A Maui Wedding

We had a great holiday in Maui this spring break where we attended Dean and Meghan's wedding.  It was a perfect day.

 Kelsey and the beautiful Megs getting their hair done.

 The ring bearer and flower girl all ready to go.

 Kelsey took her job very seriously and loved dropping the flowers.  Garrett walked down the aisle and handed over the rings so quickly I only got fuzzy shots.  I think he was afraid he was going to drop them.

 The beautiful bride and her dad.

 The happy couple.

 Hanging out with Grandpa Jerry.

 Dinner was amazing!

One tired little dude.  He was all partied out.

Lots of Smiles

An afternoon at the park.  Thanks for the photos Lori!

Hockey Madness

Getting a shot where all 3 kids are looking at the camera seems like an impossible task these days.  We took close to 20 photos to get this one.  Go Canucks Go!  Garrett loves his new jersey Uncle Dean and Aunty Meghan.

Garrett's Fifth Birthday Party

Oh dear I have been slow to organize photos this year.  I just downloaded over 300 photos from my camera.  Way back in January Garrett turned 5.  Crazy!  He is such a great kid.  He loves to make us laugh and he makes us proud to be his parents every day.

Here are a few photos from his party that I thought were worth posting.

Garrett wanted a Beyblade party which turned out to be difficult as it is impossible to find Beyblade decorations anywhere.  Lucky for us he is pretty easy going and was happy to just set up his stadium and let his friends play.  Let it rip!! 

The 50 flavours of jelly beans was a huge hit. 

 Blowing out the birthday cupcakes. 

Bouncy castle craziness. 

Quinn enjoyed most of the party from the backpack.  We certainly won't get away with this next year.
