Bitter Sweet

Bitter Sweet...It's always nice coming home from vacation to your own bed and own things...but definitely hard to leave behind those you love. Skyler is getting old enough to where she gets really sad to leave. She told me this time that she wants to live there and started bawling when she woke up from the car ride home from the airport and saw that we were home...she wanted to go back to Grandma. So hard to be away from everyone. We had such a great time for the two and a half weeks we were in Oregon. It was perfect weather the whole time (so nice to get out of the heat) the kids loved being able to go out and play in Grandma's backyard, going to the park, the zoo, boating and everything else you can't do here during the summer. The girls had so much fun playing with their cousins and definitely loved the attention and spoiling they got from Grandma. They actually prefer Grandma over me most of the time we are there....which is kind of a nice break for me:) My brother Chris got married which was so fun to be apart of. We are so excited for Meghan to be part of our family and know they will be very happy together. Well...here is some pictures of our adventure.Madison, Camden, Kade, Gracie, Skyler & Ryland

Chris and Meghan are Married!!!Best men and bridesmaids...and flower girls

My twin brothers casey and cameron were Chris' best man along with his friend Ryan
Gracie and Skyler had so much fun being flower girls!
Because Meghan's family are not members and couldn't be apart of the marriage ceremony in the temple they had a ring ceremony before the reception. The girls did such a great job walking up the aisle... I was afraid Skyler might get scared but she didn't!
The reception turned out so nice. They had it at pumpkin ridge golf course. The night was filled with a delicious dinner, dancing, family and friends and of course running after kids.

Congratulations Chris and Meghan...we love you and we wish you the best!

Fun on the boat!!
Yeah...the water is pretty cold!

Jake wake boarding...he did such a great job!
Yep...believe it or not...that's me.
Here is Gracie and Skyler being pulled by the tube behind the boat. I was so sad because after we put Madison in with them and the camera ran out of batteries! Ohh well...next time.
Thanks Mom, Dad and fam for everything!! We miss all of you guys so much. We love you!
