The Wedding

Blake and April were sealed in the Bountiful Temple on July 18th 2015 for time and all eternity.  This was also the first time that my husband, my parents, my siblings, and their spouses have all been in the temple together at the same time.  It was pretty amazing... saying my parents were happy is a big understatement.  I love going to sealings, it's such a great reminder of the importance of marriage and family.

While we were waiting for the bride and groom to come out...

I think it was around this point that Jed and Ben told me that I could/should quit taking pictures... if you see them, give them the stink eye.  Seriously, because you can't have too many pictures. 

How sweet is this couple

After the ceremony all of us (minus Blake and April) went to eat at Five Guys.  Then we went and picked up our kids from Larry and Sharla (aren't they the best?!)

They had their reception at the LDS church on Jefferson and 21st.  It's a really old, beautiful church... and my parents just recently served an inner-city mission there.

 My two most favorite photos are... this one of my girls  

 and this one of my boys.

All the kids explored the 'secret' passageways and ran wild.  I really didn't see Hailey for most of the time.  I would occassionally see her run past the dessert table.  When we were all packed up in the car ready to go, Hailey was missing.  Ben walked through the almost empty church looking and found her in the kitchen chatting with April's sister.

 As a person who rarely takes selfies, I decided this was a special occassion and it was acceptable.

 The girls got to catch a bouquet.  Since Abigail is at least a foot taller than the other ones, she caught it.  She treasures her bouquet and she made a special spot on her dresser for it.

The reception, or party as the kids called it, was so much fun.  April's family did an awesome job.  

My kids love Aunt April and we're so glad she picked Blake.

 We love you guys!
