So I decided to participate this week...

So I decided that I would participate in Kelly's Show Us Your Life blog this week. Its all about weddings this week and since we just got married and I need to put up some more pictures I thought I would share some with you!!!

This is me and my mom before the ceremony. I was the first one ready (believe it or not and sat there for an hour and a half before it was time to go) and had to wait for everyone else so there aren't really any pictures of us all getting ready. We got married at 3 in the afternoon. It had rained all night and all morning and I was not excited as my wedding was outside. We also had a bit of a problem with my dress that day....as I have explained in a previous blog....so I was freaking out from that too.

This is all of us girls before the wedding. My sister was a junior bridesmaid, my daughter was the cutest flower girl ever, and my best friend (whom I also consider a sister) was my MOH!!! My husband had his uncle Matt as his best man and my cousin Jeremiah as the ring bearer. My brother and Josh's older brother were the ushers and my uncle Donnie took our pictures. And my new aunt Marci's aunt presided over our ceremony.

We also included a sand ceremony to show us coming together as one family. We wanted to include Kadence in this as well so she was brought up to us and poured in her own sand with us. The colors of our wedding were Honeydew Green and Canary Yellow. We used those two colors for me and Josh and Kadence poured in pink sand. Me and Josh were in yellow and the rest of the wedding party were in green. Our ceremony only lasted about ten minutes or so but we wanted it short and sweet.





This is some of everyone who was there. Our wedding was pretty small but that is how we wanted it to be. It could have been MUCH MUCH BIGGER!!! We just didn't have to funds for that right now. So maybe down the road for our anniversary or something we can do something bigger. I walked down the aisle to Elvis Presley - Can't Help Falling In Love and we together walked back down to the UFC theme song because we are huge fans of the UFC!!!! It was great and everyone was so surprised by the song I think we gave about half of them heart attacks!!!!

We had a good time and I'm just glad it is over. I am never going to plan another wedding again lol!!! But I'm extremely happy and couldn't have asked for more!!!

Oh yea I forgot to tell you....it had rained so much that day that my heels were sinking into the ground and my mom was sure we needed an aisle runner. I told her no that we didn't and she bought one anyone. Well my heels got stuck in the aisle runner and I tripped down the aisle several times. Thank goodness I didn't fall all the way to the ground that would have been embarrassing. But it was all good because I knew it was going to happen lol.




Well there you have it....some of our pictures....tune in next time!!!

Really bored right now

I'm really bored right now because everyone in my house is sleeping except me. So I'm going to write in here a little bit because I've been lacking lately. This is a first for everyone to be sleeping and me wide awake!!! It's kinda lonely though. I'm baking some cookies right now because they sounded good. (And I forgot that I had them until now) I'm thinking about trying to start a play group for Kadence because she has been being really bratty and I think she needs some social interaction. It would be good for me too because God knows I need it!!!! We are going to Seattle in less than a month for a friend of ours wedding....they came down for ours and its going to be a kind of honeymoon for us too!! That should be fun! I'm pretty excited....hold on my cookies are buzzing!!!! MMMM Snicker doodle's and Chocolate Chip!!!! Anyways, back to what I was saying....we are going to Seattle and its going to be nice to get away for a while. I mean don't get me wrong I love Kadence but I have been with her for pretty much everyday the last almost 14 months and I'm ready for a vacation. We are going for 5 days and we have pretty much everyday booked I think!!! But it will be great times....I will get to meet some of my hubby's friends whom I've never met before and that he talks about all the time!!! So thats pretty exciting!!! July has really been pretty dull for us which was nice because we needed the vacation through all the craziness that has been going on!!!!

Kadence hasn't quite started walking yet but she's getting close!!!! She keeps trying to and you can see the determination in her face that she wants to but just isn't quite sure what she is supposed to do with her feet. And now that she's bigger and I don't have to entertain her much (because she gets bored really, really fast!!!) I have been reading. I have been reading the Harry Potter series right now because I'm really into the movies and I wanted to read the books. Its been kind of nice because I used to like to read a lot when I was younger. So if anyone has any suggestions of what to read next I'm open to them!!!! Right now I'm on the 4th book but have been reading them like there's nothing to them so.....and my next venture is going to be The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons because I've heard they were a good read.

August is going to be a busy month for us....besides Seattle we have another wedding here in Colorado. Josh's cousin is finally getting married and we have that on the 15th. We leave for Seattle the 19th and come back the 24th, we have a BBQ on the 8th at my Gram's house, and we have a concert (the band that we got engaged to on stage with) on the 10th. So its going to be a crazy month again!!!! But besides that there really isn't anything else going on in our neck of the woods!!!

So until next time I guess.....

Not My Child Monday

Welcome to this week's Not Me or rather My Child Monday. Don't be afraid to tell us what your child doesn't do. This should be pretty funny.

So my daughter who is only 13 months is a wild baby. She is a little daredevil and this week she so did not stand up on her folding chair that she got for her birthday and tip it over and fall onto the floor in it. Which made her cry because it scared her more than anything. She so did not throw a fit on the ground just a minute ago and bit the carpet because she wanted her diaper changed. Not her nope she's sweet and innocent. Also she did not run around naked the last couple of days because we didn't go anywhere and we don't have air conditioning so its way hot in our house. Nope I would never let my daughter do that I'm a good mom.

My daughter also did not get into the pens and color on herself because she's only 13 months old. She also has learned that when she farts she does the wave by her butt because she knows its stinky and did not do it in front of our house guests the other day and embarrass her parents.

Anyways I think thats about it for her this week and things she did not do!!! Head over to MckMama's page to check out some more!!!!

Not Me Monday

So what have you not done this week??? Check out to see what me and others have not done this week....and maybe you'll be big enough to admit what you haven't done!!!!

So this week I so did not procrastinate on my dishes because that is one of my least favorite chores. I also so did not do but what we needed for laundry because I hate laundry and that is also one of my least favorite chores. I also so did not spend the weekend at the baseball park because it was my little brothers last tournament of the season and I wanted to cheer them on. (Oh yea by the way....they won the whole thing!!!!)

Anyways thats all that I can think of that I did not do this week so what about you???? And tune in next week for what your children aren't doing....we're gonna change it up a little bit!!!! Check out MckMama's blog for more!!!!

Kadence finally started....

Walking!!!!!! She took her first step yesterday, on her 13 month birthday I guess!!!! It was pretty exciting!!!! And then when Josh got home from work she took a step for him too!!!! So she will finally be walking and running around!!!! I can't believe how big she is getting!!!! I can't believe that she is going to be walking around finally!!!! I'm happy but sad at the same time....and we won't be trying for another baby for a while because I don't want to!!!! Anyways I just thought that everyone should hear the exciting news!!!!

Not Me Monday

Well its that time of the week again....when you admit to what you did not do!!!! So here goes...

I so did not let Kadence run around all weekend long without shoes or anything on and let her get really dirty because she is a baby and thats what they do. I also so did not volunteer to have a BBQ at our house this weekend for everyone that we know and let them hang out here and do fireworks because they were illegal in the Springs. I also so did not win a free steak dinner to our favorite hang out place and got to go eat and have some fun on Friday night. I'm a mom I never get to have any fun now. Anyways I'm sure there are more things that I didn't get to share but tune in next time to see what happens.
