The Wedding

  I am currently laid up on bed with a GI bug, so I am taking this rare moment of solitude to update.  I have what most of the extended family had at my cousin Lacy's wedding.  The Show went on, the bride being an amazing person who can overlook any negatives.  I would not have had such grace, but that's why I went to Vegas I suppose.  

Other than the GI bug, the kids were great.  My favorite exchange from the weekend is as follows while we were in the car:

Ani: "I farted." (Then she holds up a leg) "see?"

Gav: "You can't see a fart!"

Ryan: "This is true."

Gav: "You can smell a fart."

Ryan: "yup."

Gav: "And you can hear a fart."

Ryan: "Also true."

(Long pause)

Gav: "And, sometimes, you can feel a fart."

So there you have it.  But they clean up nice, as you can see:

Though from our drive up there, one would not know how well they clean up.  Gavin was wearing his John Deere sweatshirt, pretending to talk on a phone, saying to the imaginary person on the other line "my tractor has a flat tire.  Come to my farm and see how flat it is.  And bring your tire flashlight."  Meanwhile Annah was yelling at Ryan to give her his coffee.  "My coffee daddy! Annah coffee!" Because clearly she could use more animation.  As you can see from this picture with her second cousin Evelyn, she is not the greatest at sitting still.

Gavin however got to be the ring bearer, which he took very seriously.  He held his Dino pillow and very solemnly presented the rings when asked. I was proud.

And, my favorite photo of the weekend:
