CRAZINESS UPDATE...LONGEST POST EVER!
More & more I seem to be doing more updating than posting. My definition...posting=posting about a single event qiuckly after it happens! Updates=what I end up resorting to, posting about every three weeks or so to catch up on our goings-on! SORRY!
Okay so in my absence from computer life in general (really it was quite nice!) we accomplished a number of things. My closest cousin and dear friend, Jennifer married her sweetheart Robby on October 18th. She had asked me to be a bridesmaid, so we were lucky enough to spend a handful of days in beautiful Garden Grove, California, participating in all of the events! It was a beautiful wedding & boy what a LOT of work!!!
Here she is while we were all getting ready...I don't even have one of her in her dress (what a BUMMER!) It was kind of a whirlwind kind of day!
The morning of the wedding I left before Blaze woke up, so by the time he could actually get close enough to touch me it had been 12 hours since I left. That was the longest he had ever been away from me, and considering he seems to be going through that 18 monthish clingy thing (just like Bennett did) he was really excited to see me! Sadly, Bennett was being shy or something...I don't have any picture of him! We did dance a few times though!
My wonderful Uncle Marty & Aunt Grace celebrate their 50th anniversary this year, so as a surprise Jenn had their wedding song played for them to dance to. It was fantastic! LOVE THEM!
Had to sneak in a few precious moments with MY sweetheart! I have the greatest husband!
Blaze enjoying some one-on-one with Papa...they were being so cute with each other. Really Blaze just loves to pull Papa's mustache, and he IS the only one who lets blaze try & jab his fingers into his eyes!
This is obviously the retrieval of the garter...
and this is Louis, Justine's (my sister) boyfriend! Look at what is around his neck! LOVE IT!
We couldn't get Blaze off the dance floor. Really, he cried when we finally left, much after bed time! He just went NUTS! He was running circles around anyone and everyone on the dance floor, bumping into at least half of them in the process! It was a riot!
We took the boys to the beach for the very first time. I think they had more fun throwing seaweed and sand then they did in the water. Granted it is cold, but they were pretty unsure about the waves at high tide, a bit daunting. However, they had fun playing and running around as to be expected!
Discovering seaweed (notice the seaweed midair!) We did manage to sqeeze in a few family pics while there so that I can replace the pictures on my wall... they are only 3 years old!
I have yet to do anything with them, but here are a few. I have darn cute kids! After all the festivities we came home to go back to real life, and to get ready for the little Halloween party my neighbor, Angie, and I threw. We had a great turn out & it was really a blast!
I had prepared bobbing for apples, however the little ones (okay, mostly Blaze!) discovered them first. He was taking bites out of them & then THROWING them, as hard as he could, back in the water. By the time the party was over, he was soaking wet! On to Halloween! We went to the Pumpkin patch to take our annual pictures with the piles of pumpkins!
I couldn't convince Bennett he wanted to be anything but a cowboy...again! Hey, at least we already had all the stuff! Blaze was a little motorcycle dude, I was some sort of a quick, thrown together, pirate maiden thing, and Adam took the cake as the security guard!
We went to our ward trunk or treat & then hurried off to the Cowley's party. The Dads took the kids trick or treating together. Then they came back and Melissa (one of the other moms) had put together bobbing for apples (oh no...not again!) and the no-handed, eating a donut from a string game. Bennett finally figured to push the donut up against the other kids for stability...it worked! They had fun and it was hilarious to watch!
