Sarah and Ben's Wedding

Sarah and Ben got married in the Washington DC Temple on December 30th. It was such a great day! And we're grateful that the weather cooperated as well!! Yeah!!

Here is Josh and David watching Conner during the wedding. We sure are lucky that I was able to attend the wedding....right before we got to the temple I realized that I had left my temple recommend at home! I was so focused on getting everything for Conner and things for the wedding that I forgot to bring what I needed!!

Here is Uncle Josh and Conner! His face cracks me up! I promise he's a happier baby than in most of his pictures!

He hates that I make him wear the Penguin hat all the time! But I guess I'll just be a mean mommy and have a warm boy!!!
Snuggling with uncle David


Tada!! The happy couple!!

Bridesmaids flowers....I have to brag a little here....I did the flowers! Still learning, but I do enjoy it a lot!!
Happy Happy Happy!!

It was SO nice and a fun day for Sarah and Ben's wedding. We are sure glad it all worked out, unfinished addition and all. We had a great luncheon of Cafe Rio and BYU football, and a beautiful morning. So glad that the weather was so nice at the end of January! We love you Sarah and Ben and Congrats!!

Conner's First Christmas!

We had an enjoyable Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! It is so nice to have some family near and to enjoy our first Christmas with our new addition! Even though he was only just over 3 weeks we still had fun! And more than ever we miss our other family that is not here!!! 

Christmas Eve we met some of my family at Great Falls to go walk around and enjoy the sunshine. Conner was perfectly happy in his favorite place! Even though I was super protective Mommy and kept trying to put more clothes on him and tucking blankets around him and Dustin. He is just lucky I decided to not put on the HUGE snowsuit....
