Carrie and Ian's Vermont Wedding Weekend!

Mike, Oliver and I (and our traveling nannies...aka Grandma Karen and Jean Guthrie...see below) headed over to Burlington, Vermont for our dear friend Carrie's wedding to the wonderful Ian Wyatt. The wedding was at their home in Huntington, just outside of Burlington.

The Bride, Carrie, holding Mr. Oliver in front of her beautiful home.

Oliver in the hands of the traveling nannies, Jean and Grandma Karen. Oliver learned how to drink out of a big-boy bottle that night.....ask the nannies for details :)

As usual, the big day began early for the bride and the bridesmaids.

and the final touch of the Orange bow!



The guests arrived at the house and were seated on hay bails arranged at the ceremony site next to the creek that runs through the property.

And here come Mr. and Mrs. Wyatt....ready to party it up!

Such cute place cards....but who is Oliver StePHens?

Conner, Kendall and Oliver all dressed up for the Big Party.

The Kirkland girls doing our (thank goodness!) final performance of Tiffany's "I Think We're Alone Now." This all stemmed from a lip-sync contest in the 6th grade!

Mike, Oliver, Todd, Conner, Matt and Kendall. Oliver's dad is the crazy one.

Kristy and Harvey being wall flowers.

As a wedding present, Ian had this beautiful painting of their Vermont home done for Carrie. Note that Ian is driving the John Deer and Carrie is picking flowers from their garden. Such a wonderful gift!

And yes, there really is a John Deer in the yard.

Carrie, Keenan and Sue at the 'day-after' BBQ.


After the BBQ we headed over college friends Brooke and Chris Gillman's house in Burlington for a wonderful dinner and some catching up.

Here they are will Lilly and Oliver.


Finally we were headed home. Here is Oliver in the airport....it was a long day- not sure what happened to the hair!

Mike's pilgramage

Mike is a happy man! We made a trip out to the Ben & Jerry's factory in Waterbury, Vermont and he is in hog heaven!

Mike enjoying the sample of Cake Batter ice cream at the end of our tour- YUM!

Jill, Matt and Kendall joined us for the trip!

The family in a big pint of ice cream.

The ice cream Graveyard- the place where ice cream flavors of the past go to die and be remembered. There were some pretty silly flavors there including "Making Woopie Pie" and "Economic Crunch."
