Addie's Wedding

YIPPEE, Addie got hitched! It is official, Adele is married to a wonderful man named Rob and is now Adele Bedford. There had to have been around 400 people at the ceremony and reception, because, the whole world has been waiting and praying for her to meet a wonderful man who, would love her and Blake with all of their bumps and bruises. It was a beautiful wedding with Rob, Addie, and Blake walking down the aisle to the theme song from Star Wars and I cried the instant the music started playing. I didn't really get any photos from the wedding since I was holding Maddox but the few I do have I shall share.

Maddox and I drove up to Bozeman Friday morning and had a long stop 30 minutes into the drive so I could clean up the huge mess he had made in his britches. I threw his onesie away and spent a good 15 minutes and a ton of wipees to get him "clean", all while he is screaming, not crying, screaming. I was happy to get to Bozeman and drop him off with a babysitter so I could go get pampered.
Friday afternoon, all of the Myers gals got pedicures and chit-chatted which was relaxing and fun. Friday night we all went to the Bozeman Beer Fest and enjoyed unlimited pours from a BUNCH of Micro Breweries, which was also Julian's 22nd Birthday celebration. Saturday, several of us got our hair done and sipped on mimosas; eventhough they had no attendants I sure looked like I should be a bridesmaid. I felt sassy! Saturday afternoon we did family wedding photos and that night they tied the knot.

I wish I were better at planning ahead. This said, the four of us shared a good sized room. We had two blow up matteresses and the pack-and-play... no blankets though. Maddox had his favorite blankets but the first night, the grownups slept with towels draped over us for warmth. Our gracious hosts provided us with comforters the second night and we were all much happier. Maddox is teething and, I presume, didn't like the new surroundings, and screamed bloody murder until someone rescued him.... I didn't get much sleep. Although it was a wonderful weekend, I'm really happy it is over. The anxiety caused by my lack of planning, all of the activities, and lack of sleep is now gone after a great night back in our own beds.

Maddox wore his tuxedo and was very regal looking, sadly, it was the last time. He has grown to be a small man and no longer fits into his fancy duds :(

Rather than do the Easter festivities, since Maddox is clueless, Bing, Julian, Maddox and I went to Chico Hot Springs and enjoyed wonderful, sunny weather and warm spring waters. Maddox loves swimming, and particularly loved all the warm sunniness.

After leaving Chico we missed the turn to get back to the interstate and wound up taking a slightly longer, more beautiful route and stopped for a "Montana" photo shoot. We got back to Billings around 9:30 p.m. and crashed into bed. What a weekend!
