Mr. & Mrs. Redding

April 26, 2013
Katie and Taylor were sealed in the Oakland Temple!
It was a beautiful and fun day.

The kids had so much fun with their cousins, Kya and Evie.

The were cute all dressed up and matching.

 

Z LOVED the reception! He was everywhere doing whatever he wanted.

Everyone kept saying that they always found him at the candy table.

He came to me with a bag full of more candy then he got at Halloween!

He also loved the dance floor. He asked me to come dance with him, 

but then started pulling out his break dancing moves that made it hard to dance to the slow song.

Jane played forever with the bubbles. It was pretty cute.

We did the photobooth a few times. Z loved it.

Back East Trip: Last days in Baltimore

 We were so excited to check out Uncle Andrews work (Digital Harbor Foundation).

They had some really cool balloons left over from an event there.

Afterwards we went and played at a park that has a pretty cool view of the city.

 

Matching, matching, matching.

Playground right outside their house. All it has is a fire pole. Z always wanted to play on it.

 We are totally jealous of our cousin. She has the coolest library ever!!!

It seriously is a mini children's museum! The kids had so much fun in the different rooms.

 So Zachary really likes to shorten peoples names. Lydia was known as Lid the 

entire trip. She also was just buddy a lot. He was pretty cute with her. 

It's nice to see that he can be soft with little kids because we all know he is not with Jane. ;)

Giving Lid some of our favorite things for her 1 year birthday: doll, crocs, and book!

Thanks for having us! We had so much fun!!

Back East Trip: Baltimore

Our last stop was Baltimore to the Coy's house! Last time we saw our cousin Lydia she was

2 months, so it was super fun to be with her around her one year mark. 

We didn't realise until we got to the airport that we forgot to put the stroller in, but she

was super nice and shared it with us (mostly Z). :)

I always enjoy visiting people just to see their everyday life. So it was fun to do a run with Ann around

Fort McHenry, and play at the parks that they visit often.

The kids loved the short ride on the water taxi to walk around the Harbor.

 

We did a small walk around Fort McHenry. I a few days later runnning I notiiced a signs everywhere saying that there is no sitting on the ledge. Oops. Don't know how we missed that one. 

April 18th...my birthday! We went into DC for my birthday. Last time we visited we did all of the monuments, but didn't make it into Arlington Cemetery, so I wanted to see that. The kids like the tram ride and it was cool to check it out. We stopped at the tomb of the unknown soldier for the changing of the guards. 

 

 

Then we had a picnic lunch. With some amazing homemade rice kripsy treats made by Ann.

(I made some the other week and they did not come close to how good hers were!)

We all went to the Air and Space museum.

 

On our way to the Nateral History Museum both girls feel

asleep. So Ann and I walked them around the Mall while the boys went in. Lee said Z was loving it.

I thought some of these pictures were pretty cute. Z took some for Lee. :)

We came home and Anderew was there watiitng to head to pizza dinner with us.

We had a  yummy dinner and afterwards had cake and ice-cream.

Zac was beyond happy about the cake part. It was pretty cute.

If you look at the pictures he is randomly gone.

We had left one light on in the front room for the singing of "happy birthday"

that he needed to leave in the middle and turn it off. The night we even got
some game playing in when the kids went down!
It was a super fun birthday. And way fun to be with family for it!
