This weekend was Thomas & Tiffany's wedding (my sister-in-law & now brother-in-law). Saturday night we had a dinner at the Bailey's house along with all of the wedding party and out of town guests. Andrew had so much fun at Pama & Papa's house and loved playing with his cousins Elizabeth, Brody & Cade.
Sunday was the wedding in Camas, Wa at the Fairgate Inn. The place was absolutely beautiful! Ava and I spent the afternoon getting ready with the girls at the Bailey's house. Nate met us at the wedding location so Andrew could get a little bit of a nap (unfortunately he didn't take a good nap that day). I quickly got all of us ready and he looked absolutely adorable in his tux and Ava was the cutest thing in her little dress (it matched the flower girl dress). Andrew and his cousin Elizabeth ran around the place while we waited for pictures. They completely feed off each other...when one screams, the other screams. Oh my, it took a lot of work from us moms (thanks Melissa for all your help) for us to somewhat control these kids. They were just so excited to spend the day together! When the wedding started Andrew was supposed to carry the rings down the aisle which were attached to some books. He, of course, did not want to carry the books. He wanted to carry the flowers like Elizabeth, the flower girl. This was quite the battle. Luckily Papa was able to convince him to carry the books (thank you Bud!) and he did a great job walking down the aisle and standing next to me. He held my hand and Elizabeth's for about half of the ceremony until he decided to go sit with Daddy. After the wedding he ran around the place and danced with all of the kids. He had so much fun and did not want to leave. It was getting late (probably 8:30...past his bedtime!) so my parents took him back to their house for a sleepover. He had a rough time sleeping - poor thing has a really hard time being separated from us lately.
Ava did a great job the whole day. She really is a sweet baby and didn't fuss all day. I think that's because she was being held all day....she loves being held :)
Nate did a reading during the wedding and said some really sweet things about his sister.
Tiffany looked beautiful. I was so honored to be a part of their wedding and Nathan and I are excited to welcome Thomas into the family. Thank you Thomas and Tiffany for letting us be apart of your wedding day. We wish you a lifetime of happiness....we love you!
My little family!
I wish we had more pictures from the day, but chasing a toddler and taking care of a newborn we didn't get many pictures :(
P.S. Bud & Twyla-you did a great job at hosting this wedding. Twlya, you looked beautiful....and Bud, you clean up pretty well too :)

Well, now that I'm not the only uncle, I think I'll fade into obscurity. This sucks.
Andrew must have known how you were feeling, Cory. When he went to bed Sunday night and we said prayers, he said..."how 'bout pray for Uncle Cory"...still thinking about you...no worries!
What a fun family weekend!! You made it! :) You guys looked great...I love weddings, they make for such good photo opportunities. :)
