Marry me...

I love Train's song "Marry Me".  So glad Jack and Rach used it on their wedding video:)  This was such a beautiful day for these two.  So happy it was.  They deserve it...

President Uchtdorf married them and did a great job.  Racheal's Mom knows him and asked if he would do it for them.  A fun memory as part of their day!  One part of the sealing I loved was that he said to create your own legacy as a couple.  Appreciate the generations who have paved the way for you, but focus on what you will do together to create a beautiful legacy for your posterity.  Good advice for everyone there!

Classic Jack expression as they came out of the temple.  Rach looked stunning!

 Hugs for sis.  It was sad not to have her with us to make the room complete.  We know someday in the near future it will happen for her too!  

 Loves for Uncle Jack!

And Aunt Rach!

 

 Oh how I love this girl...she is one amazing sister.  We are excited to add another girl in the mix too!

 The beautiful couple!

 Racheal's parents Cecil and Yvonne.  Great people...

 My photo like this outside of the temple was much smaller :)  Adding three kids and another spouse fills it in nicely!

 

 I love going to the Salt Lake temple.  It's where McKay and I were married...and now we have a new generation to send there someday!

 The view from the luncheon room at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.  Such a great event!

 Their reception was BEAUTIFUL!  They had it at Thanksgiving Point and it was perfect.

I love going to weddings with McKay.  Such a great reminder of the love I have for him!  I'm glad he agreed to marry me "today and everyday"

Mr. Chayce wasn't feeling well so he got sent home with baby Kate and Dad while Mom and Peyt stayed to party

 

 Jack and his buddies recreated a moment from 9th grade by singing Westlife's "Swear it Again".  They did a pretty great job!  Jack has some mad singing skills!

 Party Rockin Peyt.  He grooved on the dance floor the whole 45 minutes!  

 Love my family so much...so amazing to spend beautiful days like this together.  I wish Jack and Racheal all the happiness in the world and look forward to having them as a couple in our family.  We love you so much!

29 years later

Chels came across this photo of my Dad and I when I was a baby and had taken the photo on the right a week or so ago.  Brought tears to my eyes!  This man has meant so much to me my whole life.  We have a great relationship and I look up to him in so many ways.  He now shows so much love, concern and joy towards baby Katelyn.  Couldn't ask for a better Dad and Grandpa. 

CamWow

Peyton is obsessed with the CamWow app on my phone.  I usually get it back from him with 200 new photos that all look similar to this...

He laughs so hard at himself...and it's so fun for me to watch because he has the best laugh!  Love my crazy boy!

Uncle Jack

This was a big week for Uncle Jack...we celebrated his birthday and he got married!  The past few months he's been so great to come visit and play with the kids.  He and Rach are off to England for a few weeks while she finishes her Masters and then they will move to New York or Boston for Jack to get his!  We will miss him SO much but are happy for them to start their new life together and get school done!  Plus its the perfect excuse to take a trip East!

 Birthday dinner at Glorias

 Now there are four girls in the family!  Love these girls so much

 The lovebirds...so happy for you!

Splash pad

We had a fun afternoon at the Alpine splash pad with Steph, Amber and the kids!  So fun to get together and catch up!  It was also fun to put Kate in her swimming attire for the first time!  I love her little swimming suits and will have to get a few pictures of them soon!

 Chayce can spot swings from a mile away and always wants to go for a ride. 

 Savvy is quite the little babysitter and held Katelyn for a good 20 minutes!  What a sweetheart!

 Christian and Peyt playing in the water...cute little friends!

For this and many other reasons I LOVE SUMMER!

Evening Out

McKay and I were able to get away for a night up in Park City.  We had a great time together!  We enjoyed a yummy dinner at Bandits (thanks for the recommendation Kimball and Melis!) and stayed at Newpark hotel.  The next day we spent a few hours at the outlets which is always fun!  Thanks so much to Chels for taking the kids so we could enjoy some time together!  Love spending time with my man!

The best...

Our kids are so lucky to have McKay for a Dad.  He has taken on the role of Father of three like a champ!  He is willing to take them for me to get out every once in awhile and does a great job with them!  The boys love playing with him and look up to him in every sense.  Katelyn has a special smile saved just for her daddy.  You come to appreciate and respect your spouse even more when you see them take on the role of a parent.  Happy Father's Day McKay!  We love you...

Grammy Day

When Pam is off for the summer we set aside a day each week for Grammy Day.  It always involves her fun blow up water slide and the four wheelers.  This is my boys' heaven! 

 They are Lucy's chauffeur and its so funny to watch!

 

Even Jersey Girl was getting in on the action.  SO SAD that we only have weeks left with these girlies.  We will miss them but excited for them to start their new adventure in Texas!

T-Ball!

Our life in sports has officially started!  Peyt is playing T-Ball in PG this year with Sam.  He's learning the basics which is great!  We've had fun going to the games to cheer him on!  I hope he learns to love the sport!  My Dad has been so sweet and bought him a mitt, bat, balls and a T.  He's hoping his grandsons share his same passion for it!  If I'm remembering right he's playing for the "green dragons" this year.  Love you little slugger! 

Grammy's Surprise

Melissa's condo is right on Pam's bus route this year.  To surprise her, Melis organized all the grand kids to come wave to her bus on her last day of the year.  Pam was so cute and emotional when she saw all of us standing there!  It was a fun moment!

 Tyler and Wendi made cute signs and Melis had bought Pam my favorite treat...Cake Bites! 

We love our Grammy and appreciate all she does for us!  Most of what she makes on the bus she spends on her grand kids!
