Uncle Keith's Wedding

My middle brother, Keith, found a great gal and today they got married. Andy had been asked to be the ring bearer and did a fantastic job. He stood up next to Uncle Keith and Uncle Kyle during the wedding, held the pillow and then walked down the aisle with two flower girls. Lucky little guy.Looking quite handsome before the wedding. Pictures were taken before the ceremony began and we were hanging out in front of the doors. I just happen to be snapping pictures and got this one of Andy doing a little dance.
Nana and Andy before the ceremony. The bride and groom were having a few moments to themselves and Andy was standing next to Nana. Andy may be a mini Mike, but you can see a bit of the Friesen in him.
An actual picture of the bride and groom. This was right before they cut the cake after the buffet dinner. The fireplace was decorated with their engagement pictures.
Once the cut had been cut, the boys received their piece of chocolate cake and Aaron sure enjoyed his cake with raspberry sauce.
After dinner and cake, the dance party began. Mom did get one dance with the ring bearer, but then he spent some time dancing with Uncle Keith. The wedding was beautiful, the reception was a lot of fun and it was good to catch up with friends and family I hadn't seen in awhile.

Our Trip to See Nana and Papa

We spent ten days in Oklahoma visiting friends and family during Andy's spring break. It was so nice to see everyone again as the last time we visited the family was last September.

Mascara Boy. Aaron got into mom's make-up since it wasn't under lock and key like it is at home. He at least knew it went in the eye area, so he received a bath before dinner that night. Unfortunately, the shirt didn't fair so well.

My parent's have recently done some updating to their house. One of the projects Papa was working on during nap time was installing a new ceiling fan. The boys woke up from their naps and wanted to help out. Aaron made a bee line up the ladder and Andy, being the older brother, followed him up just in case little brother might fall. Needless to say, Papa had to put the ladder away and finish another day.



The last evening we spend in Oklahoma was at my grandparents home. They made a yummy dinner of roast beef and mashed potatoes with all the fixings and after the boys went back with Nana and Papa to their house, Mike and I were able to finish off the homemade ice cream and chocolate sauce.


Mike and I then got back to my parents house to see that Aaron had fallen asleep in Papa's lap. We had a great time seeing my brothers and sister-in-law and a few of my friends. The boys had fun, but they do miss their Nana and Papa.
