the beautiful couple!!


Well my sister was married today. She looked so beautiful!! It got pretty teary eyed, everyone was hugging and telling each other that they love each other. Lots of pictures, etc. My family is so sappy! It is a lot harder to let her move on and be an official "grown up" now. Justin is a very nice guy, we like him a lot. They look so happy!

On Your Mark, Get Set, GO!

So you've probably read that the crazy summer has begun. We are back in Provo--watch out I might be coming over and saying hi to people in the neighborhood! We hardly have any free time even though I thought I would once we got into town. My Mom has been making food non-stop for my sister's reception. Wednesday my sister is surprising Mom with a spa treatment and she needs it!
Let's see there is so much that has happened. Let's rewind to May, my kids were still in school and we had a million activities crammed into the last month of school.
S's class put on a wonderful Mother's Day Program (only Moms were allowed to attend) and then we had a picnic on the playground. The real end of the school year event was the dance recital for S and L. There were like 35 dance numbers and they were in four of them. They had it at a local high school and I have to tell anyone who has never seen a Tulsa area school before, their highschool are HUGE and that is an understatement. The auditorium was huge and I felt like I had to walk a mile just to go back stage for costume changes. But the recital was wonderful.





L kept "reapplying" the makeup every two minutes. It was so funny, she rarely left her place at the mirror in the makeup room.






Here is the only picture I have of S at the recital she was off with her friends playing around she wouldn't stay still to pose for a picture, so we took one together.







One of the other end of year events was S's talent show. She signed up to do a hula and she performed it wonderfully, I was so proud!










L's preschool graduation was in May as well. Her teachers were the best! She'll miss her class this summer.



This post is super long and there is actually more but that is all I'll post for now.

What was I thinking???

I have a riddle-- What do you get when you put 2 infants, 4 children, 2 teenagers, an engaged woman, two mothers, a grandma and a dog in a car for 16 hours?

Just another masterful idea of Bucky's that seemed so perfect in her head, yet when executed seemed to be the most ill planned idea on the face of the planet!!!

But we made it! Yes!! When I look at the last two weeks I feel exhausted all over again. Let's see Last friday I was in Tulsa, Oklahoma--Saturday--Maryland, Tuesday--West virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Wednesday--Illinois, Missouri, Friday and Saturday--Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming and finally Utah!! Where my sister is getting married and the real reason for all of the state hopping. Yesterday I swear to you I was in Bucky robot mode. I am just now (it's sunday) getting some feeling back into my brain. We are doing remarkably well for all of that traveling. We are alive, still laughing and enjoying ourselves. All though my baby has been talking to everyone by barking (just like her favorite pal our dog benji), that can't be normal! I'll keep everyone updated later! Love you all hope everyone has a great summer!
