Wedding...family....and fun

About two weeks ago my cousin, Cyndi was married. We had the opportunity to make this our little family vacation, and since it was in Northern California we threw in a trip to visit Grandpa L. It was a fast trip, but it was a great experience for us. Alexander was able to spend time with his cousins. We were able to meet our two newest members of the family Gannon and William. Catch up with family, cousins, Aunts, and Uncles. It was just a blessing to be surrounded by those we love. Thanks Cyndi for getting married, as there is nothing better than something so special bringing everyone together.


Here is Alexander with Gannon (Matt and Beth's). Alexander was helping to keep him from crying. It was also the first time that Alexander wanted to hold a baby. It's very cute! He is going to be a great big brother when the time comes.

Alexander and Cousin Ben love each other....they also play so well together...it must be a boy thing. :)

Cousin's waiting for the Bride and Groom to come out of the Temple. I think Cousin Hayden and Carter are pretending to throw each other into the fountain.

Family just waiting outside the temple enjoying the company and weather.

Cousin Natalie, Tyler, Alexander, and distant cousin

Here we are, just thinking about our turn in the Temple, it's coming up!

Brother Matt taking pictures

Me and my neice Hannah, who looks like me as a child and acts like me too. Interesting enough, Alexander has a little crush on her. Funny huh!

My cute and wonderful husband! He is amazing...I had to wait a long time for him but he is worth it.

Gannon, I think he is 2 months...and soooooo CUTE! Beth and Matt always produce cute kids, heck that is probably why they have 6 now! ;)

Beautiful Jill, Isabella and Richard in the background.

Jill and Zac with Superhero Spiderman in pocket

Sister love...Jill you are amazing...I am grateful to have you!

Ben and snack time...waiting while we get the family together for a pictures

It was a long day and the reception is about to begin. Zac and I went outside to get some "alone" time...just for a few minutes!

The Happy Couple...they look lovely...I helped do the flowers in the background. :)

My Sister Tricia did the cake...it was soooo lovely. She is amazing and very talented.

Part of the fun reception

My brother Matt, I think he is watching the Bride and Groom leaving...

This pictures was taken right after the "stealing of the bride" a tradition in the family. My brothers picked me up and then dropped me on rocks...Cyndi was lucky, she wasn't dropped!

Dancing and just enjoying the evening

After the wedding we went about 30 miles north to visit Grandpa L in Neveda City. It was so beautiful and we loved our time with Grandpa. He took good care of us by planning a special trip to the mines, dinner, and he even made us breakfast. It was all so wonderful!

here we are at the lake (can't remember the name) about to do a paddle boat.

We might have a speed boat but we had fun

Of course, my husband wanted to have the whole "silence in nature" thing...and I disagreed

Water is for making noise!

Alexander had a lot of fun...he is such a good swimmer

We were teasing him, and he fell in with a little help.

resting and staying warm

finished...and back on dry land

I am sad because I forgot my camera and we did some fun things...so these are all the pictures I have of us with Grandpa. We will just have to go back for another visit and take more pictures then.

Grandpa L and Alexander

This is a cute photo...

Saying goodbye to Grandpa L since we left at 5 am in the morning to get home. We really had a nice visit with him and look forward to visiting him again.
