There and Back Again

We're back from Vegas! The boys did so awesome on the plane there. I was really worried about catching my second flight, but it worked out perfectly. The gate we came into was G29 and the Gate I needed was G34 so I didn't even need to go to a different terminal which is good since I only had half an hour between flights. We made it to Vegas at 2 am our time and of course Marcus had a power nap on plane so he was wide awake when we got there. He was all over the place!

Seeing the fishies

Thinking my moms resin train was a toy

playing the piano

I think this was the day after we got there, but how cute is this?

Marcus went from nutcracker to nutcracker making their mouths open, lol!

Then we had the wedding. My mom was invited since they had quite a few cancellations and they said it was nice to have an extra body for the empty seat they still had to pay $50 for. Before the wedding started, Marcus was ALL over the place. The wedding was supposed to start at nap time so he wasn't a very happy little man for awhile there. Until he found the rocks anyway. He kept grabbing them and throwing them in the lake. Which actually worked perfectly since the way to the lake was down the aisle. We told the flower girl to keep going if Marcus stopped, so when he stooped down to grab some rocks, she kept going and then all the sudden you see him running down the aisle. I only got one pic since he went so fast. Standing up at the front didn't last very long and one of the groomsman's wives [I think...] took him over to another area where he could keep throwing rocks and I could stay up front with the rest of the bridesmaids.

This on makes me laugh. This is the groom thinking Marcus needs help up the stairs, lol!

With the flower girl

This is what Jamie did the entire ceremony

The reception

Jamesen got to meet some family while we were down here. This is Auntie Mandy

Uncle Jake

Uncle Nano and soon to be Auntie Dawn

Nano finally proposed and we're all really excited to welcome Dawn to the family!
We took Marcus to a park near my parents house. It's got a rock wall and Marcus went right for it. He needed help placing his feet the first two times he went up but the third he just went up like he'd been doing it his whole life!

I don't know if this will work, but HERE'S a vid off my facebook of him doing it.

Jamesen was blessed by my dad while we were there. Mom made him his blessing outfit and it was sooo cute! It has a little blue bowtie.

After church the sun was coming into the sliding glass door and the lighting was awesome so we took some pics.


And then I got some couple pics of my parents. They didn't turn out as good as I had hoped, but here are a few. The first one had a quick edit and the second is unedited. My mom is so pretty :)

Jake and Amanda brought Abby over. She's so freaking adorable. I seriously can't get enough of her! She loved Jamesen and actually said his name perfectly. I was impressed. Jake and Amanda are trying to conceive and Abby is going to make such an awesome big sister!
He's teething so he's a drool monster and she kept wiping his face off saying "that's disgusting!"

Mandy is really baby hungry so she wouldn't let him go, lol!

I was outside doing... something [I can't remember] and my dad came out and asked for my camera and then went back inside. A few minutes later he comes back out "What do I do??" Made me laugh. This is what he wanted to get a pic of.
My mom and I got some mini cupcakes for Marcus and Abby

Trying to get a good picture of a cranky toddler and baby is very hard. Add in a third person and it's about impossible. Abby was really good about smiling and looking for the camera but of course looked away the minute both boys looked at me, lol!
Moms got a bunch of light up Halloween decorations in the front and we had fun playing with them.


Max really wanted outside too! He got out and was out all night one night and ever since then he'd been trying to get out every second he could.

And a bunch of cute randoms

We missed our first flight. My parent's printer cut off half my e ticket number and the line I was waiting in took too long to get to me. Good thing they had a kid's play area since there was two hours between when my flight I missed left and the new flight boarded. Of course he pretty much sat by the window saying "WOAH!!!" the entire time since you could see the runways from where we were.

It was fun, but we're glad to be back :) We sure missed Sabe and my cloth diapers. Jamesen blew out EVERY time he pooped. Since he's a LaBare, he poops often. it wasn't fun, let me tell you!!

Woah!!!

While we were sitting in the airport, waiting for our flight to leave from Louisville, Marcus was obsessed with the window and pointing at every plane and doing his sign he uses. Then a plane in a terminal near ours started pulling away and going towards the runway. Marcus got all excited and I said "WOAH!!!" and he copied me. Currently I hear a cute little voice going "Woah! woahhhhhh! woah woah woah woah!!" as he's going through the drawer of my moms cooking utensils. Freaking cute!

Marcus has [of course] been getting into everything here. Good thing my parents have lots of kids and understand. I think the fact that they have all the sudden found themselves with an empty nest that they're really excited to have some little feet around.

The wedding is today in less than 4 hours. Cross your fingers Marcus does well. I hope I can get some pics. I don't know if I'll be able to since I'm a bridesmaid and won't be able to have my camera around my neck during the ceremony... hmmm... wonder if I can sneak it in... and like... Hide it in the trees... The way we're set up nobody would see me with a camera... Maybe I can talk the bride into letting me. I wanna get a pic of Marcus walking down the aisle with the flower girl that I don't have to pay an arm and leg for... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Leavin on a jet plane

The boys and I are going to Vegas tomorrow. I'm really stressed about the flight. I was going to get a bunch of new books for Marcus for the plane but didn't end up doing it. I'm hoping Sabe will get home soon so I can make a Walmart run.

I'm really not excited about the flight actually. I can't wait till it's over. I've got only 40 minutes between my flights so I have to hope that my first flight is on time and then I have to get the boys, Marcus' carseat and the diaper bag off the plane, wait for the people to get my stroller and Jamesen's carseat out from the belly of the plane and then run to my gate and board the plane and then strap Marcus in yet again. I really wish there was a bit more time between my flights so I could let Marcus walk with me and stretch his legs. I probably won't actually buckle him into the seat until we get going so he can climb on it a bit.

I'm so excited to see my family and friends though. Shauna's going to be excited to hold Jamesen. It was really funny when she held Marcus for the first time! She didn't know how to hold him so she was all awkward and funny. And I hope hope hope Marcus does well in the ring bearer job! geeze... I'm worried about that. Though I'm sure he's going to love all the one on one time with mommy while we're at the wedding. My mom will be watching Jamesen since it will be impossible to keep Marcus in line while I'm trying to wrangle Jamesen. Plus I'm a bridesmaid and will be standing in the front at the ceremony. I can't be holding Jamesen at the same time. I'm sure my mom's excited about one on one time with the Jamie man!

She's nice enough to watch them for me while I get a cavaty filled too. It's been bugging me since right before we moved and I had to wait until July for our dental insurance to kick in and then I kept forgetting to make an appointment so my mom just made one for me in Vegas at the place I use to go to as a kid. I never had cavaties until I got pregnant.


heehee, I think it's my cue to go. Jamesen just latched onto my arm and totally started sucking away LOL!!! It tickled, heehee!!
