Julie's Wedding, Part 1

These posts are already 2 months overdue, but I've decided to do them anyway.  The time we spent in Phoenix for Julie's wedding was so beautiful and special, and I want to chronicle those memories while they are still (somewhat) fresh in my mind!  These pictures aren't necessarily in the right order, but they were all taken in the days leading up to the wedding festivities.

Kaden & Serena's friendship is definitely starting to grow now that Serena is old enough to play with Kaden!  She thinks he's so fun!

Serena just loved playing out on the deck and sitting on the chairs!

Here we are out to eat at TGIF with the family

The lazy river was SO fun!  Somehow we convinced Serena to get in one of the rafts under Eric's care while I sat on the edge while Bret slept!

I think there was a visit to Starbucks every morning!  Serena & I had already eaten breakfast in our room, but she still begged bites off of other people's muffins.  ;)  I even got treated to a couple drinks, which was awesome!  :D

Like I said, these are terribly out of order!  But here's Serena with her soon-to-be Uncle Eric!

Poor Serena got all sick with a cold on our first day and was not feeling well the whole time we were in AZ.  She had bad nights and missed lots of naps.  :(  Her not feeling well was a major damper on the whole week, since it took a lot of her sparkle and made her very needy.  Boo!

Another Starbucks morning  ;)

Serena living the high life, haha!

Breakfast in our room.  :)  I had brought along oatmeal, homemade granola bars, homemade fruit roll-ups, and homemade graham crackers to get us through the week.  It was kinda like camping out, heehee!

Serena LOVED the pool!!!  She got so excited every time we got to go swimming!  She really liked playing with Jessica A.  Jess was SO sweet to her!

Grandma logged a lot of hours holding Bret!  She was an expert at getting him to go to sleep in spite of the heat and noise of the pool area!

Sweetie boy!  He loves this giraffe!

Serena loves copying Kaden, haha!

Hmmm....would you open that door???? ;)

I played 'fetch' with Kaden & Serena in the hallway outside our rooms.  Kaden kept telling me it was the "Awesomest game EVER!!!!"  ;D
