More visitors!!

Last weekend, we had even more visitors come crash at our house! Chris's younger brother, Curtis, was getting hitched and all of the siblings and their families, Chris's parents and grandparents came in town for the occasion. We had a great time with everyone here! Everyone was super helpful and the kids had a blast! If I am counting right, we had about 18 extra people staying with us - then add us 5 into the number - so 23 people. We would have had 11 more, but they decided to stay other places.

The only picture I got of some of the family that was here with us. This is Chris's brother, Clinton and family.

Curtis and Shannon's wedding was beautiful and they were floating in the clouds. They looked so happy and excited! They got married in the Mesa, AZ Temple. I am so grateful that we have beautiful temples that make it possible to be united through the eternities - not just while we are here on earth! What a blessing!

Just Married!! Congratulations!!!!

Beautiful Shannon

Well, it's summertime in Arizona....that means - HOT!!! The cousins all tried to find a little corner of shade to keep cool in while waiting for Curtis and Shannon. We ended up taking family pictures before the reception later that night. It was just way to hot to keep the kids and little babies outside for very long.

Hot little Parker. He was super sleepy and had a rough time while we were in the sealing. But, in Parker fashion - he quickly turned his frown around and was his happy self.

Handsome Zach!

I sure do love this boy! Man, he is growing up so fast!

Yes, I know these next two pictures are kind of scary! Chris decided to crash the party and dress up in....ummm....I don't know what! Something nasty - that's all I know! He loves to embarrass his siblings when he can!
