Trip to utah: Temple Square

Last week, Mom, the girls, Alisha, Andrew, Dad, and I made the LONG drive out to Utah to take Andrew and Alisha to BYU. We had a great time, and I know the kids will have a great time in college.

We took a day to go up to Salt Lake to see the temple. The weather was perfect!
The water was of course a favorite!

Pretty flowers and a pretty girl!

Thank you Lily, that is exactly how I want to remember you, with a finger up your nose!

Before we left we HAD to go to the mall. We made quite the group of shoppers!

Lily is 3!!!!!!

On Sunday Lily turned 3! We had a party on Saturday and Lily enjoyed several days of opening presents.
Cute as can be!

She blew out the candles one at a time, all in a row!

Yes, Tinker Bell really does fly, and try to hit people in the head. Lily wasn't sure she liked it at first, but warmed up to it later on.

Sharing the birthday goodies!

Thanks to everyone for the presents, and I know I especially enjoyed the candy she recieved! Lily is so bright and funny and huge joy in our lives. I am so glad Heavenly Father blessed our family with this amazing little one!

5th Wedding Anniversary!!!!

This morning in celebration I found our wedding album and decided to scan some pictures for our blog. Most people haven't ever seen these pictures...so get ready for a blast from the past!!!

On August 13th 2005, Drew and I were married in the beautiful Washington D.C. temple. I remember how hot it was then, but I am so glad my wedding isn't today, with temperatures in the upper 90s and 100s!!!!!!

Here is the whole gang, starting from the left: Grandma Alzina, Grandpa Clair, Grandma Eva, Elizabeth, Jonny, Dad, Drew, Me,Melissa,Alisha,Andrew, Emily, and Mom. (P.S.This is the last wedding we had where no children attended!)

The sisters!

Look how young they look!!!!

Week 23

More than halfway done! As you can see, the belly is growing,growing,growing! I am finally at a point people don't wonder, which is awesome!!!

Lily and Kate in the Courier & Press

Yesterday was national night out, so Lily, Kate, my Grandma Eva, and I went out to Garvin Park for free food and games with prizes. It was pretty hot, but the girls had a great time. While we were there a lady from the paper took some picture, and this morning I looked and there they were! Of course Lily looks a mess and Kate is glaring, but I consider this a testimony that my girls were the cutest kids at the event!!!
