Kids at the wedding










I am not sure I have seen so many kids at a wedding before I think the head count was around 65.
Lots of bubbles there and a ton of kids running around prior to the dance. Nearly got taken out by tots a few times those little ones can be fast. I obviously got mostly pictures of my kids.
That's all for now

The Wedding Dance








The Dance was a lot of fun. I only danced a few dance mostly with my girls and unless I actually picked Taylor up she would spin around so fast she'd make me dizzy. It may have been one of my favorite moments as a mom with Taylor though. She would just look at me in awe as I would sing to her made my heart melt.
Brooklynn of course looked beautiful when she danced with both Calvin and her dad. Calvin looked very handsome as well.
It made me smile to see both Brooklynn dance with her dad and Taylor dancing with Fabian, made me miss my dad but we had many many dances that we shared
I left the wedding pretty early took the girls back to the camper which was basically across the parking lot pretty convenient. So I think we missed the garter toss and the bouquet toss so no pictures of that.
That's all for now

Supper at Wedding






Shortly after the wedding we had supper which was good. I think from what I heard there was a 235lbs pig and 10 turkeys. Brooklynn's parents own a turkey farm. So here are some pictures of the supper mostly of Luke who didn't have the supper.
That's all for now

Wedding Pictures












Here are a few pictures from the church where they had some of the wedding photos done.
I got more pictures of Eastynn cause Taylor was on the bus with the rest of the wedding party.
Also some pictures of the wedding I didn't get to take any as I was video taping but Lois was also taking pictures so these are the one she took (a lot of these pictures are the ones Lois took.)
That's all for now

Getting Ready for the Wedding






On Saturday morning Grandma Huber, Taylor, Eastynn, and I all had to go get our hair done. It was amazing as we went at 9 and she did all of our hair in 2 hours. The hair dresser was very fast and efficent. We got back I packed up everything so we could camp after the wedding. We got all are dresses on and headed out for pictures. Had to do an extra post just to get in as many photos as possible.
I love all these photos especially the one with Taylor and Pebbles
That's all for now

The Park -Friday




On Friday before we went to Cal and Brook's we went to the park.
Taylor was delighted as all of "the kids" were there. I guess her cousins or 2nd cousins. She had a blast even though we didn't get to stay to long it was a pretty quick trip to the park but she liked it and was very mad when we had to leave to go to Cal and Brook's she didn't realize the kids were coming with plus all the kids from the rehersal would be there too.
Little Lindy loved the swing and I couldn't resist taking some pictures of her.
That's all for now

Rehersal for Calvin and Brooklynn's wedding






On Friday we went to the hall to decorate and have the rehearsal.
There was lots of kids so the girls had a great time playing. I didn't do much to help decorate but did what I could.
Then we had the rehearsal and it was pretty good went off without any hitches. It was so great that Brooklynn asked Taylor last minute to be a flower girl since she already had the same dress as the other flower girl. It worked out well. We were all surprised happy and honored that she could be part of the wedding. We decided since we were almost certain that Brian sadly couldn't be at the wedding that it needed to be video taped. Calvin was going to buy a video camera, but we had bought them one as a wedding gift so we had to tell them what we had gotten them although I think Brooklynn knew. So that was my job at the wedding.
After we went to Calvin and Brooklynn's just for a get together, we took Luke home with us. Which was nice I got to spend a little more time with him but he was still so sick so Grandma didn't get a lot of sleep.
That's all for now

Thursday in Sask

Thursday was a pretty quite day didn't do much.
Auntie Sylvia came out and played with the girls all afternoon the had a picnic outside played puppies.
While I made everyone some supper. I don't get to cook for them very often and Grandma was busy making the wedding cake, answering phone calls and worrying about papa.
It was a nice quite day.
Both girls started getting a little bit of a cold that day.
That's all for now

Wednesday our trip to Sask

On Wednesday we headed out to Sask.
As usual it was a long trip but this time we didn't watch the same movies over and over again.
We got to stop in Regina and see Papa Huber. He was happy to see us and looked very good considering I think it was week 3 of being in the hospital. Eastynn had just fallen asleep right as we pulled in to Regina so she didn't get to visit, but Taylor had a good visit with Papa she gave him a big (unprompted) hug which was nice and took papa by surprise. The visit was short but nice.
We then headed to Stockholm visited with Grandma for just a short while and then we all headed out Calvin and Brooklynn's shop. Got to hang with my little nephew poor little guy was so sick. Then we headed home and went to bed.
That's all for now

The Fair






Friday was the one day we went to the fair this year. We went out and got a few things before we went out like bottled water. A bottle of water was $3 at the fair we got some kids bottles of water at Walmart and they are awesome have nice little sippy like tops which is great. Then we had some lunch with Grandma.
We got to the grounds at about 1:20 and probably for the first half hour Eastynn screamed and stomped around cause I wouldn't carry her and she didn't wanna sit in the wagon it was about 37 degrees so noway am I carrying her around all day. So I told Taylor to go a ride and when I put Eastynn down she freaked right out so I took her off, then when the ride started Eastynn freaked out cause she didn't get to go on. Finally she calmed down enough to go on a ride, but the seat was to hot so she cried again. It was fun, haha. Then she cried cause I don't think she quite got it and was very uncertain, that's when Taylor screamed at the carney to stop the ride (she was sticking up for Eastynn I was proud). Then when the ride was done she cried cause she had to get off. This happened on EVERY SINGLE RIDE. Her favorite ride was the fishy one just like Taylor at that age.
The was also the "rides" that you walk through and up Taylor and Eastynn would go and then on every one of them Eastynn would just stand up at the top and not go down the slide she wasn't upset she was just content hanging out at the top. At about 4 she fell asleep for about an hour. But all and all Eastynn had a great time.
Taylor had a blast this year was perfect for her. She was exactly 42" so she could go on all the kiddie rides but was able to get on almost all the adult rides as well. Like I said she went on a few rides with her sister. She went on a few by herself a lot with her, Eastynn, and little Brooklynne. Some with just Brooklynne. She was able to go on the big slide by herself this year which is nice cause I don't like all those stairs or being up that high. We went on the bumper cars a couple times. We went on this ride that you lay down as if your superman.
Once Fabian got there we went and took a break from the rides and had some supper. After supper was nice Fabian hung out with Eastynn taking her on some rides. While Becky, Brooklynne, Taylor and I went on rides. We went on the haunted house so not scary but loud enough to scare Taylor with her sensitive hearing. Then we went on the tilt a whirl the best time I ever had on the tilt a whirl watch the 2 girls laugh so hard, we did it 3 times in total. We actually went on the spider too, I wasn't sure Taylor would like it as I find it scary too, but she loved it. I got to go on the spider 3 times too, once with Becky which was awesome cause we spun pretty good and Taylor and I went on twice. We also went on a ride called moonbeam or moon drop. It takes you to the top then drops you and then it raises you and drops you. I HATED that ride mostly cause I am scared of heights and the reason I am scared of heights is cause I am scared of falling. So not the best ride for me although I couldn't help but laugh the entire time and Taylor was having such a great time she was laugh so hard she was drooling. Taylor too had her little break downs but over all was good she cried every time we walked passed a place with snow cones but called them ice cream and any of the fishing games.
After we were done the rides we went to the petting zoo which the girls always want to do but Taylor usually gets so scared its not worth going. They did enjoy it this year and Taylor only got scared once when she was walking and looking at a sheep and turned around and there was a goat right in her face, she screamed so loud that everyone at the petting zoo thought she had been hurt. She did however get over it quite quickly. Then we left but I promised Taylor and ice cream so we went to DQ. After that it was home, bath, and bed and to bed without a problem.

Last Few Days

The last couple days have been a little different around here. We have been trying to play the girls out by letting them go outside and play in the pool for hours, it seems to be working instead of going to bed at 11-12 they are going to bed around 9-10. Still not where we want them but soon we will be there. We are also trying to bribe them by telling them if they clean they will get a slush and that seems to work as well. So the girls are slowly getting back on track and hopefully when we go to Sask. we can keep them on the schedule. I will soon charge up the camera and post more pics from soccer and from Elkwater.
Also next week is stampede so that will be good times
That's all for now

A Tough Week

I haven't been posting much I apologize.
First I had nationals and then I came home and my dad was really sick and finally lost his battle with cancer. So needless to say I have been busy.
So have the girls they have been so busy and not sleeping well at all lately which is fine they have had a lot on there plates as well. I have still not been able to tell Taylor in away she will be able to comprehend that papa Mellor is gone forever. It will come soon I am sure. The other day I told her when we went to prayers that we were going to say good bye to papa. She asked me when we got there "where is papa." It broke my heart. My mom tried to tell her and she was pretty upset, but quickly got over it and asked grandma to go downstairs and play. The biggest thing that upsets me is my girls will never get to know the man I loved so dearly.
I will try and post a little more often I am sorry.
