Mary & Christian March 2014

The big event in March was the trip to California to see my little baby sister Mary get married.  She married her childhood sweetheart just a few months after he returned home from his mission.  Their engagement was a pretty sure thing so Mary spent the 2 years he was gone planning every aspect of their wedding perfectly and it that's what it turned out to be...absolutely perfect.  Those two are the cutest couple ever.  Congrats to you two.

Mary & Christian are engaged!

Headed back to Cali for another Wedding!

Hanging out at my Dads house.  Its always a good time. 

A quick visit to Knott's Berry Farm

Wedding Day~March 13, 2014

Since the wedding and reception were on different days, we snuck in some time to visit the beach for a little bit.  It was chilly but that didn't stop them from getting sand in every crevice.

I just love this picture of Paige helping her little brother in the swimming pool.

Reception Day~ March 14, 2014

Hidden Oaks

Rancho Cucamonga, CA

Mary spared no detail at this reception.  She (and Pinterest) did an amazing job planning this out and making it all happen.  It was so beautiful and the weather was perfect that night. 

The highlight of the evening was probably the awesome dance floor.  The kids were little dance party animals that night.  I was quite impressed by the moves on the dance floor that night.

Do you even need to ask?  I just love this mans face.

11 years

Yesterday was Eric's and my 11th anniversary.  Eleven years sure flies by.  We have done A LOT in 11 years and there is a lot more to come.  I haven't posted my wedding pictures on here in a while so here is a little throw-back.

The whole family.

The sisters. Look how cute they were. Can you believe that the little one in the front (Mary) is getting married this week??

My Pops.

What an awesome day.  It was so perfect. The sun was shining and everyone that we loved was there to celebrate with us.  I wouldn't have changed a thing (even though that actual day, I was a bit of a wreck and maybe a tad bridezilla-ish...to be expected.)

Eric is an amazing person.  I am so lucky to have found him when I did.  At one time in my life I let myself believe that there were no good men left in the world for me.  Eric is the most selfless, loving person I have ever known.  I could not ask for anything or anyone different or better for me or for my children.  We have had our fair share of ups as well as downs, both together and individually, and he still manages to tell me that he loves me...and even if he doesn't say it, I never doubt it.

Happy Anniversary Eric. I love you.

February 2014: Jonathan & Victoria

Little Jonny gets HITCHED!!

My little brother-from-another-mother Jonny got married in February!  Road trip with BEN and Braiden!  That alone was worth the trip.  We had a blast.

Day before the wedding.  We had a lovely dinner with all the siblings, parents and grandparents that were in town.

It was a gorgeous, warm day in Los Angeles.

The reception was in Etiwanda at a church building.  I was amazed at the transformation for this reception.  It was so cool.

My dad and Uncle Tim.  These guys are pretty funny. I don't see a resemblance, do you?  

A great shot of all the older siblings that were there.  We were just missing Whitney and Paul!  Its only going to get more and more difficult to get us all in the same room as time goes on.  I am hoping that soon, we can get a picture with all 12 of us.

And of course, a given that we had to take a day to hit Disneyland.  It was particularly fun to go with my brother and Braiden. 

Congratulations you crazy kids.  

We love you.

And Now what you all have been waiting for...

November 1st was a gorgeous day. We were preparing for the worst weather and hoping for the best and it was perfect.

Waiting for the New Couple...

HALLOWEENIES

Since Halloween this year was the day before Whitney's wedding we spent the early part of the day prepping food for the reception the next day.

We took the kids (including Bonnie's kids and my dad's little kids) to the ward Trunk or Treat which was great since this year was amazingly warm for Halloween. It sprinkled a little but it was so nice. The kids had so much fun.

Cameron made his Halloween debut as Squirt, everyones favorite little turtle.

I think Braiden has pretty much been every super hero yet. This may be the second time for Batman- its all a blur.
