Valerie's Birthday and Amanda's Wedding

*Warning...this is probably one of the longest posts ever!!*
Did I ever mention how busy of a week we had last week?? Wednesday the 8th was our Anniversary, the 9th was Brandon's little sister Amanda's wedding, the 10th was Valerie's Birthday, and the 11th was Amanda's Carnival (reception). So I am gonna post pictures from Valerie's parties and Amanda's Wedding (we will celebrate our Anniversary this weekend I will post pictures of that next week). Also, I have been tagged by like 3 or 4 people and I promise I will get to those this week too just as soon as I have time. Party with my side of the family. She was trying to touch the flame! Crazy kid!



What a nice girl, she wanted to share!

Party with Brandon's side, this is my attempt at a fondant cake...I think I will let the professionals handle the cakes from now on!!

Please take note of the cute onesie I stayed up until 1:00 in the morning making the night before!




Valerie was SO spoiled by both families...we now need a bigger toy box!






Matt and Amanda sealed for time and eternity 10-09-08!


Sweet!!



I love this picture of Brandon and Amanda!



I thought this one was fun!


Matt and Amanda in the bouncy thing...I am not even sure what it's called.




Brandon and Val's turn.



How many receptions have you gone to that have a gigantic slide!?! If you can look closely in this picture there are about 8 of us at the top getting ready to go down all at the same time...I don't think that is recommended! Daniel and Ashley going down backwards!



They look so sweet and innocent...



....Yeah not so much...they were BRUTAL!!
They had a balloon guy...how cool is that!?! He made a Scooby Do for Matt and a flower bouquet for Amanda.
Happy Family!



Cute cousins!

The car

At most receptions people like to throw rice or blow bubbles. Not at a carnival! Nope they do silly string instead!

Notice me holding innocent bystander Valerie with silly string all over her? No one warned me about the silly string or I would have kept my distance.

Well 20 million pictures later that is finally the end. I hope you enjoyed the pictures, Brandon tells me I am a blog maniac...he is probably right!
