Skyler and Shannon's Utah wedding

I love this picture of Skyler, Shannon, and Elinor.  Such a beautiful wedding!  They gave the sweetest vows that they each wrote for the other.  So glad we could be there.

They got engaged in early spring and planned a fall wedding.  They ended up finding a house in Dallas to buy, so Shannon moved to Dallas from Utah in the summer and they had a small wedding at the courthouse with just their parents.

All of Skylers siblings and their families were able to come to the wedding in Utah.  Ricky and Becky stayed with Pierce, Tatia and Jake stayed with Krista, Charlie and Jen stayed with us and Robynn and Dick, stayed with Lani.  It was wonderful to have all of them here for the weekend.

Everything was so nice.  Congratulations Sky and Shannon!

 

Our sleepover with Zac

Jamie and Jordan took their 3 big kids to an Imagine Dragons concert and we got to have Zac for a sleepover.  We visited with Krista, who has Llamas right by her house.  He did not know what to think of them.  

He is the perfect age for our playroom, we spent hours in there playing with everything. 

This boy LOVES books just like everyone else in his family.

He cooked me some carrots and when he gave them to me he said, It Hot!

We had the best time with this little guy, he is soooo much fun!

 

Our trip to visit Paula and Bob

In October, Mike and I took a road trip to Cortez Colorado to visit Paula and Bob.  They live on 5 beautiful acres.  They have been working hard on landscaping and builing all kinds of things ever since they bought the property. They are such great hosts, we had a wonderful time! 

They are building a pool house for Bob's pool table and part of it will be an art studio for Paula.  Mike was able to help him with the siding. 

Here's a view with their carport/shed that they build using a semi trailer for their storage.

I was able to go with Paula to her belly dancing class. 

Bob has an incredible garden and has been canning tons of food from it.  He cooked us all kinds of delicious food, and sent us home with all these tasty canned goods and some opo squash for our neighbor who is from Thialand.

She made a yummy stir fry that she shared with us.  

September birthdays

Our little Zac turned 2 and Jamie did the cutest birthday party for him.  It was based on his favorite book about a very hungry caterpiller.  He was so cute, he loved all his presents.

Abi turned 15 and we got to go to her house for dinner on her birthday.  A few weeks later, we were able to find a day to take her to lunch.  We went to Wing Stop and it was so good.
