A boy and his dog

When I was pregnant with Carter, I was a bit worried about how Libby would react to having a baby get most of the attention that she previously had received. Thankfully she is smart enough to realize that she needed to look after him, and she usually is not too far from him. She's even quite tolerant of his wrestling and leg or tail pulling, which she would have torn me apart for doing. Since Carter takes most of his naps on his pallet in the den, Libby seizes every opportunity to get some snuggle time.
(side note-these pictures should also be a good indication to you of the one-man tornado that we have on our hands...)

I blame Eve

As in the first woman in the bible. The one that listened to that blasted snake and ate the forbidden fruit. Seriously girl, why would you take advice from a snake?? They have no feet, no legs, stick their tongue out at you, and this particular one spoke. I imagine my response to a talking snake would be somewhere in the neighborhood of a complete mental breakdown, in which said snake would probably seize the opportunity to strangle me to death.

Fortunately, the snakeS (yes, plural) that I encountered did not speak to me. They were too busy being entangled in on another in a scene I would describe as disturbing to say the least, to even notice my presence. Seeing dogs do the nasty is one thing, but snakes?? Oh geez, I could have done without that for sure.

Upon encountering these horrific creatures, which at first appeared about the size of a boa constrictor due to their, ahem, getting busy, naturally I screamed and began hyperventilating, turned my back and froze. Carter didn't see them or maybe doesn't yet understand just how terrifying snakes are, but was hysterical himself because he thought I was crying because I saw a grasshopper, which is the only bug he is scared of. After a few moments of deep breathing, I composed myself enough to snap a picture only to prove how freaking big they were, and one made its way under the lawn mower while I did that. We then ran around the side of the barn to my car, where I sobbed my way to my mom's house and gave her a heart attack when I ran in the door so upset.

Am I crazy for being so terrified of snakes?? I don't think so. Probably my first question to God when I reach heaven will be really God?? Snakes?? Seriously the most useless living creature on the planet. You will never convince me otherwise. A good cat will kill as many rodents, so to Craigslist I go in search of a couple of free outdoor cats.

Because we can't get the internets in the boonies...

I'm tired of being a bad blogger, so until I get around to lugging my laptop to mom's to borrow her Internet for awhile, I'm unloading the last month-ish of pictures from my phone.


Napping with Libby



Wearing my dress??



Being goofy with Brycen



Forgetting that shirts go on heads, not bobos



Ready for a swim party, complete with stealing Daddy's glasses



First dollar dog!



Rangers game with good friends



We babysat baby Rigg one night and Carter was so sweet with him!

He truly falls asleep in some really weird ways...this one with his hand in my shoe

His shorts on his head. Do you see a pattern here??

And last but not least....



Baby Romero!!! Due to arrive sometime around the end of this year. Although C and I are so excited for this new adventure, carter is slightly less than thrilled...when you ask him if he wants a brother or sister, or a baby in general, you get a very stern response of "nope!!" He'll come around, right??

Official Wedding Pictures!

Last week we recieved our CD of all our pictures in the mail! I am blown away at how amazing they all are, and out of the bazillions of pictures I had a hard time choosing just a few to share here. So prepare yourself for overload....

Yes that is my bra flying through the air. Christiaan about died when he saw this one, but I think it was really cool that she caught that moment!

The Romero boys

This picture cracks me up every time!

Brooke painted this peacock picture by looking at something that I found on Pinterest. Crazy talented.

My mom and I made the two pendants for my bouquet, one with a picture of my dad and the other with a picture of Christiaan's nanny

Supermodels

Dying laughing over the card/present that Christiaan gave me....his debit card!

Jack got into the ink pads literally minutes before the ceremony, and I thought we were going to have to find a substitute ring bearer, but Brooke let him live :)

And Christiaan died a bit more when he saw this one! 

Probably my favorite picture out of all of them.  I had no idea that my brothers were going to be there, and I think someone put them there in case I decided at the last second that I couldn't walk alone.

ALL of my family!

Christiaan's family with his mom

With his dad's family

Our good looking wedding party!

The socks were C's gift from me





This is my favorite wish card!
