Andrew and Brittany's Wedding


My Brother in Law, Andrew was married Dec 27 in the Portland, Oregon Temple. We weren't able to go since we were having horrible snow storms here and it wasn't safe enough to drive. I am so sad we missed it. I am excited to have Brittany in the family! She is such a cutie! There reception was Jan 3 and I am just now posting about it. The reception was beautiful, Darlyn, my MIL, is a pro at putting a reception together. This IS her 8th child to be married (only three more to go). The family is getting HUGE! I love it. Me, Cynthia, Stewart, Natalie and Rachelle helped in the kitchen. April made the most delicious cakes! Dang that girl makes good cakes!!
Ken was there to make sure all the food tasted great.. thanks Ken! hahahaha Jon and Michael were watching the kids.
This video is Carma and Alec dancing. They are so cute together.

Wyatts Blessing and other cute photos











My sister Dana took these adorable pictures. Thanks Dana! I love these!!!
Wyatt is the cutest! He is so sweet and easy going. He honestly never cries unless he is hungry.. or really bad gas. (He is so gassy, Poor baby takes after his papa that way too... tee hee. ) But other than that he is just smiley and coos. I love when I am not paying attention to him and I look down to see him staring at me, just patiently waiting for me to look at him. And the smiling while he is nursing is so sweet.
He is a chubbers, he weighed 14 lbs 3 weeks ago (at 9 weeks) I am sure he is bigger now. I LOVE chubby babies.

So many things to post about where to start...











I guess I will start at the family Christmas party. This family is HUGE, as I always mention. Every year we do a Christmas party at the Stake Center. We usually have a talent part but this year it was hilarious. Michaels cousin, Holly, and her hubby, Casey, were in charge and they put together a variety show. Casey... (who is crazy hilarious!!! or should I say crazy and hilarious) dressed in rediculous outfits between acts. I didnt get a picture of all the funny things he did during but here are a few: my favs: he was the Little Mermaid, wearing a red ridiculous red wig a half shirt (hairy belly hanging out and everything) laying on a bean bag singing "Part of your world". It was so funny I thought I would pee my pants, but here is the funniest thing, the little girls were in AWE! They loved it, not b/c it was funny, they loved that princess up there. They didn't care if she had a hairy belly.
He also did Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho and Incredible s. It was so funny. The entertainment was pretty impressive too. This family is so talented. I am always amazed. Several family sang, several young children played piano, some danced and our family did the Nativity.
Judson was a shepherd and Carma was an angel. She wanted to be on the stage SO bad! She wanted to go sing in the microphone and one of the cousins her age sang a song and she ran up there and wanted to do it too. Hence the picture of her peeking from behind the curtain. She is such a ham. In primary she is always in the front by the music leader, jumping around and excited. She loves being a sunbeam and the other teachers love to watch her just being Carma.
