McKay and Kelsey's Wedding

It was so fun to take a trip to Utah with the kids to see family. Ok maybe the trip itself with my crazies isn't the most fun, but actually I shouldn't complain they do so well traveling that long of a distance. We always seem to make great time because we only stop twice. This may seem harsh with such young children, but if we stopped more it would take forever. Everytime we do stop ends up being a half hour minimum.

It was great to go though to celebrate McKay and Kelsey getting married. They are so great together it makes me so happy when I see people find eachother that are meant to be together like them. Especially because I know how amazing a great marriage can be and I want that for everyone!

The wedding was so beautiful and it was fun to get to take the kids to temple square. It was a bit cold for us California wimps, but it could have been much worse I'm sure! We got a lot of fun pictures at the temple because we were standing around waiting for a while, but of course I didn't get very many more pictures on the trip.

Me and my love. I sure love this guy so much!
I love this one of my two guys!
Janie wanted one with her daddy too!!

 

I love these pictures of the girls with their Price buddies who are their age, so cute!

The happy couple with all the grandkids that came. Annie wasn't there because we figured it would be a nightmare if she didn't get a nap.
A picture of the sisters, which was fun to get. Crazy that I am the tallest!
Love these kids so much!!!

Annie was kind of a stinker and really out of control at the reception. I was kind of wishing that I had just left her with Kevin's sister Kelli the whole time because she was so wild and wouldn't stay with us at our table. She kept going up onto the little stage and messing around by the piano. It was a long evening of wrestling little ones, because Russ wasn't much better.

We still had a great time being with family and spending time together. I love being part of a big family even with all the drama and I am glad that my kids will have the same experience as me. Big families are the best!

Halloween

This year I really wasn't interested in spending the money to buy new costumes for all the kids, it gets so expensive!! So I knew we had all these costumes that would fit the kids and I thought it was perfect that all the girls were insects! Russy wanted to be Spider-Man, and my sister Chanelle was nice enough to send him an old costume of her boys for Russ to wear. The day of Halloween ended up being really rainy so we decided the buzz light year costume would be better and Russ was really excited about that. Luckily though it stopped raining for the time that we went trick or treating. It really couldn't have been more perfect

Annie was our little ladybug. She even kept the antennae on the whole time!
Janie was a butterfly

Russy was such a cute Buzz!

Lizzy was also a butterfly, we were given an old dance costume that just fit Lizzy perfectly. It couldn't have turned out better!
Nellie was a bumblebee.

The kids and Kevy made some pretty cute pumpkins! It was a great Halloween! It couldn't have been any better!
