Lately

We have been busy!! Ben's sister, Brittany, got married to Alit Makic yesterday! We are so excited for them. They are SO in love and perfect for each other. We could not be happier about this match. They were married in the Timpanogos temple at 10 a.m. My cousin, Jeff Andersen, was also married that morning and so I ran into my dear cousins and Aunt and Uncle. This family is a favorite family and it was SUCH a treat to see them. Especially since my cousin Lindsay lives in Alaska. Uh I miss them. The luncheon went really well and the reception could not have been more beautiful! Brittany's dress is gorgeous, I can't wait to get the pictures back. Troy and Liam were so cute in their little tuxes and I always like seeing Ben in a tux ;) The reception was at Bella Vista. Beautifully decorated, lots of sheer material, lights, pictures, crepe buffet, fruit shaped like a swan, an ice sculpture of a castle, a candy bar, ribbon tied to the chairs with the letter M in the middle. They did SO much work for this wedding and it took a couple of hours to take down, but it was beautiful! It was fun to see family come for the occasion and spend time with them. Troy and Liam loved playing with them too. There were tons of pictures taken, but none by me, so I'll have to wait for them and then I will post :) To not have a total pictureless post again... here is when we babysat Halli Ann.

Troy LOVES Halli. I think he's ready for a sister :)

Here are the invitations that I sent out for Brittany's shower that Mom and I did last Friday night. We went all out and it was a great success. Brittany went through the temple Saturday morning. What a GREAT experience. It was actually the same day that I went through 6 years ago. Same Wedding day too! It was fun to think about that. Then we helped Brittany move and Brayden helped me take care of the boys. That Brayden is such a life-saver and an AWESOME brother in law. I'm so lucky with this family.
