Following our week in Windsor, we went down to Southern California for 3 reasons: 1) Russell's good college buddy's wedding 2) Alana's baby blessing and 3) go to The Price is Right! [See our Anniversary post for more info/pictures] 4) we had to actually go back home to Henderson sometime! So, we drove down (and were followed by some of our fam) and had even more fun.
Ssdac (Russell's bud) and the new Mrs. Ssdac coming out of the LA Temple. It was a VERY crowded Saturday, but we're glad we could be there for this important day. I think Russell may have even been more excited for this day than our own wedding...
Ty and I had to wait outside during the marriage ceremony because we didn't have a babysitter and I think he got a little bored/loopy. I just thought this was funny-looking: he's just chillin' in the middle of the grass.
The wedding party. (Russell's on the far left, in case you couldn't tell.) The guys got many compliments on their neon green ties. How many were genuine? I'm not sure. At least if there were a power outage, we'd have a light source!
Our little fam in front of the LA Temple.
At the reception that evening, Ty was having a BLAST "dancing" with all of the little kids around. More like, he loved crawling into the middle of the floor and going up to any kid who was dancing and try to get them to play/dance with him.
Russell and Ty doing the YMCA, I think.
Ty-Ty and his newly-married "Uncle Ssdac."
The Swift family (my sis) after church where Alana was blessed by her dad.
Oh, look--another round of Ty's favorite game: Stick-your-finger-in-the-baby's-mouth! Seriously, I'm surprised she didn't gag.
Ty-Ty demonstrating his ability to climb stairs at Hunter's parents' house. We don't have stairs in our place so "unfortunately" he doesn't get to practice much. He was pretty good--quick too--and was quite proud of himself.
We ate at this really good Chinese restaurant (seriously, I had to exercise strong self-restraint to not lick the plate of the lemon fish), but Ty was not really into the whole eating/sitting still thing. We emptied our diaper bag of all toys/things to get Ty distracted and happy to no avail. The look on his face pretty much sums it up. The look on Russell's is good, too. ;)
Ty and his Far-far. Sure, now he's happy!
On our way back to the car we stopped for a while at a European restaurant. Okay, we actually weren't in the restaurant, but they had a band playing (sax, drums, piano, bass) and they were fun to watch/listen to! Soren even danced some.
Looks like Far-far got Soren!
While the husbands were out doing something manly, Tina and I took our 3 kids to the park. We played a less-than-awesome game of Tetris trying to get all 3 kids and car seats in the back of the Corolla! Someday, we'll have to get a bigger vehicle.
We did have fun at the park, though. Ty found out how fun it is to climb up on the jungle gym and slide down. We repeated the same path about a dozen times.
And of course we end with nakie post-bath boys playing in Soren's bed. I think we could move Ty to a toddler bed now if we needed to; he loved playing on the "big boy" bed!
Thanks for letting us visit!
