A beautiful celebration and a little head trauma

We spent the weekend up on Flathead lake for the wedding of our friends Rajiem and Jayne Seabrook. Rajiem and Jim became friends through the Missoula Raptors. They have been very close ever since. We had an amazing time! They had the perfect setting for their ceremony and reception. Rajiem's family came in from New York and Jayne's from Utah. We met some very nice people. Jim was one of the groomsmen and Chris was the ring bearer. They were both very handsome! Christopher and Charlie both danced the night away! Chris danced until Daddy picked him up and then he fell asleep on Dad's shoulders. An exact repeat for our friends Kristi and Tim's wedding a year ago. Chris had to bust out his break dancing skills. The entire crowd and DJ got a kick out of it. They made quite the impression on everyone.  I had many people ask if they could take the boys home with them. Chris made himself a little girlfriend with the flower girl. Actually with all of the bridesmaids too! Quite the ladies man he is. Charlie is too! He also won over the bridesmaids and a little girl that was the same age as him. Right before we headed home she walked over and puckered her lips and what do you know Charlie leaned in and kissed her. Jim and I are in trouble with guys! Gonna have to fight the girls off of them!

Charlie too had a little adventure this weekend.

We were out on the basketball court and he tripped over his own feet. His head met the basketball pole and the pole won. He got quite the gash above his eyebrow. He didn't cry for very long. It is a pretty intense wound. Thank god he has all that baby fat there or we think it could have been a lot worse. We drove him to the ER in Kalispell. Luckily he had no other head injuries (thankfully he didnt hit the pole much harder or we would be dealing with more head trauma) and did not have to get stitches. They just glued the wound shut. He even flirted with the nurses. The only part that he did not like was when we had to restrain him so the doc could glue him up. The wound looks good now. He will have a very nasty scar though. It hasn't even phased him that anything is wrong. Our poor baby has had a rough 1st year of life!

Lots to come in the weeks ahead!

Just got back from a quick trip to Missoula for a memorial service for a sweet friend of mine. Her name was Tiffani Turner. She passed away at the young age of 31 to cancer. She was one of my supervisors at Finn and Porter. She was a wonderful person. They boys and I took a quick trip over with my dear friend Kristi Mauws. Had a wonderful time being with her. She always brightens my days.
Now we are getting ready to spend the weekend up at Flathead Lake. Our dear friends Reggie and Jayne are getting married up there. Jim is a groomsmen and Christopher is the ring bearer. I will post picture when we get back. They are both going to look very handsome. Christopher has been "practicing" for a dance off that he is planning to have with another friend of ours. Should be quite entertaining!
Then next week our little stinker Chris is turning 4! Cannot get over that! Then 4th of July, another wedding after that, my grandparents 55th wedding anniversary after, and the list just keeps going! Going to be a very crazy but fun summer. I am going to try and be better about keeping this updated. So I will post new pics of the boys when I can. Hope that everyone out there is doing well and is hopefully getting a little bit of sunshine!

Finally!

We are finally settled into Great Falls. We have a cute little 2 bedroom apartment. Finally on a routine. We are loving everyday here. There is a lot to do with the boys. They are still adjusting but are doing very well. Some of our dearest friends live an hour away so we seem quite frequently. One of them has 2 little guys the same ages as our boys. So it is very nice. Jim is really enjoying his job. It has been quite awhile since he has been this happy with a job. He is learning a lot and doing quite well for himself. I am very proud of him.

The boys are getting very big! Lil Charlie just turned 1. Can't believe how fast time is going by! Lil Chris is going to be 4 next week. Not sure which child makes us feel older. Charlie learns something new everyday. Christopher is very good about helping out and teaching his brother things. Chris is vivacious as ever! He really is too smart for his age. And he can remember things like no other. We are so proud of our little guys. We are blessed to have such an amazing little family.

Hope everyone out there is doing well!
