Father's Day

Yesterday we had everyone over to celebrate Father's Day.  I wasn't able to capture many photos because I was too busy filling up water balloons.  Mohamed took my camera and managed to snap a few while I was busy.

And today, Cameron had insisted that Mohamed go for a swim with him and Emmersyn before he had to go to work.  The pictures from the weekend got interspersed....So, here are pictures from Father's Day weekend!

So cute of Justin and Emmersyn!

This girl just LOVES to EAT!

How cute are these two matching guys?

Nicole broke her hand just hours before the party....And she still managed to make it!  How awful to be one-handed for the next 6-8 weeks!

Mohamed started doing running dives into the pool!

More diving....

I think Mohamed was having more fun than the kids!

He was getting a bit out of control with all of his crazy dives.  I can't wait to see what he'll do when we get a REAL pool!

Time for some backward moves!

He was so funny!

I don't know how many water balloons I filled....hundreds probably.  I had 600 balloons....and I'm not sure how many were left at the end of the night.

Not sure how this happened....Tyler actually playing a sport other than basketball.  He also got into the pool for a little while.

Here Cameron was trying to double up on the intertubes.

And here are pictures from the water balloon fight.  It was basically Brad and Justin against everyone else.  Check out the flying balloons!

Hope everyone had a Happy Father's Day!

Another Cameron Classic

The other night I was laying down in bed with Cameron, putting him to sleep.  He asked me if he could get up and go to the bathroom (he needs permission to do EVERYTHING).  I, of course, said "yes."  He turned on the light in the bedroom so he could see, went to the bathroom, and came back to bed.  Before he got into bed, I said, "Turn off the light and shut the door."

Cameron: "You think you have no legs and arms?"

Me: "Yes, I do."

Cameron: "Then you do it.  Don't be so lazy."

Me:  "You turned on the lights and opened the door to go to the bathroom so you turn them off."

Cameron: "If you're not going to be my friend then I'm not going to teach you French words.  Do you know how to say 'bowling' in French?"

Me:  "No."

Cameron: "It's 'key'".

Me:  Just chuckling to myself.  He thinks he can use his French knowledge to manipulate me.  He is so smart!  I must ask him how to say A LOT of words in French if he uses this as a punishment in order to get me to do something.  How will he manipulate me a few years from now?  What information will he withhold from me then?  How to find the derivative of some imaginary number?  Too bad the one area I am completive in is academics.  I'm going to need to pull out some of my psychology tricks to use on his manipulation tricks!

I also found his legs and arms comment so funny.  I have no idea where he picked this up from.  I don't say this, and I'm sure Mohamed has never uttered these words....The kids at school talk in French.....Handy Manny, Mickey Mouse, Rolie Polie Olie....I want to know who taught him this......Amanda....Nicholas!!!!!  I know those two have Cameron mesmerized.

The Wedding

Okay...a picture is worth 1,000 words, right?  So, here are a few pictures to describe Justin and Crystal's wedding day....It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL.  I'll add a few words here and there...but that's about it...

These first few pictures where at mom and dad's before the wedding....

Brad was on his way out because....?????can't really remember why?  Being the best man he was sent over to Justin and Crystal's house to pick up or deliver something last minute....

The boys doing some last minute ironing....before the wedding...

How cute are these three?  These kids did a great job as they were the sole representatives for the kids on the Gerwatowski side.  Tyler, Melia, Cameron, and Emmerysn were no-shows.

How cute are all these girls?  

The moment was finally here.....The Bride had arrived!

And, she met me a few years ago for the first time with a camera in her face, and I thought it was only fitting that on her wedding day, she was met again by a close-up with my camera.  Doesn't she look gorgeous?

Check out those AWESOME shoes!  I LOVED them!

Here Crystal is getting her chocolate fix right before show time!

A few pictures in the church after the ceremony.

In the limo....Crystal was a bit in shock that she was actually married!

I don't think she wanted to waste any time changing her status on Facebook from single to MARRIED!

And, she was pointing to us the goofy guy she married.

These next few photos were taken during cocktail hour.

Crystal is trying to determine if she really felt a raindrop.

Brad did a great job giving his speech!

Justin and Crystal cutting their "PIE."  

Their first dance...

Daughter-Father Dance....

Followed by Mother-Son dance.

Nicole and Brad doing a little swing dancing.

And dad's FAVOURITE song to dance to "Runaround Sue."

I love Josh in the background of this pic!

That's it!
