Just a wee bit of wedding for Lanette

Ok. Ok. I know you want pictures, Lanette. I understand! I really do. (I get impatient for other people to post too). So here's a couple of teasers for you. Here are Em and Francisco coming out of the temple. I'm sure we have better pics but this is what I can come up with now... I still have company and will have to post more later. Sarah will probably post some soon too.


This is our 'crazy pose'

I love how my parents are looking at us like we're crazy!

Emily said... "Everybody kiss!"

So... Sarah and Brett kissed

Livie: "And just who am I supposed to kiss?"

Francisco and Emily managed a a really good kiss (of course).

I laughed.

Tim looks like he's thinking: "What, now? Are you serious?"

But Jeff and his girlfriend have the best expressions of all.

This photo makes me laugh out loud every time I see it.

More later...

Pool Party!


Hannah and Olivia


Today we invited our favorite neighbors over for a pool party. It was pretty hot. We had 4 crazy girls and 2 swimming pools! We had fun and LOVE our neighbors. I would put up more pictures- but I'm not sure how my neighbor feels about a public blog, so we'll save those pics for a photo-album ;)

Emma's Bridal Shower



Emma's bridal shower was last week. I'm glad it's done. It turned out pretty well. I made some cookies, a fruit tart, and some punch. We played 'gift bingo' and Emily had to tell us about Fransisco- I made a little video of him answering him some pretty simple questions. Emma got about half wrong ;) It was fun and we are ready for the wedding now!!

A lot to think about

Well- a lot has happened recently. I couldn't sleep last night because there was just SOO much to think about! I think I will just list the latest events...

1 My Dad is getting baptized! Now- some of you may not know that my Dad is not a member of the LDS church, but he has recently decided to get baptized and become one of us! It really was shocking to me, I wasn't really expecting it... but I couldn't be happier for him- and our family! It is SUCH a blessing. In a year we will be sealed in the temlpe. Words can't describe this. I wish I could express my emotions better, but words aren't enough.

2 Emily's bridal shower is this week. I am in charge being the 'maid of honor'. I shouldn't be worried, which I'm not, it's just one more thing to think about and plan..

3 Brett accepted a new job. It is a longer comute. It is about 35 minutes North. It has pretty good benefits and we are excited about it. If you know me- you will know why I'm not saying WHERE this new job is or any of the towns. Sorry, I am paranoid..

4 We might MOVE... Well, since Brett has this new job we have been looking at homes closer to the job. I LOVE where we live- I love our neighbors, our ward and the area. I don't love Brett having to comute though. We actually found a house that will be forclosed soon. It is REALLY nice, in a perfect location with a beautiful view. It is being listed for $200,000 less then it was appraised for. So- tomorrow our house may go on the market and we could be moving REAL fast if all works out. It is scary. We don't know what to expect. All I know is that I have to get our house SUPER clean and staged for selling by like tomorrow... AAH!

5 Fathers Day next Sunday. I haven't even stared to think about this. It's a bit overwhelming to me.

6 We are flying out to Oregon in just a few weeks for Emma's wedding. With all the comotion of house selling/buying and everything else, this is becoming one BUSY June!

7 On top of every thing else- I think about this new baby, and trying to not be sick. The past few days I haven't been too sick at all- maybe because I'm too busy to think about it ;)

Eating Breakfast




Olivia just looked so cute eating her cereal a few days ago, so I took pictures. She is getting VERY good with her spoons/forks. She is still a mess maker, but she gets 95% of the food to her mouth these days.. which is much better for clean-up ;)
