more wedding pictures

Here are some more pictures from this weekends wedding and reception...

If anyone knows my family, you should know we ALL love pictures, so this one cracks me up...

kids being silly...

...kitchen workers (where I spent most of the reception, the kitchen is always a fun place to be actually)

servers...

i dont want to even know what Joel is thinking hear...maybe "why is she touching me, gross girl cooties"

Kyler say's "I love sushi" and yes he tried it, and ate his other food with chop sticks!

AdVeNtUrE

What a blast we had coming home from Cannonville. Secretly..okay so maybe not so secretly I was hoping we would get snowed in on Sunday. I hate leaving that small town. I was almost granted that wish...we woke up to LOTS of snow...we quickly got dressed to head to Cannonville for church, only to find out that it was cancelled due to blizzard like conditions. We hung around for the morning...(playing in the snow, Kyler even got to clear some snow with uncle George in his tractor)





but the weather seemed to clear up, so we headed out.


We decided to head over Cedar Mountain so that the kids could enjoy the winter snow storm..we figured it would be a little harry at times, and it was ;-)

Once on Cedar Mountain we detoured and headed to Mammoth Creek (the cutest little village known to man), then decided to just head over to Cedar Breaks, the roads had all been plowed (though you couldnt actually see the blacktop anywhere on Cedar Mountain)...we followed the highway, and then...


....the stop sign. Can you believe it. The road was actually closed off. So we got out and played around in the deep snow.




i just love the snowy mountains. We had so much fun, running, jumping, swan diving (Joel) and even making yellow snow (Kyler)....what more could we want.





Of course then we had to turn around and head back towards Duck Creek and make our way down the rest of the mountain.

Mikki's reception

My cousin Mikki was married this weekend. The wedding was on Friday at the temple followed by a super YUMMY luncheon at the new Marriot hotel here in town. The on Saturday we headed to Cannonville for the reception.
I love the colors she chose, these really pretty teal colors...I loved it. This is where those hairbows I made were used, and the aprons...
...We all loved the snow there too. We headed to Teresa and Georges after the reception and spent some time there, and the way back to the motel we almost hit some deer though...can you imagine hitting a 'reindeer' right before Christmas, now that would have been a tragedy ;-)

...another new camera

...so if I've never said it yet, Costco is the best. The camera that I bought after thanksgiving, and have been using for the last few weeks, well I just wasnt loving it. So I called Coscto, told them I had thrown away the box, used it...blah blah blah....and they returned it, they gave me a full refund. So I LOVE costco. I got another camera, hopefully this one will be better ;-)

Family time

Joel's sister Lori and Aundreya were able to drive out to Utah for Thanksgiving. Last night we had a family dinner and game night (though the games never happened;)) before they left for Texas. I made Aundreya and three of my other neices little matching outfits yesterday...but thats another story, Ill post it on my other blog ;-)

MuSiC

The kids started their private voice lessons today! So exciting! Taran and Joely have also been taking violin from my friend Debbie Decker and they are loving it...and if you ask me I think they are doing really well! Actually in the last month of violin they have learned more then they did all last year in piano, she is such a WONDERFUL teacher!

momma's got a new camera

HIP HIP HOORAY!

some pictures that have been hanging around on my old camera

These were on the old camera and needed to put on my computer, heres just some snippets of them...the cute baby outfit and matching burp cloth was made for Parlee by my friend Carrie....also there are some Zoo pictures, and Parlee :)

My link button now works...

The link button to my other site was not linking...it's now fixed ;-)

What a day!

Today my sister was down from SLC, and we had to put the family dog down. Truth be told, I have never been a huge fan of this dog, he's a big old pit bull. But my sister loved the dog SOOOO much. So I went into the vet with her while the dog was put down. Wow, that was emotional! I cant believe how hard it was, I cant imagine how hard it must have been for my sister, because I felt like I was falling apart. Way to go Jess, on being strong!

YEAH! My new blog is finally ready. I had a custom blog made for the site, featuring this cute little pea pod baby ...oohs and awws....So stinkin' cute, I love it, I even have my own button that you can post on your site...friends of mine, post the little button on your site ;-) Sadly though my camera is broke, so it's going to be hard to add stuff to the blog right now. Hope to remedy that REAL soon!

Birthday Boy!

Kyler turned 3 on November 6th! He was SO excited for his birthday...I am thinking that may just be an understatement! On his actual birthday, well, we didnt do much. Because that night we were celebrating Grandpa Stouts birthday. Of course as we lite grandpas cake candles, and I could see the excitement in Kylers eyes, I thought we may have a problem on our hands....Kyler of course figured we were singing for him (as he should have thought) So when we were done singing, he went to blow out the candles, and Joels family who forgot it was Kylers actual birthday started yelling "STOP" Naturally Kyler burst into tears, he didnt know why he was getting in trouble for blowing out candles on hos birthday....(of course I have a hard time undertanding why you get mad at ANY kids blowing out candles, who cares who's birthday it is) I quickly explained that it was his birthday today and we re-lit the candles and sang to Kyler.

On Saturday we celebrated his birthday, he woke up to his bedroom doorway all decorated up (He loved that) Then we had waffles, his favorite. Later we went and fed the ducks at the Bloomington golf course and the had a party at grandma and grandpa Foremasters house for him. He was beaming! We finished the day by eating at Pasta Factory and then going home and having a movie night where we watched Willow (remember that old one?)

Happy Birthday Sweetie!

New Blog

I just started a new blog to 'house' all the stuff I make ;-) The link can be found on my blog list. It's called pea pod creations.....I am thinking that the name I am going to use for some labels I'll have made up, I figured I'll see how I like it by naming my new blog that for a while ;-)

Getting ready for the BIG 3

Kyler turns 3 on Friday, and he getting pretty excited. We added the music and changed the blog for him, he always comes over and opens up the computer (because this is my home page) and dances around to the birthday music he picked out. Maricela came and picked him up and took him out for some birthday pictures (he was getting sick that day and you can see it in his eyes) but he was still excited to be getting ready for his birthday!

Sew fun

I was looking at some sewing mag that posted fun crafty sites to check out on the web of peoples blogs, and I read them all....how funny! I never would have guessed that I would have already found the 'cool' blogs. Makes me feel a little special. I am thinking of making some little clothing labels for some outfits I make, but I dont want them to say my name I just want a cute little name to represent the stuff I make. Any ideas? I just cant decide on a name.
