Weddings galore

Holy post, Heather! So fun to see everything the girls have been up to.  : )

We've had two weddings the past two weekends. Both were really beautiful, it has been fun having such positive things to celebrate the past couple weeks!

Hector, Juanita and Sophia got into town on Thursday, so we met up with them and Michelle for dinner Thursday night. Friday was the rehearsal at the wedding location up in Woodland, Washington (about 45 mins north of Portland).

The dinner space all set up for Heather and Bryce's wedding Friday night (just over a week ago)

 And Saturday of course was the wedding...

The "reveal" before photos before the ceremony - the first time they see each other all dressed up. Pretty cute. Its the only good photo we have of the bride and groom.

Toasts and speeches, my favorite part.

On Sunday, Ashley slept in really late (he has been sick for ages), I caught up on weekend chores around the house, we worked a bit on the basement and we bbq'd with everyone Sunday afternoon/evening at Michelle's house. Such a nice weekend. Ashley had breakfast with the gang on Monday a.m. before they all headed out.

This week, I traveled for work to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The weather was awesome and it felt like I was extending summer since it has started to feel a bit like fall in Portland already. I didn't get to take many good photos, but here's one of the geraniums that are all over town, so pretty:

I finally came down with Ashley's cold while in Idaho, so between that, work travel and being 7 months pregnant, this week was a bit tough. I've had really good energy up until recently.

On Friday night, I went to Ikea to get some storage for baby items (that place is crazy! Going solo was not a good idea - I lugged a shelf all over the store and into the car, oy.) and this weekend was Colette and Alex's wedding. So on Saturday, I made desserts for the wedding:

Before heading to the wedding around 2, we picked out paint colors for the basement, ran some other errands and the tile guy was over finishing the tile in the basement bathroom (exciting! its a tiny bathroom, but almost done, can't wait).

Again, I took no go photos of the wedding ceremony, but did get some of the reception, which was at the groom's parent's plant nursery in Washington - not far from where we were last weekend for Bryce and Heather's wedding.

Ashley in the bouncy house. : ) They had tons of games, a bouncy house, fire pit, etc., very fun.  

Overall it has been a really fun week of weddings - people are doing such unique and creative things at each event, its fun to see.

Today Ashley is off mountain biking (surprised?) around St. Helens with a buddy. I'm running errands (finally getting a car seat!), washing and organizing baby stuff now that I finally have storage for it, grocery shopping, made banana bread for a bake sale, worked on a quilted baby blanket I'm making - overall a really nice day. Hoping to get dinner together for us to do a little Labor Day bbq after Ashley gets home from biking.

Everyone is probably at Heather's today for Brooke's birthday/Labor Day celebration. Wish I was there with you! Miss you guys tons. XO
