It didn't matter to Oliver where we were. He had food and that is all that matters!
Larry and Sophie playing with a stick. Sophie had no problems reacquainting herself with the water. She just jumped right in to our surprise!
That small speck on the left is Sophie doing the doggie paddle.
Again, Sophie doing the doggie paddle. Isn't the lake gorgeous?
We got a little slap happy during the drive. He is a view of our car from the front seat.
Bob and Larry were able to watch a movie while Kim and I listened to XM. Thank goodness we didn't have to listen to those boy movies. We started the trip off with a special viewing of National Lampoon's Christmas vacation. I could watch that movie everyday! We were quoting the movie word for word at 3 in the morning!
Oliver was a very pleasant passenger. I was so worried that he was going to be a little stinker with guests (I shouldn't call them guests...they are almost family.) He was a very happy little guy! Thank goodness! Whew!
Okay, Kim and I are almost-obsessed with the show John and Kate Plus 8. If you are not and avid watcher of the show, this picture will confuse you. On the show they take one of their 8 children on their own special day. Alexis, one of the multiples picks Reptiland as her special day. The family lives somewhere around this area that we drove through. Kim and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to pull off the road to snap a picture of a place where they had been! We are too weird. It only took some convincing for Larry to pull the car over and Bob to take the picture.
A front view of the Bed and Breakfast. It was a gorgeous home!
In between the wedding and reception, we had some time to relax and enjoy the wonderful weather. It was the most fabulous weather we have experienced so far this year. I guess Katie's sisters rosary helped. We found out at breakfast the day after the wedding that the bride's sister had been carrying a rosary in her pocket for an entire month before the wedding. She had been praying for good weather. It helped!!!
This is our super huge room! We had room to put Ollie's pack and play on one side of the room and we had the other side to put our bags and he even had room to play!
Larry and Oliver playing on the bed!
Oliver is joining the family for dinner! Kim's aunt was the most gracious hostess for Oliver. She has grandchildren so she had a highchair, toys, and a crib for Oliver to use. We really appreciate her hospitality! THANK YOU!!
Kim's mom and her Aunt are giving Ollie some giggle time. He loves to have his feet tickled! Two grandma's spoiling our little boy! We love it!
Look at this awesome chair that Oliver is sitting in! He thinks he is HOT stuff!
Can you tell that he is a happy little guy! Kim said that he was all giggles and smiles!
Larry and I at the rehearsal dinner.
Isaac and Katie. Isaac went to college with Jeff and Larry. It was great to catch up with them.
I caught Larry having fun with the bubbles after the ceremony! You should see the next picture once he found out that I took a picture of him blowing bubbles. I believe his words were "Did you just take a picture of me?" haha! A true kid at heart!
The guys are having a great time at the dancing at the reception.
Jeff and Katie posing for a few pictures with the photographer at the reception. It was at the golf course country club. It was on the patio outside, but was under a permanent awning and was absolutely gorgeous. This was the grassy area and view that we had the entire evening. It was a very beautiful wedding! CONGRATS JEFF AND KATIE...WE WISH YOU ALL THE BEST!
It was almost bedtime for the kiddies. Can you tell? Amalie was laying on the deck. I think if we would have stopped talking and laughing, she may have fallen asleep.
Tickle, tickle?? Oliver is putting his moves on Amalie already. We are going to be in trouble!
Don't they just look perfect with a baby? tick tock...tick tock...that is all I will say! Hint Hint.....
Amanda, Kim and I took all the kids to the park Saturday morning. Oliver is just chilling out waiting for everyone to get ready for the playgound equipment.
Amalie and Ryan playing around. Oliver was jealous that he couldn't run around. He was however, completly content eating the mulch. That has some sort of protien, right?
Ollie and Ryan taking a break to fill up on snackies.
Oliver can't forget about his one true love, Maya. He was compassionate that she couldn't get out with the big kids and play, so he makes sure that she has some entertainment. He's putting on a show for her to keep her smiling.
He was introduced to rice cakes while we were there. Grammy bathed him and got him ready for bed while Christy and I went to the ATM and got gas in the car. He was really ready for his milk so she sidetracked him with the rice cake to buy some time.
Grammy was being very silly trying to take pictures of both of them. This was the best one...you should have seen the others!
Aunt Christy, Oliver and Grammy at dinner with the entire family
Great Grandma Lois and Oliver. My grandma stands at 4 feet something. When she holds Oliver he is almost half her height. We'll have to get them standing next to each other. You won't believe your eyes!
Great Grandpa and Oliver. We got my grandpa this hat for Christmas and from what I hear, he wears it everywhere! It says Oliver farm machinery. I didn't know that existed until we told our friends the names we were deciding between and our friend said he was going to get him a tractor if we named him Oliver. So, I learned that we named our child after farm equipment!
Oliver is sporting his new hat that I found at Old Navy. It has matching swim trunks and to my surprise, the hat is reversible and the best part.....it was on SALE!
Aunt Christy, Mom, Mindy and Oliver posing for a picture in my parents dining room. One last picture before we headed out on the road.
Oliver and Sophie. They play together so well. An 80 pound friend can be overbearing sometimes but Oliver is learning to stand his ground.
Sharon with sleepy Oliver.
Great Grandma and Great Grandpa stopped by to see the handsome little guy. He is supposed to be eating, but you can see he is too sidetracked by Great Grandma's beauty! He just looks like she is starring into her eyes!
Another picture of Ollie sleeping with Grandma.
Not a temper tantrum? Can you tell he is not getting his way. I was actually here for this picture.
Oliver absolutely loves doing this. I will probably get turned in for child abuse, but he giggles so loudly when he goes upside down. Sometimes when you pick him up, he will throw himself backwards so that you will make him go upside down. You just always have to be on your toes!
This is an awesome toy that Grandma had for Oliver to play with. I think that as he grows older, he may enjoy it more, but it was hilarious to see him sitting on it.
