Day at the Farm

We had a particularly nice weekend this weekend.  It was much busier than the usual Filleman pace, but tonight Mark and I both commented that it was just a nice weekend.  Saturday, while I threw a baby shower, the boys got to spend the entire day with Mark's extended family - center of attention - their fave!  Saturday night we had more cousin fun at Eli's birthday dinner and today we had a really pleasant afternoon with family and friends at an outdoor wedding.  In any other circumstance, a wedding with all three boys would probably never have been described as "pleasant" but an outdoor wedding, on a beautiful day, surrounded by wonderful people, with hay rides and tractors to entertain the boys made for a really great afternoon.  Davis was actually interested in the "wedding" part.  During the ceremony he was full of questions:  "Why is her white dress so puffy? THAT is what Eli wants to do?? (haha) Who will go next, do we all have to go up there to get married? Why did Grayson just eat your make-up puff?  (uh huh, awesome!)"

I don't always see it - but Grayson's expression and chubby little face in this picture looks a lot like my baby pictures to me.

I was watching G eat your makeup applicator like it was a cookie, very funny!
NO E doesn't want to do that!! He is married to me for the next umm 30 years! That is funny, E didn't say anything, I don't think he cared enough about the ceremony to figure out what they were doing and I don't think he really knows what marriage is.

Very cute. Looks like the wedding was lots of fun. Very cool that is was a relaxing and fun time with all your kids at a wedding...that statement doesn't ever get said!

Fun indeed. here's the funny thing about weddings and little boys...Michael has married Annabelle about three times since that wedding. He wanted the whole family to gather around (on our lot at the farm) while they held hands facing each other. Then apparently he picked up on "the kiss" b/c he tried to plant one on Annabelle-thankfully she pulled away just in time! We all decided we may need to move to Alabama. ;) Anyway, very funny.....
