Wedded Blitz

During the months of May-July, our family was invited to 6 weddings!  Unfortunately, we are unable to attend half of them since they are so far out of town.  We recently packed everyone in for a family wedding in Memphis, though.



Z had his wedding debut at the ring bearer in his Uncle Chris's wedding.  He was decked out in tux, black shades, and a briefcase (he was James Bond) and even swaggered down the aisle to the James Bond theme song.  After the crying debacle of 2012, this walk went off without a hitch!  (this was the best pic I could swipe off facebook)

The trip to Memphis was also fun because the kids got to reunite with lots of family and meet some new friends.  As usual, Gramma got all the kisses.  They were totally enamored with Baby Addie--even though this picture shows some other emotion. 


Cousins Emma Grace is now big enough to be a great playmate and kept up with my rowdy boys pretty well!  I was proud of her! :)  The kids loved playing with Emma and Great Aunt Jan & Uncle David. 

The trips to and from Memphis were actually rather uneventful.  Our potty trainer only stopped us once or twice and we made it all the way down without stopping at all--that is a record for our family! Thankfully, this was our only wedding to participate.

We have been handling the heat pretty well, too.  A few afternoons have been spent at McDonald's sharing an ice cream and playing, but with strategic fan placement, and middle-of-the-night laundry drying, we maintain a balmy 80 most of the time.  We'll see how that changes as the heat of the summer comes upon us.  The kids are looking forward to another trip to the splash park, and I must say, my tan is starting to fade...I'll have to remedy that!!
