A crazy busy weekend.

Friday afternoon we packed up the car and the baby, headed to my parents house, and then headed off to the airport.  Yep, we took Riley on yet another airplane.  The child has now been on FOURTEEN flights in her tiny little life, which is a little bit ridiculous if you ask me.  But, as usual, she was pretty much a model baby on the plane, so I can't really complain.  And of course it helps when the flight is only like an hour and a half (we flew from Oakland to Seattle). 

Anyway, we went to Seattle for my cousin's wedding, and my other cousin's babies' first birthday party.  It was an action-packed weekend with lots of mingling, lots of disrupted nap times, and WAY too late of bedtimes for 3 nights in a row.  But to be honest, aside from getting lost a few times, things could not have gone any smoother.

The wedding on Saturday was at noon, and we planned it perfectly so that Riley slept for about an hour in the car on the way there, so she was semi well-rested when we arrived.  And even if she was tired, she did a good job of faking it once she got to explore the wedding site.  It was like a baby's dream garden.  It had a fountain, and a TON of rocks which she loved to pick up, hand to anyone willing to hold them for her, throw, and occasionally, if we weren't keeping a close enough eye on her, she'd try and eat them.

This was the same dress she wore to the last wedding we went to and I didn't take a single picture, so Mark was sure to not let that happen this time around.  He demanded I get my camera out and snap away.  And I did just that. :)

She honestly could have sat in these rocks all day long.

The wedding was gorgeous, the scenery was beautiful, and my two favorite people looked fantastic.

AND, I even got a picture of me and Riley!  Those are pretty rare, and I think Mark did a pretty good job.

The flower girl and the ring bearer for this wedding were my cousin's babies, who are just 6 weeks younger than Riley, and I didn't get any pictures of them coming down the aisle (since keeping Riley quiet was a full time job), but they were super cute being carted down the aisle in a little red wagon.  So of course we needed a picture of the three babies together in that wagon post-ceremony.  It's a miracle all three of them sat in there for so long to get a picture taken!

Anyway, the wedding was lovely, unfortunately we had to leave a little early to get the tired baby into bed, and we may or may not have gone to the wrong hotel, and by the time we finally got to our correct room, the poor baby was sooo overtired it was not a pretty sight.  BUT, it all ended like THIS so I can't really complain.

Anyway, the following day we had the twins' first b-day party, which of course Riley loved, and it was so good to get to see everyone again.  It does make me a little sad we don't actually live in the US, but we'll be back here eventually!  Anyway, these might be two of my new favorite pictures of Riley from the party.

Sadly we had to leave this party early as well in order to get to the airport on time, but it worked out perfectly with naps and such anyway.  And Riley was a very good baby on the flight home, and now I'm exhausted and need to get to sleep!  Fun weekend away, but so glad to be back!

I am certain she just cannot get any cuter!!!! The picture of the three of them in the wagon?? Needs to be framed somewhere!!

And I'm a bit dismayed that Riley has flown WAY more than I have. That's just not fair LOL
