Photobooth Fun

So Mimi and Shane had this cool thing at their wedding...it's called a photobooth! Mimi's friend, Katie Baker, was on hand to take photos... and she brought some really cool props! Take a look!

I really liked these moustaches...

And these satin gloves were meant for me...I just wish they would have fit a little better.

This is my cousin, Lexy. I was going for the rock n' roll look here...

Me and Mimi wore matching hats...and I really liked this cane thing I was holding.

All in all it was really fun. And I just LOVE looking at all these photos of myself. I'm so cute sometimes...

My Buddy Nana

This is my buddy Nana. I love to play with her because she has such a good imagination...just like me! One of our favorite games to play is to pretend we live in England and we are orphans. We have to make a living in the woods and do things like look for food to eat and gather firewood - which I'm really good at by the way.

Some Good Pickin'

I don't know if you know this, but Saturday was a perfect day to go apple picking!



This year we decided to go to the spot Nana and Papa used to take Mumma. It's an orchard called Conant's and you know what the best part is?!
The ladders!



Some I climbed all by myself, and some Daddy helped me with a little--especially when I went up really high.



The only problem was, he made them all wobbly! That was a little scary and I had to let him know that I, in fact, did NOT trust him.

After a little ladder picking, Mumma and I found some down-low apples that I could reach from the ground.



We filled this whole big bag!



I took that picture- thankyouverymuch and this gorgeous picture of Mumma sneaking an applelicious snack!



After some successful picking, I took the time to climb some trees. Isn't that cool that you can actually climb the trees here?!



Next year, I'll teach Bijou how to pick and climb!

New Tricks

Saturday was a very busy day for me. I started this new thing called Geenastics and it's just about the best thing ever.

We get to do all sorts of fun things on this bouncy blue floor like an obstacle course



and a great big trampoline, and some bars that we practiced holding ourselves up on and swinging from.

I learned that I'm pretty strong!



After geenastics Mumma and I went to baby Henry's birthday party. He was turning one, and I guess he wasn't too happy about it...



... oh well. Next time we'll get a picture of us actually touching.

We had hamburgers and hotdogs and cupcakes and played in the sun. It was pretty awesome.

Then it was off again! We had one more stop on our busy Saturday and that was to meet Alyssa, Vivian, Nana Mumma, and their friend Gail in Downtown Bangor. I just love those guys!

This Saturday will be busy too- we're going APPLE PICKING! I can't wait!

The Real Deal

So Mumma didn't get very many pictures of Mimi and Shane's wedding- in fact, only 2 turned out at all. She said something about me not cooperating, or something like that.
I just figured Mimi's photographer Mark was such a pro, that he'd take care of all that picture stuff.
We did get these two before the actual wedding.

Mumma wore pretty green...



and Rianna and I wore these fancy numbers.



You can't see it very well, but Rianna and I are wearing headbands that Mumma made for us months and months ago. I've been wearing mine pretty much every day leading up to the wedding and guess what? I broke it while I was getting dolled up. Mum was pretty mad, and so was I. I melted into a puddle, really. Daddy-o tried to fix it up with some scotch tape... but it only made it through the ceremony before someone tossed it in the trash. Poor Mum, I think she was really at her wits end with me.

All-in-all I think Mimi and Shane's wedding went off without a hitch! It's pretty awesome that I have an uncle now... I've never had one of those before!

Mimi and Shane's Practice Wedding

So when you get married you have to have a practice wedding the day before to make sure you don't mess up on the big day. Mimi and Shane had their practice wedding at the same place I saw Santa last Christmas! I was super excited because my friends, Rianna and Zander, were in the wedding with me and I really like them.

Rianna, Zander, and I had to practice walking really slow down the aisle in front of Mimi and Pup. Mimi said that it was because everyone would like to see us in our pretty outfits. Rianna and I even practices throwing rose petals.

After all that boring practice, we went back to the building for some treats and presents! Mimi got me an awesome sticker book all about The Princess Frog! I loved it so much I gave her the biggest hug I could...


Wanna know something funny? The last time I saw the photographer, Mark McCall, was at Abby and Dane's wedding last summer. I was wearing the EXACT same dress! Guess I spent this year growing up and not out....

More photos of Mimi's big day to come later....
