Ryan & Bekah’s wedding

Hello blog!  It’s been awhile!

My cousin, Ryan and his fiance got married in Sugarland on April 22nd.  I was looking forward to this wedding for a few reasons.

1) My little cousin was getting married!

2) We were going to see all my family, which means lots of babysitting!

3) A chance to get out of town!

Anyway, we loaded up on Friday morning and drove to Cypress to stay with our besties, Robby and Katie, Quinn, and baby Schleider!

Road trips are getting interesting these days.  The boys nap about an hour and then they are ready to run and play.

They actually did pretty good, until we were about an hour away from the Schleider’s house.

We kept watching the weather on our phones and it was showing a  little rain here and there but it was so dark outside, we were thinking a huge storm was about to hit.

And it did!

The WORST thunder and hail storm we have ever driven in, to be exact.

It was so loud, it was scaring the boys (and me!)

I climbed in the back seat, in between the boys, and tried to entertain them by singing and reading. 

It worked…

For about 2 minutes.

Then, screaming the last 45 minutes!

We finally arrived and the boys were so glad to be out of the car.

We had a great afternoon and evening with the Schleiders, just like old times, but with our kiddos! (Sad to say we have no pictures. WHAT?!)

Anyway, the next morning, we left early and headed toward our hotel in Sugarland.  I was meeting my mom, Ju, aunt and grandmother there so we could ride together to the Bridal luncheon.

The boys did “manly things” while the girls were gone.  Still not sure what went on during that time.

After the luncheon, we decided to shop a little while Jared, G & G took naps. (Apparently the “manly things” they did, wore them out)

Sunday, wedding day, Gage decided to get another double ear infection, poor baby

that’s why he isn’t in too many wedding pictures

I did get to dance with both of my boys during the Mother/son dance

pretty sweet, but no pictures, bummer

Sad I didn’t get too many pictures on Sunday, mainly because Gage wasn’t feeling well at all!

It was a fun-filled, busy weekend!  Thankful for all the family time…and help :)
