A wedding, a reunion and some relaxation



The two youngest nephews Dean and Quinn.  So cute sleeping in their carseats.




Andrew learned how to pull himself into a standing position at the reception.



This is a long post so don't expect a short one.  Cheryl (Ryan's aunt) and Blake got married the first weekend of August.  They were happy and looked fabulous and completely in love, just like it should be.  Cheryl is close enough in age to Ryan and his siblings that I often find myself thinking of her as a sister-in-law, so we're excited to add another uncle/brother-in-law to the family.



Some of the guys just chilaxin'




The happy couple

 There was to be a Holmes family reunion but it turned into a Ryan and Rachelle reunion.  We went to Idaho and spent 3 days up near Ashton.  It was relaxing and a beautiful area.  We went to Mesa Falls and up into the mountains near Driggs and walked around Treasure Mountain scout camp that Ryan's dad was the camp director of when Ryan was young.  We saw fresh bear scat by the lake; kind of made me a little nervous.  Andrew found a pile of pebbles and promptly sat down in the middle of them to play.  That made me smile. He's 100% boy.

We were able to get some nice family pictures from Eric's aunt who was kind enough to come and take them for us.

Since then we've just been hanging out at home trying to get Andrew back on a regular sleeping schedule.  He's lately decided that he wants to go up and down the stairs.  He'll head straight for them and attempt to go down head first.  Thankfully, we've caught him before he's managed it.  We're teaching him to do stairs, hopefully he'll learn quickly.




Andrew's new trick.  Love it!





Can't get enough of these curls!
