One Happy Family!

In November, we had the opportunity to go to St. George for my sisters wedding.  We did our family pictures as well at the red rocks.  It was beautiful.

This big guy will be turning 8 in a few weeks.  Baptism right around the corner for him! He just lost his first tooth a couple days ago! He pulled it out himself!!!

This sweet princess just turned 6 in January.  We had a fun time having everyone over for dinner and cake and ice cream.  She's my HUGE helper and doing great in school!

This little man is crazy being a spiderman and cowboy all at once! He keeps us on our toes, for sure!

This sweet little guy can just melt your heart with his sweet smile. He's big into football right now, throwing whatever ball he can find. He's starting to talk and interact with the kids so much. He'll be 2 in April.

 

And for our newest addition: COMING SOON! Coming at a VERY busy time for us actually, but we are SUPER excited! 

 

 

As for Dad and Mom.  We are doing great!



November...

 ...has been very busy for us!


Beautiful fall day to go and explore the tractor.

A day to rake leaves and slide right down into them!

I think even the little guy liked flying from the slide to the pile of leaves!

And always finding time to ride bikes!

Heading south to St. George for Aunt Jen's wedding, we stopped to grab some lunch...
this little man got a "phone call" from "Joker"!!! What an imagination!

Crazy kids gotta get a picture in the large rocking chair in Beaver, Utah!

Even Mom and Dad!

A morning at the temple with my older sister and Taylor.  Of course, we caught breakfast at IHOP afterwards!

Lunch with cousins!

Dinner with almost everyone!

A day at the "Spin Park" in St. George.

I really thought she was going either fly off this thing or throw up...but she didn't do either!  She hung on ever so tightly!

The bigger kids came up with a game.  They would all stand on the ring and start to walk.  As their weight started to spin the wheel, one would yell, STOP.  They were supposed to stop where they were and not let the movement of the wheel knock them off.  It was a pure balance game and they played for quite some time!

It started to rain on us, but we were able to catch this view of the beautiful rainbow!

A happy wake up from their uncle.

Which one is going to get tackled?!!

The Wedding Cake
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU BOBI...for your help, guidance, confidence, and PATIENCE with me as we worked on this together.  It turned out just how she wanted it!  The bride and groom just absolutely loved it!

The reception in Rigby, Idaho. Somewhat decorated, but I forgot to retake one with all the lights off, so you could see the lights in the lanterns and on the tables.  Oops.  Hopefully someone else got a good picture and I can get a copy to post later on.  The reception in St. George was similarly decorated...we really tried to copy how big sister decorated down there.  It was beautiful.  Both receptions were very nice, and the bride and groom are darling.
(I however, do not have any pictures of them YET to post.  But, as soon as I get one, I'll let you see them!)

The bride didn't want a real cake at the reception in Rigby...so guess what I did?  Yep, I threw it all away!!!  All that time, and time, and more time...I just chucked it after the reception in St. George was over and I breathed a sigh of relief that I didn't have to worry whether it was going to make it all together to another reception!
So, instead, I did what any sister would do.  I made the cake of her dreams.  Ever since she was a teen, the bride has talked about having a dr. pepper cake!  Well, since she loves DP and he loves Pepsi, we combined the two!  Pretty clever, eh?!!

(Thanks Lori for encouraging me to post again!  How odd for me to do two posts so closely together!  I'll try to be better!)

I love dancing!

Taylor and I went on a date to BYU-Idaho's dance-night thing.  (I'm not really sure the true name of it.)  But anyway, my little sister did a clogging number with her friends.  Here's their 80's - nope 90's routine! (My sister is in the red top!)
