My Beautiful Bride!

Yes, blog world, I am alive! I've been feeling a little overwhelmed for the last, oh, about 6 months or so and blogging just hasn't been on the top of my priority list. I really need to do better because it's about the only form of scrapbooking/journaling I'm doing right now.

So the greatest thing has happened in our family - Ashley found the man of her dreams and married him! The big day was March 24th in the Idaho Falls Temple. I've never seen Ashley so happy which makes me sooooo very happy! My awesome sister-in-law was the official photographer and she is the best! She did such a wonderful job of capturing the day for us and I appreciate her so much. Here are just a few of my favorites from the big day.

Jazz Game

Okay, I'm a little behind on the blog and SO much has happened! I'll try to catch up a little at a time.On Friday, November 26th (the day after Thanksgiving) Kent and I went with Ashley and Blake to the Jazz game. They were playing the Lakers. Blake is a huge Lakers fan (I guess the guy had to have ONE flaw!) and his birthday was in November so that's what Kent and I gave him for his birthday. It was fun to see Blake in his Lakers jersey and Ashley in her Jazz jersey! We had a great time together and tried not to rub it in too much when the Jazz beat the Lakers!

What an awesome weekend!

Sara, Stacy, Ashley and Nicole


Ashley and Blake came home for a quick visit over the weekend and we had so much fun together! Ash and I went to the craft fair yesterday then I took both the girls to town to shop for winter boots. Then we went to Stacy's bridal shower and finally the whole family went to Brian's house for the Lott Family Thanksgiving dinner. (Thanks Blake for bringing my Ashley girl home!) Blake and Ashley had to go back to Logan last night so it was a quick visit but we had such a good time together. I love that girl!

Today Brandon had his board of review for his Eagle Scout award and he passed! :) I'm one proud mama!

I stink at blogging!

I'm not very good at this blogging thing! I guess I always feel like I need to have current pictures to post in order to update my blog. And I'm not very good at keeping current with pictures! I love reading other people's blogs (my sister-in-law is the ultimate ninja blogger - I love her to death!) and I have felt a renewed sense of determination to be better at keeping up with my blog. I may not always have current pictures, but as busy as my little family is, I should be able to write SOMETHING every few days! Here's to my early New Year's resolution!

Redfish Lake

We had such an awesome camping trip last month at Redfish Lake! (Thanks Morrow Family for inviting us) It is such a beautiful place and we had such a relaxing time - especially Kent since he didn't have cell service! The weather was perfect and the kids had so much fun playing in the water. Ashley was able to get off work and come with us and she brought her "friend" Blake too. It was fun getting to know him better. Can't wait to go again next year!

Team Kent!

Okay girls, I am fond of the Twilight movies as well as everyone else. But when it comes to choosing between Team Edward and Team Jacob, I choose Team Kent! My hubby is the best guy in the world! He is the busiest man I know but he always finds time to help me with whatever I need help with. This picture says it all! Forget those six pack abs, there is nothing more attractive than a man scrubbing your bathtub!
