with Nicole for ETERNITY!! This was such an incredible day. Everything seemed to fall right into place and it was BEAUTIFUL!! Russ and Nicole got married at 1:20 p.m. in the St. George Temple. We weren't rushed to get there and there really wasn't any downtime during the day it all just pretty much flowed!

The Incredibly happy couple!

Nicole looked so beautiful and Russ did look pretty handsome for a 30 year old!

These are the outfits Nicole picked out for us to wear. I thought they were way cute. Jo and Heather ARE pregnant for those of you that don't know...You can't really tell with all the black on . They just look like they are wearing their sashes REALLY high.

My cute baby and I!

Our good lookin' men:)
Yes Paul, your tie looks fine!

All the grandkids with their two grandma's.
Some weren't very happy about this...
Then we found this.....

I guess sometimes you just have to let them do it on their own...The only problem is there was NO way we were going to be able to get great grandma all the way to the top of those stairs.

Russ has this good friend "Trav" and my kids have really taken a liking to him. He is an excellent guitarist and is very fun to listen to and great with the kids. Well, Porter came up to me at the temple and said " Can I have a picture with Trav?" I thought it was SO cute!

I think Porter wants to be like Trav someday:)

And....Our complete family. I love it!! I am so glad my brothers picked such good girls to be a part of our family. Oh and my sisters picked good husbands too!

The 6 of Us!

And.....the 6 of us!!

Russ and Nicole with ALL their nieces and nephews!
I think they should have this many kids:)

Nicole with ALL her sisters!

The reception turned out great. We got it all decorated and set up just the way Nicole wanted! Well, we hope so anyway. It was fun to see so many people that we hadn't seen in a while and chat with good friends.

Trav, Paul and Tuff played alot of the reception and at the end Russ joined in to play his guitar and sing to Nicole. It was WAY cute.

After Russ sang to her they danced to the same song which "the band" sang and they danced their first dance as Mr. and Mrs. Key!

They then cut the cake....

I wasn't there for this because I was out decorating the tractor for them to drive away in but....

It looks like they were pretty nice to each other.

I think the night ended perfectly! Tuff brought Russ' tractor over to the reception hall and we decorated it for them to drive to their room. They ended up driving down main street across the boulevard and made it safely without any troubles.
I wish I would have gotten a picture but I will find one and post it later. Russ and Nicole looked so cute in the "John Deere Green" hats. Nicole's is pink and Russ' green. They had a sign on the back that read...
"My Wife Thinks My Tractor's Sexy"
And she does!
Congratulations Nicole and Russ!
We are so excited for this and can tell you are both SO HAPPY!
Especially Russ!

After thoughts.....
After all was said and done and the happy couple had driven away on their "Big Green Tractor" we got to cleaning up. While in the process we realized we had forgotten to take a few pictures. So, even though our hair was a little messy and we were missing our shoes we thought we had better snap a few shots.....

Heather and I with our cute little baby girls. Jo and Hailee Mae would have been in this picture but Hailee Mae had left with her daddy already.

Just my baby girl and I.
She's is such a sweetheart!
And Beautiful!!
As we were cleaning up we came out to see this....

It's the "Smith" band. I really do hope this happens someday. I don't think I would love anything more than to have my babies singing and playing instruments together. Madison's got the piano, Porter can take up the guitar. I haven't decided whether Brayd will sing and Ry will play the drums or the other way around. Whichever one will be great!!
It really was an incredible night!
Russ and Nicole even said it was "Perfect!"
