Well here goes....my first attempt at blogging and keeping everyone updated on our fam! I can't promise anything great here, just news and pictures. I'll be doing great to just keep up with that much I think. We just got back from my sister-in-law Liz's wedding to Adam and brother-in-law Chris's mission farewell. They were both fun events for the family. We did a big girl party the night before the wedding and all got pedicures. It was a blast and a first for many of our group. We were all looking fab for the next day's festivities. The wedding was in Manti and I'd never been inside that temple before so that too was a first. The wedding and setting were beautiful though the HIKE through the grounds to the entrance left something to be desired. We are happy to welcome a great new brother-in-law. The wedding reception was held in the Gardner house and yard, also a first for them and dare we say hopefully a last. A lot of work went into it from everyone, but as always Susan managed to pull it off and even made dresses and bow ties for all the grandkids and one for herself. Amazing. Chris's farewell was the next morning. He is headed to Argentina for 2 years after a brief time in the MTC. He enters at 11:30 this morning! Anyway it was great to spend time with the whole extended family for 2 days. It was also Father's Day Sunday and Matthew's BDay. Wow can we pack anymore in. Matthew turned 7 and we are planning to have a small party for him at the skating rink on Thursday. They grow up so fast! Anyway, my pics are all going to the top and I don't have time to try and figure out how to mix them with the text. We're off to the lunch park and then the movies. Maybe next post.....
