August was crazy busy for our family. My Mom, sister Alisha, the girls, my brother Jonathan, and I drove out to Utah for my two brothers' weddings and to watch the Farr girls while my sister Elizabeth and her husband took a much deserved vacation for their 10th wedding anniversary. I will say that I was so sad not to spend time with them this trip, but we will make up for that when they come for Christmas.
The above picture was taken at the Ogden temple when we went to the open house. It was so cool to be able to take the girls through the temple. The best part was that most people talked to me assuming that all 6 girls (aged 8,7,6,5,3,and 2) were mine, and didn't even bat an eye that I had one on the way. It was quite amusing, go Utah!
After a few days in Utah, the Indiana caravan hit the road again, this time with the Farr girls, Jonathan's fiance Mandy, our friend Danny, my sister Emily, and her baby Henry. The 10 hour drive to Sacramento went swiftly and it was fun to see a different part of the United States.
Andrew and his sweetheart Lauren were married on August 2 in the Sacramento CA temple. The girls, and Henry were wonderful and seemed to really enjoy the festivities.
After the brief weekend, we headed back to Utah to get ready for wedding number TWO!!!! We had a celebration picnic the night before the wedding where we celebrated Grandma Eva's 80th birthday. This is Grandma with all her Great Grandchildren, how cool is that?
Jonathan and Mandy were married August 9th in the Salt Lake City temple on a beautiful day. I do not have a picture with Mandy and the girls yet (sorry Mandy!)
Out little family!
Here's the bride!
Guess who caught the bouquet?
It was another wonderful trip with my family. I was glad that Drew was able to join us for the weddings and that the girls were able to spend so much time with their cousins. The weddings were joyous and so sweet and we are excited to have two new family members on the Kuhlenhoetler side!
Immediately after our return to Indiana, the girls started school. I can't believe how quickly they recovered from our cross country trek and settled into school. I have some amazing children.
And last, but certainly not least, Lily turned 7! This bright-eyed 2nd child of mine is a joy to have around and I am so grateful for her!!!
