The announcement read: Mykael & Jaden are pleased to FINALLY announce the marriage of their mom Bonnie to their dad in training, Randy....
This has been an exciting thing to look forward to in our family. And it turned out to be a really fun night!
Everyone looked really good. And everyone had a great time! It was a relaxed atmosphere. Not stuffy and proper like most weddings can be.
I've gone back and looked at old pictures. Read old journal entries. And it always says the same thing. "Look how much you've grown." And they just keep growing!
What's up stud!?
This was requested by Randy. He wanted the two kids to sit down and make a list of everything they expected and wanted out of him when becoming their dad. Technically he's been here for more than half their lives...but it was still important to him that they do this. He really is so great with them and perfectly compliments the four of us parents.
Bonnie's bouquet. This really shows you how gorgeous the orchids were!
All the boys....minus the other dad.
Cutting a bit of
my heart the cake apart.
"
Bring him to me boys!" quoted Bonnie
He really didn't want to.
Really. Didn't.
But Ash was all too accomodating!
It was such a fun night that when we left....all three boys had melt downs on the way home. And it was only 9:30pm. Good times!
**************************
A little background for those of you who don't know....Bonnie is my husband's ex-wife and for 7 of the 8 years I've been married to Jared...Bonnie and I have been really good friends. We spend ALL our birthdays and Christmas' together, in addition to school events and fun activities. It's not "normal" for most split family "standards"...but it was easier to get along then to hate each other. Plus the kids benefit from it. There are moments of disagreements when it comes to raising the kids, but nothing that isn't worked out or big enough or worth breaking our "family" apart. At this point....I don't think anything will. And that's cool. It's become that strong.
