Graham Wedding

Last weekend we went to Hood River to see our close friends, Wes and Courtney get married! We stayed in Stevenson at the Skamania Lodge. The picture above is a view from our room! It was so beautiful there. The wedding took place on the Oregon side of the Columbia River at The Columbia Gorge Hotel...another beautiful location. We arrived Friday night for the rehersal and rehersal dinner. Justin was in the wedding. He has known Wes since Junior High (I think...maybe longer). It is really cool because Wes has a son Connor and him and Tyson are great friends too! Connor was Wes' Best Man. He did a fantastic job. So grown up!

I took this picture from where Courtney and Wes stood for there ceremony...stunning!

Connor and Tyson having fun at Rehersal dinner.

When we got back to the hotel, Frankie was singing and playing the guitar out on the deck. He is an amazing musician. He played and sang "Better Together" by Jack Johnson for Courtney and Wes' first dance.

Both boys love music...they can tell you who is playing on the radio within seconds of the song starting. I think it is amazing! Tyson is taking guitar lessons and is becoming very good. I'm so glad that he has found something that he enjoys and can soar at.

Tyson and Justin listening to Frankie play....

Isaiah too! I love this picture!

Courtney and Wes had tropical destinations as there table names...we were at the St. Lucia table! St. Lucia is were we got married almost 2 years ago. So sweet of them to incorporate our special place into their wedding!

Brady, Sarah and the Andresons sat with us.

Connor gave the Best Man speech.

Can you tell we are all having soooo much fun!Isaiah was collecting these bugs in the centerpiece holder! He loves to collect bugs. He did it in St. Lucia too.

I LOVE this picture! Capture that little boy!! What a great weekend! Thank you Courtney and Wes!

Tala's Wedding Shower

On Sunday, my aunts and I hosted my sister Tala's family wedding shower. Her wedding is one month away! I can't believe it. She is marrying such a great guy who loves her more than anything in the world. It is really cute. Tala will be such a beautiful bride! My mom took better pictures, so I will post those when I get them from her!Naomi, Tala, and Debbie. Debbie won the necklace game, but it was a close call! Loved the competiveness between these two! The necklace game for those who don't know it is everyone starts off with a necklace with a faux wedding ring on it and if someone catches you crossing your legs or ankles, they get to steal your necklace away from you. It came down to Grandma Hiatt, Naomi, and Debbie. Debbie caught Grandma right at the end and won the game!

Heidi and Anthony's Wedding

On Saturday we went to Heidi and Anthony's wedding at Delille Cellars in Woodinville. Their location was beautiful and had an amazing veiw of the valley. Heidi of course looked gorgeous. We had so much fun. We saw many people that we haven't seen in awhile. It was great to catch up. The weather was so hot! I felt for all the men wearing suits. I just couldn't imagine how hot it must of been for them. You can tell how hot it was by looking at Justin's shirt!

Found SD card

So I was looking for something...I can't even remember now what I was looking for, but I came across a SD card. I popped it into my camera to see what was on it and it has pictures on it from I think 2004! The boys are so young! I just can't believe how time flies. There also was a video of Isaiah doing his infamous #1! Oh how innocent he was!

Ocean Shores

We went to Ocean Shores this weekend for a family vacation. My parents were out of town so their dog Scout and my brother Ty came along for the ride. We had such a great time...along with some funny stories to share. The first day there and only a few hours in, Isaiah buried Roy's chuck-it in the sand and then walked away leaving his flip flops behind as well! We spent at least an hour looking for them. Needless to say it was a lost cause. :) I looked the next morning hoping that the wind would have uncovered the bright orange chuck it, but no such luck. The boys flew kites, built sand forts and fire pits. Roy had a ton of fun fetching his ball in the ocean! He loves to swim. On Friday, we put both dogs in the car because Justin and I were going to go get firewood, smore makings, and let the dogs nap. However, as soon as we put them in the car, my parent's dog stepped on the lock button and locked the keys and both dogs in the car! Thankfully the car was not running! I walked for about 45min round trip to the nearest hotel...barefoot! When I called the locksmith, they reported that my car had ben unlocked but not by them! A police officer had flashed his laser light on the lock button and Scout hit it and voila the car was unlocked! All in all it was a fun trip!
