Yesterday's good times.

Yesterday, I worked on tidying up the garage a little. It's hard to do with a busy 2 year old and a 3 month old. Chasing wasps away took up a great deal of time too.

We just got new shelves put up in our garage and I was using a ladder to put the tubs and boxes on the shelves. Then of course, Chelsea the monkey decided ladders were fun for her.

Just hanging out, eating soda crackers right from the bag. I kept telling her to be careful or she'd fall and crack her head open. When she did climb down, she turned around and told me, "See mommy? I not crack my head open. It's still here." and points to her head. Little smartie pants.

Then, after supper, we did one of my most favourite things, and we washed the cars together. It was such a beautiful night, until the mosquitoes came out in full force!

And I just had to include one picture of G man. Such a cutie!

Ryan got married! Woot woot!

My brother got married this weekend. The wedding was on Saturday so we drove down on Thrusday. We drove the 4 hour trip in record time with two kids (4 1/2 hours!) and had a few days visit before the wedding. Good times.

Saturday arrived. It was a great, HOT day to have an outdoor wedding. The wedding was in a park, right next to a swing set. Chelsea had fun before the wedding.


Chris and I pinned the flower on my brother's suit.



Hello Best Man and grumpy little girl! (Seriously, the wedding was scheduled for 2:00 - that's prime nap time!)

Aunty Jen had a lot of Chelsea time this weekend.

Gavin started crying so I missed getting pictures of the bride walking and the wedding ceremony, but I did get one once all was finished. Yay - you are married!

Then Jennifer and I took the kids and headed to a hotel room - in hopes that Chelsea would take a nap, and that Gavin might have some quiet time.

No such luck.

Instead, babies got naked...

and Chelsea did the wiggle, wiggle, wiggle dance...

Then, it was time to get the kids redressed and soon it was supper time. Chelsea had no problems joining the head table for something to eat.
She even stole the bride's icecream!

Then, the best man gave a funny, eloquent and heartwarming speech... written by me, of course!


The cake went from this...


to this...


to this...


and there is a picture of me somewhere eating a piece, but I don't have that photo yet.

Then, there was dancing...

lots and lots of dancing... Even Grandpa and Gavin had a few dances!

Chelsea tore up the dancefloor! Here she is dancing with Grandma!

and we finished the night with bubbles again.
The wedding is over. Now comes the rest of your life. Congratulations Ryan and Amber!
