Montana Celebrations

This past week we headed up to Montana to celebrate two very important events: my cousin Pat's wedding and Georgia's retirement. I am the oldest cousin on the Cooper side with my cousin Pat close behind. While living in Montana, the two of us were close growing up and we tried to keep in contact after I moved.

Ed and I had the pleasure of meeting Pat's bride, Erin a few years back when they took a trip to Arizona. The two of them complement each other wonderfully and it was a joy to see them get married.

Owen was torn between feeling goofy for wearing a tie, and feeling cool because he was wearing a tie like dad.

He soon learned the ladies love a kid with a tie, so he decided the tie wasn't such a bad thing.

Two of the Thorsen boys (Pat's brothers) and their lovely ladies. We love these guys. The Thorsen boys are good people.

The groom dancing with his mother. The wedding was beautiful and not a detail was forgotten. Unfortunately, Owen came down with a serious tummy ache so we took turns keeping him company in the hotel room. We managed to sneak away though, thanks to Debby, to boogie down with the Cooper/Thorsen clan.
