Jonas seems pretty unimpressed with the giant Little Einsteins.

Violet was thrilled to stand in line for 30 minutes to get this picture, though.

Nice smile, bud!  Now can you smile at the camera?

Oh, excellent.  Good to see a day spent in a rental stroller hasn't made you cranktastic.

Rental stroller?  You should be more worried about the 400 degree temps making me cranky!  I feel a tantrum coming on now!

When you're less than three feet tall,

you need help seeing the princess in the big musical show.

Jonas stayed awake for hours in the stroller.

Then we get in line for Small World specifically because he likes it, and he fell asleep in my arms.

In case you were wondering - this kid? IS HEAVY.

Here we have the one that didn't fall asleep.

Looking a *little* fried. (Also wet - we soaked her to combat the 400 degree temps.)

Now there will be 14 pictures of Violet admiring herself in this mirror.

"Yeah.. there we go.  That is JUST what Belle's sleeves look like."

"Hmm.  Maybe a little lower..."

"Man, I am BEAUTIFUL!"

"Look at me!  I can't help it - I need a kiss."

"Holy cow!  I can't believe Dad got a picture of me kissing my own reflection!"

"You'll delete that one, right? It won't make it on the website?"

"Farewell, mirror Violet.  Until we meet again..."

The movie theaters in Tampa have everything!

Video games..

Giant cardboard cutouts for taking cheesy pictures...

Ridiculous adults willing to have their picture taken with Patrick Dempsy (I think she was trying to kiss him here.  Gotta love her.)

Oh yeah, I totally got one of Joe as the bride.  :)

Violet climbs her first tree.

Thanks, in large part, to guidance from her cousin Ashley.

Jonas and Pepa play with a remote controlled car.

Yes, it's possible that he's wearing his sister's pants.

Trust me, he doesn't' want to talk about it.

Here we have three terrible pictures of Jonas and his Grandpa. First the nose-picking.

Then the talking (Jonas is actually pretty cute here.)

Then the eyes closed/tongue out pose.  Honestly, guys.  Would it kill you to smile?

Violet prepares for her big rehearsal.

And she's off!  A cuter flower-girl-in-training has never been seen.

Wedding day Jonas.  Very stylish, if I do say so myself.

This is the one group shot Joe got a picture of.  After this one things got a little crazy for him.

Crazy?  Who's crazy? 

Ah.  I see.  One burnt-out flower girl, throwing a tantrum on the grass.

Jonas runs in for the "tush squoosh" while she's down.

Which earns him a high-five from the heatless bride and groom.

Did you see that?  They're encouraging him to bother me?

So mean.  All I need is some food. (We realized, 30 min after the blow-up, that she was waaaay past her normal dinner time.  Whoops.)

Uh oh.  Looks like Jonas is starting to lose it, too.

Yeah, there it is.  I love this picture so so much.  I was determined to get one of them in their matching outfits, whether Jonas cooperated or not. 

Fueled up and in a better mood, the kids play "Chase the Dad" around the lawn.

It's so much fun, the pick up a couple extra kids.  Joe was like the Pied Piper of the reception.

The children resist all attempts at a quality group shot.

They are, however, all up for a group hug.

Nothing endears you to little kids faster than letting them chase you around.

Dinner's over, fancy dresses are off, time to DANCE!

Look at Jonas get down!

We totally opened the dance floor.  Nobody was out there until we started. :)

More attempts to get pictures of my matching boys.

Father/son slow dancing = super cute.

I think this one actually came from Grams.  Whoever sent it, isn't it gorgeous?  Just look at us!  Beautiful!

The happy couple.  Congrats again, Irwins.

Here we have my little ham walking down the aisle. She actually stopped to pose for the photographers.

The walk back up the aisle with her cousin, Gianni.  Gianni's sister was not having any of this.  Where were they going?  Why were they so dressed up?  Why hadn't anyone invited her?  Only one thing to do - follow and make sure they didn't have any fun without her.

Post-front-yard-meltdown (see my photos, above.)  She's very "no pictures, please" here.

And where was Jonas during all this hoopla?  With Grandma and Grandpa, of course!

Ok, now Joe is here with them.. but where am I?

Aha.  At the chocolate fountain.  Duh.

Well, come on!  I needed my energy for dancing with the kiddos!

Plus, there was that whole "no eating the week before the wedding" thing.  That chocolate fountain was like an oasis in a desert. 

No idea where Violet is here.  You would think with all these other camera-wielding relatives, we could get a picture of all four of us.

Question: How can you tell it's past Jonas's bedtime? Answer: He and his bear are strapped to Mommy.

Things to note in this picture: Joe is airborne, Violet is a dancing fiend, the Bride is holding a beer. Party on, dudes.

My kid is sooooooooooo funny.

And so sweet.  This is how the night ended - Violet and Daddy slow dancing.

This is me, line dancing with an overtired two-year-old strapped to me.

This is me, explaining to everyone how Jonas told me "All done dancing, Mommy!" when he'd had enough.

Jonas.  What on earth are you doing?

Watching Yo Gabba Gabba.  Upside down.  Interesting.

AAAAH!  I love it!

Speaking of love - you can't make this stuff up, folks.

These are pictures of Violet, gazing adoringly at pictures of Rowan, who is the boy she plans to marry.  Yes, really.

Hey bud!  Are you old enough to be climbing that ladder?

Heck yeah, Mommy!  I'm old enough to swing on this bar, too!

Speaking of swinging - why sit on your butt when you can fly on your belly?

Hey, Twink, can I get a picture of that outfit?

Sure, Mommy!  Show everyone what you get when you ask me to put on "park clothes" !!!

Here's the one that still lets me pick out his clothes.

A two-year-old daredevil.  Great.

More random park pictures.  I can't help myself - he's so photogenic.

Even while eating his snack, I can't stop taking pictures of him. (BTW - this is what a park in the middle of a crater looks like.)

Another stylish outfit.  This one actually matches, which warms my Mommy heart.

Another picture of the cutest boy on the planet.  Look at that sweet face!  Looking at this, you would never think he was a terrorist, eh?

Kids?  What the heck is going on here?

Are you swimming laps in the tub?

Oh, this is Daddy's latest genius idea for keeping soap out of the eyes?  Ok, I can go with that.

Oh, man.

When she put on the pink shirt and the pink skirt, I was thinking...

this isn't going to work.

But then she added the pink tank top and the pink shoes and the pink sunglasses and necklace and headband and watch and purse and bracelet...

and I think it kinda does.

What the heck?!

BIG BOY UNDERPANTS!

He asked for "panties like Violet", so we got some.

Thomas the train.  Supercute.

This was taken 30 minutes later, after he peed in his underpants and got his arm stuck in this toy.  The face I'm making is directed at Joe, for taking pictures instead of helping me.  Geesh.
