Jenn's Wedding!

First off, I must Congratulate my dear husband for passing the Utah Bar! Wahoo! All that time away from you was not all for not! We are so proud of all your hard work! Now we have another window of opportunity available to us should our course ever move in that direction. Way to go babe! We love you! :)

Next, what a wonderful week we had in Utah! It was just the relief we were needing. We had a great time with the grandmas, uncles, aunts, cousins, friends -you all know who you are - and especially with Jenn. What a treat to be there with her at such an exciting time. It was an absolute privilege to attend the temple with her, enjoy a girls day and late night chatting, and be part of her wedding day. It was a perfect day (and week) for us. My girls got to be flower girls at Jenn's ring ceremony and did a wonderful job. They felt like princesses and loved getting all dressed up for the party. They practiced walking "down the aisle" all week. Lexi was SO excited about dropping the flowers for Jenn to walk over and Aubrey was so funny...she ran out halfway down the aisle and spent the rest of the ceremony picking the petals back up to refill her basket. :) I'm so glad Adam encouraged me to make their dresses. It turned out to be a positive experience. Lexi danced the night away with her little buddy Jude and we all enjoyed a slice of the cake amongst other wedding goodies. Thanks for a wonderful time Jenn and Ryan and for making it possible for our whole family to be part of your special day. You mean so much to us all! Congrats again to you both!










Me and the baby!



It is always so much fun to get together with friends while we are in town. We love the Horsleys! (Congrats again on the new house!)
