Time Traveler's Wife

After the reception we went with Nels and Colleen and family to Applebees. There was a bachelorette party across the room for a gal I went to elementary school with. Crazy--I HATE bachelorette and bachelor parties! Anyway afterwards Mom and I went to Time Traveler's wife and LOVED it! I recommend it to anyone considering it. It made me cry, but I loved it!

The above scene had me laughing for awhile. Let's just say that little girl does an awesome job of being a woman scorned. After the movie Mom and I got in the photobooth and just started laughing. We were so tired and just rum dumb. We had fun though!

Mr. and Mrs. Barrett Vaughan

Here are some pictures from the wedding. If I get more I will definitely post them. I had a great time and the bride and groom looked beautiful! The day was pretty stressful, and I am glad it is over, but it was lots of fun to get all dressed up and being able to share the memories with them, PLUS I finally got a sister! Welcome to the family Holly! I look forward to many fun times to come! A HUGE THANK YOU to Esther, Tara, Colleen, Geri, Katie, Mom, Grandma, and everybody who sacrificed their sleep and time to help us get ready for the wedding, especially the last couple nights. You guys rock!My highlight from the wedding: As I was going from table to table talking to people I noticed a little girl was following me. I would look and smile at her, but I didn't know what she was doing. I figured maybe she was just looking for her mom or something. However when I would move to a different table she would go with me. I then turned and saw her again, this time when I smiled I decided I would talk to her. I said, "Hi!" She said hi and then she ran off. Her Mom then came over and said, "She asked me if she could go say hi to the princess." How cute is that! Matt from Hi-Line your daughter made my day! What a cutie! I really wish I had taken a picture with that little girl so I could scrapbook her compliment!

Dad sang What a Wonderful World and like always he did a beautiful job

We got our hair done at the Salon Professional Academy. The gal who did my hair was awesome and didn't charge me the full amount since she didn't have to curl my hair! Yay! Thank you to Mom who added sleeves to my dress as well as took it in since it was a size above what we ordered.

Cutting and eating the cake

Garter--Barrett was so cute. It was funny because they had to coax the guys to come down to catch it. Barrett tossed the garter and the guys just watched it fall to the ground. Everybody told Jordan to go pick it up since he will be the next groom. He picked it up and then he did a dance acting like he was surprised and had caught it.

Not sure who put what in the punch but the "gotta feeling" and provided some fun entertainment while out on the dance floor.

I didn't want to decorate the car at the wedding because Barrett and Holly would expect it. They stayed at a suite that night so we went to decorate their car. This blue car was parked close to theirs. As we pulled up Jake and I dibbed it PATHETIC and decided to show them how to really decorate a car.

Mr. T turns one! Happy Birthday Tristen!

This photo just cracks me up above!

Utah

We went down to Utah for a visit. I worked til 11PM that night so Benny drove down with me that night. We had a great time on the way up there. We were laughing and singing our little hearts out haha. When we pulled into Dillon, MT Benny prepaid for a pump at the gas station but when he came out to the car he realized he had given her the wrong pump number. As I was driving to the correct pump I was so far away from the actual pump because I didn't turn sharp enough. Benny did a cute run out with the gas trigger thing acting as if it would reach. We borrowed Em and Nathan's GPS and Benny was so funny with it. It would let us know that we were "off course" Benny pretended to flip it off because it was frustrating him. When I pulled into Pocatello the GPS was telling me, "You are off course. At next opportunity flip a U-turn." Haha. We stayed up singing to the only cd that was in the car. I can guarantee we are both sick of some of the songs like Jordin Sparks Battlefield, Flo-rida Jump, BEP I gotta feeling, BEP Boom Boom pow, etc. We arrived at Aunt's Joan's house around 1030 that morning. We slept til about noon or one and then headed over to Mike and Geri's. We stopped at Sonic to get some lunch. Mike called us to tell us that we would be driving past where they filmed footloose. He said, "So if your foot starts tapping you will know why." Dad complaining about his drink at sonic, "He gave me a coke with two ice cubes!" Mom: That is because you said yes when he asked you if you wanted easy on the ice. Dad responded: No I was answering yes because he asked me if I was EASY ON THE EYES. What a dork! We went up to Bridal falls with Mike's family, which was beautiful. We left them and went to Payson, UT to Chris and Kristi's house. Chris and Kristi fed us pizza and pop. It was the first time I had seen their house. Very cute! I loved Payson, it was so quiet and just relaxing while we were outside. We went inside and little Kaiden had me smell every flavor of the scentsy collection—haha I love that kid! We had a great time and came back with a few cousins. We also ran into Sara and Richard in Duboix. I am so glad to have run into them as well. I just love my family! I wasn't going to go up at first but being we needed another vehicle to bring back some of the family I ended up going and I am sooooo glad! I didn't realize how much I missed our Utah trips that we used to take each summer. I love my family and I loved getting to see all of them. What a blessing!

Aunt Joan has always had the most beautiful roses! Thank you to Uncle Dick and Aunt Joan for letting us stay at their house and for their hospitality ever since I can remember we have always been comfy at their house and they have made it so we always feel at home!

Benny got his bday shoes on this trip. I suprised him by wearing his shoes out of the car. His face was priceless. These are his golden shoes. The picture above is me showing where my toes are. Benny has a size 11 foot!
