Mary Bratton's wedding - she loves to get married!
Mary Bratton wanted to have a wedding tonight. She has watched our wedding video and wants to do everything that we did. So after dinner tonight we let her have her wedding. She doesn't want to get married because she wants to live with us forever but she wanted to 'marry daddy because he is already a husband.'
Here she is walking down the aisle.
Tal is so sweet - he went and put on his jacket and his tie for the wedding.
She made him pretend they were driving to the reception.

Mary Bratton's mile run
Mary Bratton ran her first race this morning. 4 years old and she ran a whole mile and got 3rd place in her category.
Everyone was so sweet cheering her on. She wants to do another one! yay! Mary Bratton
Everyone was so sweet cheering her on. She wants to do another one! yay! Mary Bratton
3rd place - yay!! Mary Bratton
Her very first mile and she won a 3rd place ribbon. I was so proud of her.
She also won a door prize so she got to walk up front twice. She was the smallest little winner there so they ended up interviewing her and asking her how old she was. It was so cute!
Beau was exhausted after being pushed in the stroller.

Monkey see, monkey do! Our girls using their very good manners
