Garett and Ashlie's Wedding

The Beautiful Bride with all of the Beautiful Nieces (This is really sad, but I don't have a pic with the groom. Sorry Uncle G.)

Grandpa and his Girls

They were married in Bountiful but had the luncheon at the Joseph Smith Mem. Bldg. I couldn't miss this photo op.

Wiped out!

It is hard for me to believe that Garett is old enough to get married. I think I first met him when he was 7, before Matt and I were even dating. We couldn't be happier for him, though. He met a great girl, and they are an adorable couple. I have to admit that I was hoping that Garett would marry a "Cougar" (not the BYU kind but cougar meaning older woman). That way I wouldn't have to be the oldest sister-in-law. I have age issues. Honestly, I am excited to have Ashlie be part of our family, and are happy for the new life they are starting together.

If you like Pina Coladas...

Brinley and her B-Day Cake (Note: The divit in the front/center was done by Macy. This is the 3rd cake she hasn't been able to keep her fingers off of. She needs to learn the art of being sneaky. One time she put finger tracks over an entire sheet cake and another time she ate the whole face off her 2nd birthday ballerina cake.)

Enjoying a Pina Colada...hold the rum

Our favorite grin...extra cheese!

If you like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain, you would have loved Brin's birthday. I planned a pool party, but it was rained out. We had to wait couple of days post-birthday to whip out the pool, but we still had a great time. When she saw her cake she said, "Ew, funny." She also sang the whole b-day song with the "cha cha chas" at the end. Avery tried to give her a candle to lick, and she put the wick side in her mouth. Never a dull moment.

2 is such a fun/funny age. Even when she is being naughty, we can't help smiling at her. These are some little things that keep us laughing...

*She has to get in my bed the second after I get done making it. She loves to be snuggly.

*She just started saying, "No, I don't want to." I think this was her first real sentence.

*She likes the word AWESOME. She's very hip.

*She loves to eat NeeNaws (bananas) and Crackers. She would eat them all day if I would let her.

*She is adorable when she's about to take a nap and says, "Night, night. Love you!"

*She is a hoarder. She wants to take everything she sees to bed with her. I have to slowly sneak things out so there is room for her to lay down.

*She likes to shower with her big sisters and has just figured out how to take off her clothes and diaper.

*She loves to sing "Happy Family", "Moon Moon Moon", and "ABC's".

*Matt gave her a shoulder rub the other day and she said, "Tickle Me."

*She really sees the sense of humor of things and will call them funny.

*She has to climb up on the dining room table every time she is done eating. I think she does this, so we will put her down on the ground. We need to work on her manners.

*Absolutely hates having her teeth brushed. Even Dr. Matt has a hard time getting her to open up.

The girls with "Sharky" --Brinley followed this guy all over the place and loved him despite that fact that he knocked her over multiple times.

This post is LONG (with a capital L-O-N-and G) overdue. Yes, Paige turned seven over 2 whole months ago, but she still deserves her own post. Her b-day was during Spring Break, so we spent a weekend of fun in sunny Denver. Alright, it wasn't sunny, but it was still nice to get away. We went to the Aquarium, Rodizio's Brazillian BBQ (Paige's (and Matt's) favorite), and Jungle Quest (a super fun play place with rockwalls, rope swings, and ziplines). We also stayed at a hotel with a mongo TV--Paige (wink wink) was very excited to keep up on all of her March Madness games. It was a fun weekend with our fun little 7 year old.
