Wedding and Hiccups

We had a great time at Holly and Garett's wedding! They have now officially been married 1 whole week! WoooHoooo!!!! After the wedding, we took a trip down to Monterrey to go to the aquiarium. And then on the way back home we stopped at our favorite beach in Santa Cruz - SeaBright Beach. It was a lot of fun! But it was not without any hiccups.
1)Car broke down right before we were to pull out of driveway to drive up to the wedding in Las Gatos. So, we had to scramble to rent a car and still get there on time. Needless to say, both Mauro and I were like chickens with our heads cut off...
2)Forgot the girls entire suitcase of clothes for the the trip...yep...everything for them was in that suitcase...
3)The only change of clothes that they did have, other than their flower girl dresses, were in a backpack with my contact case, contact solution, and important medicine - this backpack was put in the wrong car after the wedding, and was with Nicky in Aptos (which is on the way to Monterrey, thank goodness - so that was a big , pheww!). And we had to put the girls back in their big, fluffy flower girl dresses when they woke up on Monday morning.
4)My only bra was in that backpack as well!!!! So, I had to go "free" all morning until we were able to get the backpack.
5)Woke up on Tuesday morning with a migrain! It only lasted about 3 hours, thank goodness, and then we were able to get on the road for Santa Cruz and to return home.
6)Forgot to take photos with my camera during the wedding and reception. Did not even think to give camera to Mauro or to a friend so that they could take pics for me???? So thank you to Sarah, and Leslie (I copied your pics from facebook :) ), and to my father in law for letting me use your photos. You all took so many great pictures!!!!

And then after all this drama, it turned out being a really nice, little vacation. The girls loved the beach, the aquarium, and of course they had a blast at the wedding. Great memories...

Little Bit of Everything

Lily, last month, during her 1st birthday party. She thought it would be fun to smear the frosting all over her face!!!!

This is before she decided to smear the frosting. She is actually posing for this picture that Michela took with my camera!

Emery and all her friends during the magical story time from fairy Melody.



Fairy Kyla after she got her face painted at Emery's Fairy Princess Birthday Party.



Fairy Holly and "Fairy" Garett (he he he) dressed for Emery's special birthday party. Garett looks really happy to be dressed as a fairy, doesn't he? (It makes me wonder how Holly got him to dress up?)


Emery at her Fairy Princess Birthday Party. We had live entertainment. A fairy from Happily Ever Laughter Parties came to do face painting, magic, and fun singing! Emery had so much fun. I have never seen her so excited and bouncy!



This is where my sister and Garett are getting married on March 21st. This is the back of a converted barn! The property is simply fairytail!
