Wedded Summer

Nick got married last weekend and it was fantastic. Good times. I know that our family is big and can fill up a half a church for a wedding, but Tiffanie's family may be able to 1-up us. We have Lemiere's, Nordstrom's, Snyder's, Zerby's, Burnett's, Alexander's, Sanchez's, and so on and so on. As far as I could tell, Tiffanie's side of the church had Hutton's and Huhta's. And that's it. Crazy. On the one hand I could see them blowing up and having 7 kids, but on the other hand, have you seen their pictures in the previous post??? You can see some wedding pictures at http://www.virb.com/daleyhake . He's the same photographer that did Eric and Amber's - and there are a couple of them on there as well. Please check it out.

Kaed had his Kindergarten orientation this week and seems to be looking forward to going to a real school. He has embraced Butler Acres fully, but I'm going back and forth on whether or not I should tell him that Butter Lakers isn't quite the correct name... Should I say anything? He had another cute name-twist last week in the car. Dash sneezed and Kaed said, "Oh man, Dash just Blessyou'd all over the place." I absolutely did not correct him because we all should call sneezes "blessyou's". Here's Kaed in his new robe - when he wears it, he prefers to be called Obi-Wand.

Dash will be 4 months on Sept. 7 (when Kaed turns 6 by the way), and is getting chumpy as ever. He's laughing and in general just being a thick kid. He's getting dedicated this weekend at Leah's dad's church (he's a pastor) along with Leah's brother (Jesse)'s baby son Will. Pics will follow. New tricks? Not really, although at three months he was capable of holding his own bottle and actuall feeds himself. I'm not saying he's doing it on purpose, but he has drained a few bottles by himself. We're very proud.

Lastly, Dash had this picture up on the wall at the doctor's office for "breast-fed babies" and I think it fits better on a milk-carton. Please reply to this post with your caption for this picture:

Think twice about having kids...

My camera has a feature on it that allows you to take half a picture of one thing and half of another. When used incorrectly, you can produce some pretty interesting pictures. For example, this is Dash and Leah. Creepy.

Here's Kaed and his dad John. Smurf-like.

Here's Eric and Amber's first born.

And their last-born (for a reason).

Nick and Tiffanie will produce a "very beautiful" boy, named Sabian.

And his twin brother, Randal (after his gramps), but his dancer-name will be "Galaxy".

So be careful everybody. The next post will be after Nick and Tiff's blessed union.

Crash and burn Mav . . .

My computer crashed on me last week. Total bummer. I lost about 200 pictures (of baby Dash, and Kaed playing t-ball - bigtime bummer) and all my music on my itunes (about 2400 songs - ouch). So, my bloggies, if any of you should happen to have any of the many pictures I have emailed out in the last 4 months, email them back so I can retrieve a few. That would be great.

Speaking of great.
Two of my favorite people in the world, Great Uncle/Aunt Gene and Dodie will be enduring some tough times ahead based off of some bad news from the doctor. I love them very much and would appreciate it if you could mention them in your prayers in the next few months. They are two people I don't see enough of and like I said, I love them.
