Isaiah 3.5 years old, Jonathan (Two this month)
Jaime's older brother Leo finally took the plunge and got married this month. The irony in Jaime's family is that Jaime being the baby of the family was the first to get married and Leo being the oldest, is now the last. We are happy Leo finally met his FOREVER and love that Mara has joined the "Torres Clan."
It was Mara's and Leo's hope that Jonathan and Isaiah would be their ring bearers. I had high hopes for that to happen too, but I should have known better after the complete meltdown Isaiah and Jonathan both had in Men's Warehouse during their last rented suit fitting. I have never been so embarrassed and felt like such a horrible, incompetent mother than on this day. Isaiah was being defiant and refused to try on his pants and coat and Jonathan was bouncing off the walls. I had lost COMPLETE control of the two of them and the whole thing was a disaster. So when Jonathan jumped ship before the ceremony and Isaiah had a complete meltdown when it was his time to shine, the feeling was all too familiar.
Jaime and I were part of the wedding so we went down the isle first. Once it was Isaiah's turn he began crying and refused to walk. My Dad (who was there helping) decided to swoop him up and bring him down the isle. Usually it is the norm, to swoop crying kids up and head away from the ceremony, but we like to mix things up. Who needs bible versus, poems and flying doves when you can have a bratty, loudly crying, three and half year old serenading your wedding ceremony? Sorry Mara and Leo...you can't say we didn't try.

| Ready to GO! |
 |
| Isaiah was feeling sharp in his suit. |
 |
| My parents came to help us with the boys. So grateful! |
 |
| Trial run with Grandma Betty went PERFECT. |
 |
| Letting his cousin Andrew know, "I got this." |
 |
| ALL SMILES |
 |
| Isaiah staring to feel the pressure. |
 |
| And there you have it. |
 |
| Glad it was all over. |
