Wedding in July

And I almost forgot to post pictures from Leslie (Joes sister) & Michaels wedding.

Here is connor in his pre-wedding outfit

Lauren didnt make it down the aisle by herself, she had a rough morning.

& Joe had to hold her through the ceremony to.

But Connor was good the whole day! or as good as he can be.

He had on a whole suit with a vest & tie, but they

kind of turned into chew toys instead of part of his outfit.

Then Lauren finally came out of her shell at the reception and loved playin gon the rocks outside.

Final wedding of the summer (The Hedricks)

So we had another wedding this past weekend that all of us were in, including Connor but he didn’t walk down the aisle with us (thank you grandma Patti for watching him). Lauren was the highlight of the day! We learned our lesson at Aunt Leslies wedding oh how to get her to walk down the aisle, at Leslies everyone was talking to her and she froze up and we (Joe) had to carry her down the aisle and through the ceremony. So for Jeremy & Tiffany’s wedding we practiced throwing flowers non-stop before the ceremony and kept her going all the way until we actually went down the aisle. She made it to the chairs and threw the first petals behind the chairs (we had been "practicing" there so I think she thought that was what we were doing) once we re-directed her to the aisle she threw them down and the proceeded to stand next to me for the ceremony. For about 5 minutes when she started to KICK her flower bucket, so I picked her up for a bit until I thought she was calmer. Then she stood there for a minute and then proceeded to throw and kick her flower bucket into the bushes about 15 feet off to the side of the ceremony, she then came back and stood next to me. I guess she was done with the flowers and didn’t want the bucket anymore?... Who knows what goes through her head sometimes.

More wedding pictures to come soon.....

What a weekend

Well we had quite a busy weekend with lots of family & friends.

All the West family was in town for Uncle Pats celebration on saturday

and then after that we had Connors baptism all of this in 95 degree weather!

It went by way to quick I wish we could have hung out more, but life is just flying by lately.

Connor getting Baptised, he absolutely loved it!

With some of his godparents - Jeremy & Tiffany

& his other godparents Jamie (aunt mimi) & Matt

with Uncle Joey & Aunt Susie

Uncle Pats Celebration - We had great weather and a great party, lots of stories, beer, volleyball, jello shots, sushi & beer, I think there would have been more beer if everyone didnt have to keep drinking water because of the sun! I wish we could have stayed longer but it was so hot I dont think may of us would have lasted but Pat would have loved it.

(More pictures coming soon)

Great Grandma & Grandpa West with Lauren & Connor

Connors Crawling!

Connor is 4.5 months and he has mastered crawling! This video was taken about a week ago and he started just going backwards and in circles and within 2 days he was doing a one armed army crawl and then the next day he is going everywhere.

July Updates

So we have been a little busy this week with Joes sister (Leslie's) wedding and I am a horrible mother and because I was so busy there I didnt take one picture. I am hoping the photographer got a few of the kids because they looked so cute and had so much fun. Lauren was not so cooperative during pictures (weird) and Joe held her while we walked down the aisle, but she had a blast at the reception dancing and running around. And Connor got held by many different friends and family and became best buds with Uncle Joey. I'll get some pictures up from the wedding once I get some but here are some others from the past week or two. And we are all in another wedding in 2 weeks and I will definetly get some pictures of us then.

Connor @ work with Mommy

Lauren LOVES going on the boat,

this whole time she kept saying I like my boat,

I like my boat over and over again.

Not sure where Lauren gets it but she loves to get her nails painted.

SO when the girls all went to get them done for the wedding we brought her along and she absolutely LOVED IT!!! They had a little kids chair with a DVD player and everything. She picked out light pink polish with sparkles and they even put flowers on her thumbs and big toes, it was seriously way to cute!

more of the kids 7/2010

Here you can see pretty much what its like everytime we pull out the camera. Connor watches TV or faceplants on the carpet and Lauren wants to be held or wants the camera (hence the bad camerawork). oh, The life of having 2 kids only 2 years apart, gotta love it.
