rebecca and oliver's wedding...final part

Ring bearer part 3

Rebecca and Oliver's wedding-part 2

Rebecca and Oliver's wedding part 1

This is the first of probably 4 million posts about this wedding but Mommy can't help herself. She took a whole lot of pictures (that may, in part, be due to the fact taht I cannot sit still for more than .5 seconds) and some of them are pretty cute. I got to be the ring bearer in Rebecca and Olivers wedding. What that really means is that I bore NO rings and it was pretty iffy that I would even bear the pillow. Rebecca and Oliver met at Christ on Campus and think I'm so cute that they asked if I would walk down the aisle on the big day. During rehearsal, I thought the pillow was more like a ball and kept trying to throw it to Daddy and then would squat down so he'd throw it back to me and never even kinda made it down the aisle with the pillow (althought I did run down the aisle after ditching it a couple of times). BUT, during the wedding, I threw the pillow right out of the gate (sort of literally, it was in a fantastic barn) but Daddy gave it back to me and I was so terrified that I forgot to drop it the rest of the way. I just looked at teh ground and then glanced to side every once in a while and was just about ready to cry when I looked up and saw....MOMMY! Then I ran to her and everyone laughed. Performance COMPLETE and I got to eat candy the rest of the wedding. I was pretty pooped out by the end though so I laid down on the concrete for a rest before I discovered the rocks to be thrown. Then we at a little, ran around a little, danced a little, and crashed hard on the way home. It was a beautiful wedding and I was quite handsome...as you're about to see in no less that a million photos

Goggy

This is a goggy...my cousin's goggy and my favorite word of all time. This particular goggy was far less excited about meeting me than I was about him. His name's Casey and I only let Casey be at peace when I was "fishing" with the pink fishing pole or playing in the sand...oh wait...and eating marshmallows for supper.

Beep Beep

I climbed on Ronalds lap, pinched is nose and said "Beep Beep" and then I laughed and laughed and then did it 42 more times. Olivia likes to play the wheels on the bus with me and she says beep beep to my nose when we get to the horn part. We both laugh when she does that.

Will and Lindsay's wedding

So, the chapel (which is pretty incredible) that Will and Lindsay were married in, is really tall and made of glass and that means it's pretty noisy in there if you're oh, I don't know, say a really cute 20 month old that likes to grunt and make noise. For that reason, mommy brought a giant bag of candy and just kept my mouth full the entire service. It worked except the part when the piano stopped playing (you know how I love my music) and I said "uh-oh" which prompted laughter from the 4 rows around us. I was very good the rest of the time though. I got a little antsy at the reception because mommy and Daddy wouldn't let me use my knife as a drum on the pretty glasses and plates and then they wouldn't let me get down and run around and say boo to people like I wanted. And then, they wouldn't let me stick my hand in the glass of tea...wait, they did let me do that.

ooooh...trucks!

The tree man came and chopped down one of our trees. Livi and I watched them for a looong time. the wood chipper was the very best and noisiest part. I had some trouble hiding my excitement and remaining calm, cool, and collected.

handsome pants

I get to be the ring bearer in REbecca and Oliver's wedding. Mommy got me a tuxedo on the internet and I wear it quite handsomely...look out ladies...I'm Irresistible!

campout

After finals week (that's for the college students, not me), our friend Erin invited us all up to her house in the mountains to play. They have a pool, horses, cows, vineyard, doggy, kitties, and a fireplace that's outside to make marshmallows. I was too scared to get in the water but I did really like that doggy (by the way, cows and doggies are both doggies) I liked the horses a lot too. I was especially fond of the singing and playing guitar outside with my college friends. mostly, i really liked the marshmallows...I don't even care if they're roasted...I ate 5 right out of the bag.

emotional trainwreck

I'm teething....still. I've been a drooly, cryie, emotional mess for a while now. Mommy'd really like for my teeth to come in I can return to my normal, happy all the time self.

swimming?

Mommy made us a water bucket and a sand bucket to play with when we're outside. A few weeks ago, it was warm enough to put water in the bucket...I dumped it twice before MOmmy decided that was probably enough of that....Livi and I also successfully dumped almost 100 lbs of sand out of our sandbox shovel by shovel and moved it all into the little playhouse which Daddy found when he mowed. That was A LOT of work for nothing!

Livi and Ivy's party

The best party of Livi and Ivy's party was the cake (which I ate, before, during, AND after the party) but the almost best part was that there were other BOYS my age there to play with. I am surrounded by girls almost all of the time. At the party though, Henry, Kaden, AND Nate were there and they're all pretty close to my age. PLUS, Max, Baby Ben, Isaac, Karl, and Sam were all there too. All of those but baby Ben are Olivia's age or a little older but still....I wasn't grossly outnumbered like usual. Nate and I are good buddies now. We played ball and shared a cup so that made us pretty much best friends.

Drummer boy

Olivia made me be in her parade at Julia's house and I got to be the drummer. I like the drums so that was okay with me for a while.

uh oh

I really like to color a lot! Mommy knew it was only a matter of time before a crayon was left out where I could get it and I'd color on something that's not paper and now that has come to pass. I colored all over 1 wall in my room and then I colored on the hallway wall. A week later, I colored on my arm with a permanent marker. Mommy thinks that may be due to the fact that I saw people coloring our friend Ivy's cast as the party and thought it was a fun idea.

woo pig!

The red/white game was lots of fun but maybe 30 minutes too long (and we only stayed for half). The band was GREAT! The popcorn was GREAT! The problem is this....there were lots of places to climb and run and Daddy wouldn't let me climb or run on ANY of them.

unhelping

I am really, really good at unhelping....so good, I may even be in the ranks of able to turn pro relatively soon. Those cupcakes mommy made for a bake sale...I unhelped with those and the result was about 3 entire less cupcakes available to sell than planned. Know where they went? In my tummy and they liked it there!
