Jan's Married!!

August 16, 2012 was the day Jan and Bri tied the knot! It was a beautiful day and the ceremony was perfect. They were sealed in the Salt Lake temple and then after had their luncheon at the Joseph Smith memorial building. Their reception was later that day at the Chantilly Mansion.
It was such a fun day and we are so happy for the new couple and I am so happy that I have a new sister in law!! Finally! ;)
Congrats Jan and Bri! Love you both!

Bear Lake

I love Bear Lake! I'm so glad we made it there this summer! It's been awhile since I've been and it felt so good to go and enjoy a nice day there. My mom came with us and we had a blast! It was Presley's first experience with sand and she loved playing with it in the water. She would grab handfuls and throw it up in the air haha. She was covered in sand! :) She is a little fish so she loved the water. We had a great time!

Presley's Party! 1 year old!

On July 7th Presley girl turned one!! I can hardly believe I have a one year old! She is hilarious and full of personality! The perfect words to describe her are sugar and spice. She is so happy and sweet but knows what she wants! So watch out! ;)
She LOVES kids and is quite the social butterfly! She loves her cousins and always has a good time with them.

At her party we had a sweet shop for the kids, water balloons, and a giant parachute for games. She even decided she wanted to swim in the fountain! Hey, it was her party, so into the fountain she went!

It was so fun to have family and friends come to celebrate and we loved having you there! :) Thanks for coming to celebrate!
