Wedding Weekend

We had a very eventful weekend at Heather's wedding. It all started with Jason deciding to leave Thursday night instead of Friday morning. It made since to leave early, but I had to rush and work hard to get done everything I needed to get done. I had everything done and Jason was on his way home and I was in the bathroom getting dressed with the girls right there in the room with me playing. They were playing in my laundry hamper even though I told them not to because they were going to get hurt. AND then......... I hear a crash, both girls started screaming so I run out to see what it was and there is Riley laying in the floor trying to crawl out of the hamper. When she tipped over she knocked over the table and either that hit her in the face or the vase on it did. Who knows, but I looked at her and could instantly see 3 bruises all around her eye. GREAT I thought. So that backed me up some because I had to take out time to ice and comfort and figure out what in the world we would do if she had a full blown black eye for the wedding. Luckily the red spot was all that stuck around and I was able to cover it up.





Then Friday I figured if I put Riley down for a nap late she would be able to last longer at the rehearsal dinner, BUT...... really that just rushed us and of course she woke up cranky and didn't want to go and cried and cried and pitched fits and didn't want to get dressed until Gran bribed her with an ice cream cone:) We finally got her dressed and got out the door, but of course we were about 20 minutes late for the rehearsal... oh well. And then she was shy and wouldn't talk or look at anyone there, but luckily it only took her 5 minutes and she was full of things to say and did great. Although she was not going to walk with that boy:)

The day of the wedding Riley was great. She was in a great mood and ready to take on her flower girl responsibilities. She was excited to go to the bridal brunch where she was perfect (except for the 5 trips to the bathroom). And then took a nap, got up a showered for me and was ready to go get dressed with the big girls.
She was perfect while they were getting dressed and loved hanging out with them. I even left her back there and the bride came to me later and told me that she was so glad to have Riley there because she talked the whole time and kept her mind of off being nervous:)

Both girls were perfect during the ceremony and reception. All they wanted to do at the reception was dance and luckily Daddy and Uncle Jarrod were willing to dance the night away with them. Riley was able to get a few bridesmaids on the dance floor with her, but mostly she stuck with her dad:)

Unfortunately I didn't really have a lot of time on my hands to be snapping pictures all the time so hopefully I can order some from the photographer:)

Happy Birthday Reagan!

I can't believe little Reagan is 2!!!!! We had a great day... she had her waffle cake for breakfast (actually the other girls did and Reagan didn't like it, LOL), we went and played at the beach all morning and then after naps we had a small little party with monkey cupcakes and then it was back to the beach. Reagan was so excited it was her birthday... she told everyone for days that it was her birthday and if you told her it was someone else's she would flip out and yell "NO?" at you. She was very upset when we took down the decorations after 3 days (she takes after me and likes having a birthday month:)!).

May Fun

We were very busy with Dylan and Harlie here and had tons of fun.

We went strawberry picking.

We went to the zoo.

We had ice cream from the ice cream man (aka: Gumpy)

We rode on top a firetruck and went to a fish fry (Memorial Day at Edisto).

We went fishing (which was Riley's favorite thing to do) and caught 5 "big whoppers"!

We went and saw lots of boats and put Reagan in jail :)

And we played at the beach

I was really bad at taking pictures and obviously didn't take my camera to the actual beach... oh well, we had fun though and will miss Harlie and Dylan and can't wait for them to come back or us to go there.

Riley Graduates!

I finally have a computer back!!!!!!!

Riley graduated from 3 year old preschool. She had a program where she sang, and boy did she... she did great! I was so impressed because I really thought she would get out there with all the people and just stand there. These pictures didn't turn out to good. I was going to put up the video even though it's 20 min long, but it's on the laptop and that is broken at the moment.

She sang loud and they did sign language to some of the songs.

Then she had a small graduation. Her teacher and cookies and snacks and punch... it was very cute. Her teacher made a really cute memory book for all the kids and Riley loves just sitting and looking at all the pictures.
