Fred & Arlen's Wedding

On Saturday, August 29th we had the opportunity to participate in Fred & Arlen's wedding. Participate?!!..... O.k. let's be honest, I planned to whole thing. But I had a lot of fun doing it. I volunteered to be there wedding planner, because Arlen just had no idea what to do or where to go, not to mention the language barrier. So I was very busy this summer planning the wedding, but I must also give credit to my wonderful mother who also did a ton to help her and me. She said that it felt like she was marrying off another daughter all over again. We were both exausted afterward. But it was a beautiful wedding and we had a lot of fun that day. I waited to do the post because I was waiting to get pictures back from Kate. She was the photographer and since I was running around all day, I did not have time to take pics myself. So, because there were so many I chose a few of my favorites and created a slideshow. Enjoy the pics.

Abby is 6 Months!

Well on August 15th Abby turned 6 months. It's amazing how time flies. When Benjamin turned 6 months we took him to JC Penny to get some professional pics done. Unfortunately that is not going to be possible for Abby. Lucky for me Kate took some pretty amazing ones (the one's in yellow) when she was 5 months. Nothing special, we were just hanging out in her back yard. But they are soo amazingly cute! So enjoy the pics and there is video of Abby at the end!

Isn't this a beautiful picture!

Abby about 5 months

So happy!

Puppy dog eyes!

First time with Solids

She finally started taking solids right at 6 months.

The first video is of her tasting carrots and peas for the first time.

So far, rice cereal is her favorite.

Cute Hat!

Even cuter Flowers!

Globo bye, bye

Today, something really funny happened. Benjamin had 2 balloons (Globo). Well, when we were leaving the house, we didn't realize that Benjamin had taken one of his balloons out side with him. As we were loading up the car, he was in the front yard happily holding on to his Globo. Then as most 2 year old's do, he let go of it. Then we heard this traumatized cry and we ran over to see what was wrong. We found him looking upward with his little hands outstretched, crying as he watched his balloon float up into the sky. Isaac then scooped him up and said "Globo, bye, bye, ya se va bye bye" (Balloon bye, bye, it's going bye, bye). Then Benjamin started to wave bye, bye, and sobbing through his tears, bid farewell to his balloon. It was so sad, but sooo dang cute. For a 2 year old, this was so traumatic for him. So then we put him in the car and as we drove to the store he continued to look into the sky and cry all the while waving and saying "Globo, bye, bye" Isaac and I felt bad, but couldn't help but chuckle at how cute it was. Luckily he had another balloon in the house, but maybe next time he will realize why Mommy always ties it to his wrist or clothes, even though he hates it. ;)
