Tree
We had Montgomery's 18 month photos taken by my friends Brandon and joy!!! And today while they were editing, this was messaged to me via Facebook!!! Too funny and made me giggle, so enjoy!!!
Downtown...
Our small town does a downtown trick-or-treating, on the Saturday before Halloween!!!
I found this costume at a second hand store, downstate for $3. The only thing I did to the costume was hot glue the ear piece to the hat, which was too big, but works with a winter hat underneath. He is also wearing tons of layers under his costume and blue gloves.
Daddy came along!!! Saturdays are Montgomery and daddy day!!! But I really wanted to take him to this event, so chuck brought him home, I changed him and then took him downtown!!!
Audrey and Montgomery

Wedding
It's finally 10-4 and my little brother is marrying my best friend!!! I'm the maid-of-honor and Montgomery is the ring bearer!!
Our day started off by doing my hair, then Meagan and Gina came to moms at 11 to do their hair and Millie's.
Then off to the ballroom to do makeup and get dressed!!!
I should have dressed Montgomery first because while getting him dressed I kneeled in cheese :( so I had to wash my dress in two different spots due to grease. But all is good! I don't think anyone will notice!!!
We took a million photos!!! (Here's a few I took)
And.... One I snagged off Facebook...
One Grma Cindy took of my handsome little man
And here are some from our funicular ride up to the treehouse for photos...
Then it Was wedding time: Rizzy and I walked down the aisle, handed Montgomery off to Craig and fingers crossed that he would do what he was suppose to do. & guess what?!? He did it!!! No pillow, but he walked down the aisle (no Millie) all by himself :) I'm so proud of my baby!!!!
My cousin Alicia came to pick up Montgomery...
It was party bus time.
Then the wedding party returned and we headed up the funicular...
We were introduced, and sat to eat, then time for my maid-of-honor speech
I think my speech went good!!!
( thanks for the photos Chloe)
On to the first dance, by this time is when I realize that my camera is still attached to the stroller, which left with my son :( so I guess iPhone will have to work all night.
It was an Amazing night!
Rehearsal
We changed into our fancy dudes and it was time for rehearsal. First the ball room and it went well.
Montgomery threw the pillow down the aisle, so we will see how it goes tomorrow. Fingers crossed, that he will walk down the aisle. We then headed over to the BOB for a wonderful dinner!!!
What an amazing dinner, meatloaf, chicken, ceasar salad, yummy redskin mashed potatoes, and rolls!
Then there was an ice cream bar!!!
Cara and I, her last night as a single woman and with all her girls
While downtown GR we got to see some Artprize stuff!!! Two right by the BOB were "the hand" and "fire dragon"
Zoo
Since we had to be downstate on Thursday 10/3 for rehearsal.... (My little brother is getting married on Friday) I decided to take Montgomery to the zoo, John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids!! He loved the aquarium, the petting area and the new play area!!! It was a hot and humid day for October!!! We brought our lunch to the zoo and ate it up by the wooden train and ropes coarse!!!
We walked up to the treehouse: where the reception is tomorrow and were amazed at how awesome it was:
We then walked down: literally 100 steps To get down to the fountain: which is closed for the season: total bummer!!!
Towards the end it was time for a snack!! I grabbed a pop and montgonery ate his applesauce and pudding.
And then we played on the playground by the zoo!!!!!
It's almost time for rehearsal.......
