Brittany's Wedding

My sister, Brittany, got married almost a month ago now to Ryan! My family woke up super early and I got the girls' hair in curlers and we ran out of the house hopefully getting all of the stuff we needed for the long day ahead of us. The roads were really bad and it took us over an hour to get to my family's house to help Brittany get ready. About 3/4 of the way there I realized that I forgot the picture quilt! I was so upset about it, I only had a couple of things to bring and I felt like it was the most important one! It was supposed to be displayed at their reception.
We got to their house and I did Britt's hair and makeup and sent her off to the Temple! I got myself ready and finished getting the girls ready and we went over to Logan. It was a horrible ride too, the roads were super bad and on the way there I realized that I didn't have my recommend! I was way upset again-how could I forget everything? Luckily I got in touch with my bishop and had him call the temple to vouch for me. It was really snowing all day but we did get some pictures at the Temple and then went to the Bluebird for the luncheon, which was really good. After that we went to the Old Rock Church in Providence for the reception. It was a beautiful day even though everything kept going wrong for me. I loved being there to witness probably their most important day of their life.
They were engaged for 6 months and got married in Logan, here they are at the Temple.

It was really snowy all day and this is one of my favorite ones of them outside:


This is our whole family! Ryan is definitely the tallest one in the family now. There are 3 grand kids-all girls.

Here is the new brother-in-law with his favorite little girls. I love this one of Taycie, she is so adorable, and I love that all 3 are looking.
Here are all of us kids together, 6 of us, 1 boy, 5 girls!

Just the girls! We have a little inside joke that Alyssa said when she was really little when we were all in the car together, "Hey! We're all girls!"
Here is Brittany with the little girls. I love how cute Allie and Marlee looked all day, their hair was beautiful and they had cute sparkly headbands that matched their shoes.
This has to be my favorite. All of us sisters with Brittany in the middle on her special day!
I wish the all the best in the world for Brittany and Ryan. I hope they stay so happy and have a wonderful life and family. It was a great day and let me refresh my feelings about my marriage and how important my family is to me.

My 1 year old's vocabulary

Okay, so she IS going to be 2 in 21 days, but technically she is still 1.

Marlee said this to Brad tonight:

"I can do it my beary self, I be careful,

and won't spill it on the table."

17 word sentence, pretty impressive. I don't know ANY 1 year old

that can beat that. Maybe Marlee can beat herself at that tomorrow.

I get to witness her every day, I love it.
