What A Beautiful Bride!

My darling cousin Kathryn got married today!

She made the most beautiful bride!  My grandma's viewing was tonight so we stopped by the reception after.  It was really hard at first to get into the fun, carefree atmosphere of her wedding but my awesome brother Brian grabbed me and did a little bit of country swinging with me on the dance floor and totally took my mind off of anything sad.  The kids had a ball dancing and playing with cousins.
Her reception was at Noah's in Sandy. I have never been there but thought it was spectacular!  They had the reception out on the covered patio and everything was so Kathryn!
I do have to say that in my own personal opinion that June is the PERFECT month to get married!  I am a happy June bride.  Not too hot, not too cold.  Grass is green, trees and flowers are blooming.  Such a lovely time to say I Do!

No one better than Uncle Jim!

Ali's Violin Recital

Cute Ali had a violin recital tonight. She did an amazing job. She kept in time with all the other kids and they sounded beautiful! I really loved how they had everyone play the same song together. It was so beautiful to hear all of the violins at once! Way to go Ali!!!



On a side note. As I was entering the Gym at the Riverton City Hall I got a call from Aunt Vicki. She told me that my Grandma Kalawaia passed away at about 6:30 pm. That was really hard news to hear. She hadn't been eating or drinking since last Friday when she fell out of bed. So we knew that it wouldnt be long but that didn't make it any easier to hear. I was so glad to be there with my sister Steph and I called and talked to Andy about it for few minutes which helped too. My mom and dad are driving up to Washington to pick up a horse for Hayley. Vicki said she hadn't been able to get a hold of my mom to let her know what had happenend yet. During the intermission for the recital, Steph told me that she was able to talk to my mom and let her know what happenened. Grandma! I will miss you every day until I see you again. You were the most amazing Grandma, Caretaker, Friend, Travel Buddy, Companion, Mom, Wife and I love you with all my heart! Until we meet again!

Emily

My little cute Emily got a new scarf that she just loves. She wears it all the time and wraps it around her neck or just hangs it loose and long. She is such a little cutie and stil LOVES to pose for pictures. She has her favorite poses and will very willingly show you how to do them. She cracks me up and I love her personality and how she has her very own way of doing things.
These pictures also show off her very very short bangs!!! She decided to cut her own bangs!And this is with a few weeks of growth ~ She is almost 9 years old and has never done anything like that. She came out into the living room and I was talking to her then noticed that her bangs were GONE! I said "Emily did you cut your bangs?!?!?!?!" Emily said in the sweetest most innocent voice "Yes, they were in my eyes mom". Needless to say we had a talk about cutting your own hair. I was surprise how upset Kenny was, cutting your own hair is on his notty list I guess.

Happy Anniversary Babe!

June 6, 2010..... it has been 13 years since we said "I do"! What an adventure we have been on. I have to say I love you more today than ever! I admire you more today than ever! I can't wait to see what the future holds for our little family! I love you babe!

My mom watched the kids for us so we were able to enjoy a night out. We had the most delicious meal at Carvers Steak House. I unknowingly asked the resturant manager to take a picture of us at our table and told her that it was our AnNiVeRsArY!!!! She had our server bring us out a FrEe DeSsErT ... yahoo! Then we watched the Prince of Persia, which I totally loved! It was a perfect evening with my sweetie!

Baby Lily Just One Day Old

I stopped by the hospital to see Andy and the new baby and Lily was so much more alert. Andy is doing great! What an amazing girl she is!!! And I just love that baby Lily to pieces. I hope Andy has 5 more kids! Her kids are the sweetest more darling kids ever!!!  But I have to say I love all of my neices and nephews!  I am so happy my kids have them for their buddies!  I don't know what my Ty would do without Zach!  He is his best pal.



Aunt Christy so proud to hold her neice! I can't wait to hold little Cederstrom babies either!! Wedding is in 85 days!!! So exciting!!!

Fishing with Daddy and Grandpa Coleman

I am so excited to report that my cute husband woke up at the crack of dawn ON A SATURDAY to take our kids fishing with his dad! I had too many things that I needed to get done so Kenny took them. Wahoooo! They had such a great time. Both of them caught a fish and the weather was just perfect. We are lucky to have such a fun grandpa who loves to do all kinds of outdoor activities with his kids and grandkids!

My baby is growing up!

Hayley and Jaxsen slept over and came with us to watch Ty's final Kindergarten Program. The whole class painted their shirts for the program. His teacher this year was Miss Cook, and we absolutely loved her! Ty did a fantastic job with all of his songs and even the dance portion! It was so fun seeing him with his friends and trying his hardest to do a good job!
Way to go Ty! We are SO proud of you!!!
