Congratulations J & M

Jeremy's youngest brother got married. The Bride and Groom got married 8/18/11 up at Red Butte Garden. It was a beautiful day along with being very warm. The wedding didn't start until 5:00 pm so Jeremy, the kids, Jeremy's brother and I hung around the house until it was time to go which was about 2:30. We took Jeremy's brother to the hotel so that he could get checked in, then headed to Red Butte. After we dropped his brother off we went and picked up Jeremy's other brother from his work. We finally got to Red Butte to park and get ready about 4:15.

The kids had about had it so while the groom and three bothers finished getting ready I took the little ones and let them run and explore.

The Handsome Sour Puss

I ran into Jeremy's sister and so we headed to the gazebo where the bride and groom were to be wed. As we were hanging out, the groomsmen and the groom showed up.

What handsome brothers they are.

Bride & Groom

The ceremony was beautiful. The Gazebo sat at the edge of the hill and the sun finally found some shade behind some clouds which allowed the breeze to finally blow through and cool everyone. The sun was setting as the ceremony went making a beautiful background. After the ceremony the dinner was behing held back at the greenhouse.

On our way back Jack was being funny and I finally got a handsome picture of him.

What a handsome boy.

After the sit down dinner, they had dancing, cake, a dessert bar, the throwing of the bouquet and the toss of the garter.

In the end and through the whole event its sad to say but I can picture Abigail's day and what a precious moment this pciture turned out to be.

Congratulations to J & M!

We love you and enjoy each moment (not that you guys already do!)

Jack,

You are curious George. There isn't a time or place where you are asking "what's this." You love knowing and figuring things out. Right now you are really into trains especially watching Thomas the Train. You are content by yourself and when you are happy that is when your sister comes to bother you. Once she comes around screams start to sound and you are not happy. We have been learning to share. You love playing with other kids. You are such a content little boy. You love showers, watching pixar movies which right now your top movie is UP. You love Daisy and Hally and give them a hard time each and every day. You always tell them to sit, that they are a good girl and to shake which consists of you grabbing their leg and shaking their leg for them. You have started to be a better eater. However bribing is still in the cards when it comes to eating. You have also started this thing with your face, if you feel something is on your face you freak out and say "face" once we pretend or really wipe it off you are good to go. You love to play outside and some days it is a fight to get you to come in. You no longer have your bottle, but we now get to rock you for a few minutes to get you ready for bed.

I have started as we rock to explain that you are adopted and that you are a special little boy. You are a very special little boy. You are loved unconditionally. We love you.

Abigail,

You are a busy body. You always have to be on the move, however when you are getting ready to go to sleep you love to be lightly tickled. You are starting to talk, say words and be apart of the conversation. Lately you have been enjoying bothering your brother. For instance when we are in the car you will move your leg over the arm rest of your car seat moving it into his space. He throws a fit. I think you just enjoy bothering him, but also that comes with loving your brother. You love being outside and playing. You are getting to be such a big girl. You love taking showers except when you first get in and the water is cold. I have to force you back into the shower when the water is warm and then you are just fine. You have a sweet heart that we your dad and I tell you no (nicely) you completely break down.

You have been trying your best to eat with a fork or spoon. You are happy all of the time.

We love you and can't wait to see your accomplishments.

Mouth of Jack

1. Last Thursday I got home from work. Jeremy was home with the kids as well as Madison, Bubba and Tyler. Jack wanted to go outside and the other kids wanted to ride their scooters. I told all of them to get their stuff and I would watch them outside. I got one of our campling chairs and sat down to watch. Here came Jack. He put his hands in the air (for me to pick him up) so I did. He gave me three kisses, got down walked away, turned back around said "Vuv vou" then "Bye Bye."

2. Last night I am getting the kids ready for bed, collecting their pajamas and what not. We have been buying Carnation Breakfast for Jack to add a little more calories t his diet. I had gone into Jack's room to try once again to find a lost sippy cup. When I hear, "Mom...Mom...Mom where you?" Jack was just outside of his room when I came around the corner and said, "Buddy I am right here." Jack turns around with a smile on his face and the Carnation Instant Breakfast container in his hands and he reached his arms up to hand it to me and says, "Chocolate Milk."

There are so many more, but thought those were so funny, cute and precious. I can't picture my life without our little ones.

Stake Carnival

Mom's stake decided to have a carnival day and we were invited. It was such a nice hot day we decided why not. So we met over at Mom's and met up with Landon and Cristy and their kids, which then we decided to head over to Mom's Stake Center and enjoy the fun festivities.

We arrived not really knowing what to expect.

They had two blow up houses.

A rock climing wall.

Also balloon making, pony rides, Ice Cream, Cotton Candy and Burgers and Hot Dogs - real food.

We headed over to the balloon making table where there a a little bit of a wait and the kids started getting fussy, so we decided to get some food. In the mean time Abigail found a popped balloon and thought that was just awesome.

Jack taking it all in, Abigail fixed on her awesome prior popped balloon.

Still not really sure about everything.

Abigail just enjoying herself.

Trying to make Abigail happy, not really working.

Grandma trying to make Jack happy, not really working. So we decided to get some food. They ate like birds and then wanted to play. We first headed to the bouncy houses.

Abigail enjoying every minute.

Grandma, Cristy and Kaymbria watches in the shade as the kids bounce around.

Cristy ran and got us some cotton candy as we waited for the pony rides. Jack and Abigail weren't sure what to do with it, so I think mom and I ate the majority. It was really good.

After the pony rides Landon wanted to climb the rock wall. My kids were starting to ware down as it was way past their naps. So Landon climbed the wall as we were waiting we ran into a old neighborhood friend, come to find out they live in the same stake as mom.

It was a really fun day, thanks mom for inviting us.
