Incredible Weekend! (Catch-up Post #1)

So, I don't know, maybe I should actually write a post on this blog of ours! It seems like there is no time anymore! It is already the middle of February and I have not posted so much of our lives. So, over the next couple of days I vow to 'catch up'. Let's go back to December and our INCREDIBLE weekend.

Our neice Brittany got married in the San Diego Temple. It was an amazing couple of days we spent at my sister-in-laws home. As a family, we looked forward to this event. I got all the boys new suits and they were so excited to wear them. We drove over on Thursday and helped my SIL set up for the wedding reception in their beautiful home. They were married Friday at noon and it was such a beautiful sealing. Brittany was a gorgeous bride and Scott couldn't be more perfect for her. He just fits right into our family. Brittany is an incredible young woman. She was so prepared for this day, spiritually and really just so mature. The San Diego Temple is great, it has a little waiting room at the front of the Temple with a tv and church DVDs to watch. Our 4 boys watched Mr. Krugers Christmas and Legacy! That's how long they were in there!! Yikes! Cameron told me that the Temple worker came in to tell some other children they should try to be like these nice reverent boys (meaning our boys). Yeah, I know! Unbelievable! But, it just goes to show that the Temple is such a sacred place and our Heavenly Father's spirit dwells there. Once inside, my boys could feel that and were reverent and respectful of the House of the Lord. And...this might of helped too!
Here are some pics after Brit and Scott came out of the Temple.....




Here are some from the reception....Ryan and my neice Brinley were a definite attraction that night as they started out just sitting on the couch and then fell asleep..so cute!
This last picture is of Michael and Alyssa. Alyssa is such a cutie. She was one of Brittany's bridesmaids. Michael was INFATUATED (is that how you spell it?)with her! He followed her around like a stalker...hahaha! Anyway, turns out Alyssa is Ariel at Disneyland...she looks totally familiar to you now, huh?
