Yet another Bako trip

It has been a busy couple of weeks for us. Last Thursday we headed to Bako for the wedding extravaganza and I feel like we were running the whole time. Friday we spent the day setting up for Kelsies reception and had a dinner that Night with our fam and Cameron's fam. Saturday we were up at the crack of dawn to be down at the temple and then back to bako for the reception that night. The sealing was beautiful, and the reeption was a lot of fun. Andi tore apart my bouquet, but was a good sport about being drug around otherwise. Here are a few pics of the day. My siblings.

Andi Also discovered the piano this trip.

Turkey day came and after a marathon soccer game with my brothers, we spent the day with Thads fam and feasted on Grandma Richards famous food. Thad has been excited for a Grandma Richards Thanksgiving for months.

Then it was wedding time again. Set up friday, family dinner that night. Early wedding on saturday and reception saturday night. We had to recruite baby-sitters for the temple this time though, there were so many kids and babies! And the reception was in this awesome backyard and was totally beautiful. A little cold, but very nice.

The Bridesmaids, or matrons since we are all married

Andi and her favorite baby-sitters. The giant shirt is to keep her dress clean.

Sean and Ashley came to hang out with us while we took pictures. It was so good to see you guys, we miss you!

it's always something

Here's what I don't understand. Andi's teeth seem to only grow at night. She is totally normal and happy all day, but once she's asleep it's like the teething kicks in to overdrive and she wakes up screaming and is up for hours. Why can't her teeth bother her during the day so we could all sleep well. And why can't ALL of the teeth come in at once so we have one horrible week instead of stretching this trauma out little by little over 2 years. I just don't get it.
Anyway, besides that fun, I am cleaning and doing laundry and packing so we can go to wedding central (bako) for 10 days. And today I am grateful for baby einstein dvd's. We've tried all kinds of disney movies, but the only thing that keeps her attention is baby einstein. So I pop in one of those and I have a 20-30 minute window to get things done and she literally will not move. It's great.

Andi's new tricks

Well the last week or so Andi has learned all kinds of new tricks, like turning on the dishwasher, turning off and on the computer, climbing on the coffee table, turning all the way around in her high chair and standing up, and emptying out dresser drawers.
Her new favorite foods are cheeses-its, halloween candy, and honeycomb cereal. . . all compliments of Thad of course. I feed her dried fruit and cheerios, but find her sitting in Thads lap with her arm in the cheese-it bag.
She also loves making forts with Thad. For some reason the forts make her super hyper and she crawls around in circles in it.
