Erin's Wedding!

Erin was married Thursday morning in the Mesa temple. Everything went very well. Here are some pictures of the two coming out of the temple for the first time as a married couple.
The rest are pictures taken around the temple grounds with my digital camera. We had Wendy's friend, Ashlee take a few pictures while the photographer was working with Adam & Erin.Ashlee and Wendy messing around with the camera.

Wendy's reaction to all the "kissy" pictures.
After picture-taking we all headed over to the park across from the temple and ate lunch. Friday night was the reception, which turned out wonderfully, all thanks to two friends in our ward, Carolyn Pyle and Kari Day and who took care of the food and decorations.
Here's Ashlee and Wendy getting Erin and Kacie ready for the reception.
We didn't get any pictures of the entire room, but the decorations looked so good and the reception turned out great.
the cutting of the cake
They were much nicer than expected, no mess!
Throwing her bouquet...
...And Wendy caught it! She said she didn't mean to, it just came right at her and didn't know what to do. :)
Erin and Adam walking out to their car. We forgot to decorate it... oops! So Diana ran and got some old lip stick and toothpaste to write on their windows.
And off they went!

Christmas Break Festivities


We've changed this post about 3 times now, but decided to add a few things that have gone on throughout Christmas break with our family. First off, Erin, Wendy and I drove to Phoenix to pick out a wedding dress for Erin! We won't post any pictures of the dress, it has to be a suprise! Grandma, aunt Starla and Aunt Danette came for the support. Here's Erin & Wendy (with her Claire's glasses reflecting in the sun) outside the dress store. It was exciting, she found the perfect dress at the second store we went to.
Chris came down this week from Salt Lake. While the girls were shopping in Phoenix, Gene & him got a chance to work on the Mustang together. Here are a few of their pictures:
Old K-Member (front end)
Chris using impact wrench to remove the left front spindle
new K-Member and coil over spring kit
New K-Member installed on the car waiting for new struts and wheel rotors to complete the front-end instalation. Below is Chris starting the Mustang one last time before it gets taken apart again (they say it sounds much better in person).

Today we really wanted to get some family pictures taken after church before Chris headed back to school. These are our last pictures together before Erin gets married! We asked Wendy's friend, Ashlee to snap a few shots of us. Kacie was not in the mood and more interested in looking at bugs outside, so it was very difficult to get her to cooperate.

Kacie lost her first tooth!

Kacie got her ears pierced tonight!

Kacie dediced she was finally brave enough to have her ears pierced. Here she is in front of the ear piercing sign at Claire's. Wendy came along to lend much needed moral support, and be the photographer. Kacie & Mommy before the big event

Looking a little nervous . . . Hair clipped back, and we're ready to go!

Ouch! It hurts more than Wendy said it would!
Happy it's done, and we made it through w/out tears!
Bribery! Kacie really wants to wear glasses, but was disappointed at her visit to the optometrist, to find out she doesn't need them. So she found these "vanity glasses" and reeaallly wanted them. We told her after she got both ears pierced, she could have the glasses.

Kacie's 6th Birthday







Erin's Engagement Pictures

On Saturday Wendy and her friend took Erin and Adam up to Ramsey Canyon and took their engagement pictures! They turned out so cute. Right when Wendy got home she edited them and designed their wedding announcements. They're all done! Here's one of the pictures, but check out Erin & Adam's blog for the rest. :)
