Reverend James

As I was looking through my wedding pictures I found this one. Don't worry there is a story behind it.

My older brother got married 13 days before me so when it was time for my sister to do my bridal shots my sister-in-law-to-be got her bridal shots done too. Since we were there together we took one together to remember the experience.

Here is the line at my brother's wedding. Pictured: (left to right) Tya (my little sister), Heidi (me), Shelley (cusin of the bride), Jetta (my sister-in-law), Ben (my oldest brother), Steve (my brother's best friend), Hyrum (my baby brother), and Robert (my second oldest brother).

And here is the funny part. Like I said, my brother was scheduled to get married 13 days before me. The morning of the wedding (Saturday) my brother calls to ask me if the county I'd gotten my marriage license in was open on Saturday and I told him no and asked what was up. He proceeded to tell me that he hadn't gotten a marriage license yet. The guests were already in town and the reception hall was non-refundable so he was very upset. So I told him "Fake it." He was like "What!?" So I told him to just do the wedding and go in on Monday and get married legally. So he called the bishop that was supposed to do the wedding and he refused to do it because he said it wasn't legal so I volunteered my fiance. So my sweet James borrowed a suit from my brother-in-law and a shirt and tie from my brother and a quad. My mom wrote the script and we put it in the quad and James read his part. After the wedding my grandma came up to me and asked if my fiance was there and I said "Yeh, did you see the preacher, that's him." And she say's "Oh does he do that on the side?" So I said, "No Grandma the wedding was fake." And she says, "That's nice."

Reminiscing

James and I are coming up on our 5th Anniversary in a couple of weeks so I've been reminiscing over our engagement and wedding pictures. I found a couple engagement pictures I wanted to share mostly because they make me remember that there was a time when I was young and hot (three kids ago). James is still hot but he has always been my "old man". :)

Fun, fun, fun...til daddy takes the credit card away.

We've been having so much fun since Daddy finished his summer training.

Charity at a cool play place. The girls love this place.

Lizzy at the same play place.

Shopping! Our favorite past-time.

Cheese!

I was trying to get a pic of all 3 kids for the wallpaper on my phone. Not bad, huh? Notice my toes. :)

The girls love the carousel at the mall. I love the A/C!!!

We splurged and took the kids to Build-A-Bear. Charity named her bear "Rainbow" and I helped Lizzy name her bear "Hearts." They really enjoyed the experience.

This is at good 'ol Chic-Fil-A.

The girls were invited to a friends ballerina birthday party.

James says Charity looks so regal in this picture.

Today Lizzy had some fun of her own. Daddy accidently left the corn starch (we use it as baby powder) in her room and she found it when she was supposed to be napping. James said he about died laughing when he went to check on her. We were just glad she was playing in corn starch rather than fecal matter. Three times last week Lizzy took off her diaper and pooped on the floor when she was supposed to be napping. We had to resort to taping her diaper shut for the sake of her health.
