Joel & Kambrie get married

My baby brother Joel & his very beautiful bride Kambrie got married last Fri (4.29.11) and it was beautiful. There was a WONDERFUL spirit there from the moment the officiator started to speak. I feel so blessed to be a member of this church and to witness precious moments like this. I am SO grateful to have such great family and to be a part temple weddings. It was also great to see family that we don't get to see very often. The only drawback was the weather! I thought for sure it would be beautiful in Utah and almost didn't even pack coats (I grabbed them last minute as we left the house on Th). I was glad I did. Well anyway, lousy weather made for grumpy kids and so Stetson would have NO part in the picture taking and Kandace wasn't thrilled about it either. My camera died when Joel & Kambrie came out of the temple so this one with my gma Foulger is the best one I could get of them coming out but I love it. Who better to get a picture with than my crazy grandma who I LOVE??!! :)

Our less than impressive family picture HA HA

luncheon and reception

After the wedding we went to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building there until it was time for the luncheon. This is the first decent picture I was able to get of Stetson. He was NOT having any of it at the temple right after Joel & Kambrie came out. Finally it was time to go to the Lion House (Brgham Young's house) for a delicous lunch. I was seriously dreading having a nice sit down dinner with my very wiggly munchkins in tow, but I was pleaslantly surprised at how awesome they did. Michael sat by Kandace and I sat by Stetson. Michael always is a HUGE help and I'm grateful he's such a hands on dad. Gma Foulger sat next to us and we had a good little visit (mostly the same questions asked over again because she's getting a big forgetful) :)

I was pleasantly surprised when my 2 cousins showed up. Laura was in town for women's conference and Rachel lives there. Rachel is holding Laura's baby, Brynn.

4.30.11 Discovery Gateway Children's museum

We were lucky enough to stay with Jan's sister Diane, who lives in Sandy, UT. Diane is going to be a great gma some day! My kids must have sensed the family resemblance or something, becuase they loved Diane! I think nyone who is a friend of gma Asays is a friend of theirs. :) Whenever we would get in the car to go somewhere during the weekend, they were always asking when we could "go backy to Diane's."

Beautiful spring weather we woke up to on our last day

The last day of our trip we took the kids to the Discovery Gateway Children's museum. I'd wanted to take them somewhere fun while we were in Utah and this seemed perfect, and it was! It makes me so happy to see my kids having fun and doing something thats hopfully a little stimulating for their little brains. After this we had lunch and headed home. We were grateful for good roads and a safe arrival home.
