They each deserve a post all to themselves but......... they can learn to share

So my little sister got hitched!!!!!!
We like to call it a wedding in a day. They technically decided to get married that day at 1am and by 2pm it was done. It was just going to be a courthouse thing but with the neighbors and all of the talent around it ended up being a wedding. The above picture is the cake that was not planned just made. And not by a professional baker just by a friend and her sister. Isn't it amazing!!!!! I went with the groom to pick out rings and grab some ring sizers for a perfect fit until they have time to go back and get them sized. Don't worry they didn't just meet. They have been dating for awhile and have been talking about marriage. They ended up being married at the LDS church by Kallie's Bishop. It was actually really sweet! They are a very cute couple and I wish them all of the happiness in the world!!!


This bow tie belongs to my neighbor's 4 year old son. We decided it would look good for the reception.

Aren't they cute.

So chronologically this is all backwards. But we have had lots of visitors over the last couple of months. These are pictures of Dutch and Ava (my sister Katie's daughter). They came and stayed with us for 2 weeks. It was a blast and the girls played soooo cute together!

These are pictures of Phoebe and Jackson. My sister Jenny lives in Idaho and she was able to drive over just for one night! It was really fun to have them!

My mom got to come for a week and we had some much needed girl time. My mom got to see both of my sisters that came to visit. But they didn't get to see each other. So we didn't all get a picture together. But we did get one of "the three little girls" with our mom. It was soooooo great to have my mom here. I love her so much and always miss her when she isn't around. To be able to be around her for a whole week was amazing! I LOVE MY MOM!!! We splurged the whole week. Lots of lunches and dinners and trips to the mall just for fun. We played lots of games and even had a breakfast throw down. My kids had a ton of grandma time all to themselves. It was GREAT!

We also got to spend a lot of time with Ben's side of the family. I actually got to spend the whole week up at Ben's brothers house. His parents and brother Aaron and his family were here from out of town. We had a blast. Again lots of girl time and lots of WII time. So between all of us there were 8 kids 8 years and under. Oh man those kids had a blast!!!!!! They got to ride a train and see a 3D imax movie. And they got to play in the biggest, best play room ever. Now I did bring my camera but when I tried to take a picture I found out that my memory was full of all of the pictures from when my mom and sisters were here. After a day or so I decided it would be worth it to go through and erase some of the pictures so that I could get some of these cousins together too. But when I turned it on........... beep, beep, beep, ........low battery......die. So I guess it wasn't meant to be. I'll have to get pictures from someone else.

Last but not least I got to go to Oregon for the weekend to watch the Cheerleading State Championship. And finally my team took 1st. Technically they aren't my team anymore I am just the choreographer. But I love these kids and I am so proud of them. This is a picture of me, Jenna and Julie with the girls that were on the team back when we coached. Most of them are seniors and this is their last year. I am so happy for them that they get to go out with a bang!!! Congratulations Thurston Cheerleaders!
