I can hear the bells.... Again.


We were blessed in our family this year to have two weddings! Not so blessed to have them only 7 weeks apart! Ha! Just kidding! It was so fun to be up in Edmonton at the Temple to see Ben and LaNae get married! They were a beautiful couple and Manda and I are pretty excited to be getting another sista in the family.

(Just to clarify, the "sista" we speak of is the fun loving bond that we share... Not a new African American sister in law. LaNae hollors from Orton, in which I'm quite certain the population of black people is 0.)

Mia and I chillin at the Temple grounds. Actually roastin would be more appropriate! It was a hot day!
Ben and LaNae attempting to take a picture with my uncooperative girls.
Pretty much sums up how Sophie behaved all day.
Sophie dancing with her Cinderella doll because LaNae danced with Ben in her fancy dress. (She still talks about LaNae and her fancy dress. I really need to start saving now for this girls wedding).

Aren't they so cute!?
While in Edmonton we stayed with Grandpa Rob and Grandma Dodie. Grandma Dodie took the girls raspberry picking from her garden. What a hoot! I think Mia probably ate her weight in the berries.

Sophie got to eat some of these berries on her cereal the next morning! What a treat!
And for everyone who's familiar with Southern Alberta, it's time to Whoop it up again. I decided to dress the girls up all country to celebrate.
Watching the parade. Sophie loved the mini horses and Mia loved the great Dane that was randomly going for a walk in the parade. Daddy loved the belly dancers and Mommy loved that she got to put pizza in her belly after.

See ya'll next time, ya hear!

What a cute couple LaNae and Ben make. I am now hungry for raspberries. Loved the pics of Cowgirl Soph and her trusty sidekick, Miss Mia!

Of course I've always thought Soph looks like her daddy....but now I think she really, really looks like Griff! I can't believe it! And little Miss Mia is a mini you Jess! Cute fam. Congrats on the latest addition. You can never have too many sistas!

Bru always says Justin is his African brotha- his (South) African brotha!! And I forgot to say how much I love the pouty pic of Soph! What a girl. Speaking of sistas, my word verification is "kins" Kinda cool and weird, eh?

Well Jess. It was actually only 5 weeks apart. Crazy. But I'm already to go to another wedding. So. Anybody...got any invite for me?

What a beautiful dress she had! The kids are getting so big - I remember picking raspberries with my G-ma way up in the North Woods of Wisconsin when I was a little girl. Glad you guys are doing well :)
