It's really happening!!!

As much as I would like to pretend that it's not happening, it is - my sister really is moving to Iowa! This is a picture of the "Clampets" passing through yesterday. My sister and Cody were lucky enough to have Cody's parents brave the trip with them and they all crashed with us last night. I was so excited to see all of them and had to keep reminding myself that they were just sleeping here and not really coming for a visit but I'll take what I can get! I could just kiss the little faces off of my nephews but my dogs stole all of their attention, little jerks! I really wanted to stay up and talk with my sister all night but of course everyone was exhausted from traveling and with 2 full days to go everyone really needed sleep so I just sat in bed all night listening for any opportunities to steal some "girl talk". Needless to say, it didn't happen and now I'm just exhausted from staying awake all night by myself! I love you guys so much and I'm so excited for your new little adventure and can't wait for my first trip out to visit in August!

Happiest Place on Earth!

Last weekend we went to our favorite place, Lake Powell. This is about the only place that is "important enough" for T.J. to actually take work off for. I on the other hand take every chance I can get to vacation, hence T.J.'s favorite saying, "I'm the only one who moved to Colorado, you just come to visit" - oops. We try to get there as many times during the summer as we can. We eat, sleep, watch movies, wake board, eat, eat, sleep - what more could you want?!? My in laws just remodeled the interior of their houseboat and it looks amazing!!! Thanks for another great trip guys!!!

Newport Beach

Last weekend I went to Newport Beach with my dad's family, sister and my favorite boys, my nephews, Hunter and Cael. It was so fun to see them have so much fun at the beach. They played, or as Hunter called it "worked", so hard all day long. That is the last time I get to see them before their big move to Iowa (I get to see them again on their way through but that doesn't really count) and it couldn't have been anymore perfect. Then I stopped in Salt Lake to see my best friend Ashley and her beautiful little girl Zaida on my way home. I'm in the process of setting up an arranged marriage between Zaida and one of my nephews! She is the sweetest little girl I have ever seen and of course my nephews are the most handsome boys in the world so it would only be right to set 'em up, right?

Weekend Wedding!

Jenn and Josh got married on Saturday and it was absolutely perfect! The festivities started on Thursday night with a bridal shower and both the bachelor and bachelorette parties. Friday was filled with mani/pedi's, the dress rehearsal and the wedding dinner. Saturday was the big day and it could not have been any more beautiful. Jenn was glowing the entire day and Josh could not take his eyes off of her. Congratulation guys, I love you!

I'm usually a lot better at the close up pics, sorry Keela and Mel! You'd think that I had been drinking here but I can take a water shot with the best of them!

The Happy Couple!!!

Doesn't she look gorgeous?!?

Gettin' ready for the real deal!

Me and my hubby. He bailed right as the dancing started, funny! After only three songs, I looked over and he was gone. I'm sure he knew that I would embarrass him one way or another. Smart guy!
Cutting the cake - to what song you might ask... Pour some sugar on me! I told you we were freakishly alike! The Garter! Josh stripped off his jacket and swung it over his head then rolled up his sleeves - so cute! What a perfect couple!!!
