Chloe & Willy Get Married

8-15-2015

It was a wonderful day-

more to come

boys, boys, and more boys!

Confession:

I have thousands of pictures on my phone.

I won't delete them & you can't make me.

My husband thinks I'm crazy. 

I don't care.

Here are a few that I either took or one of the kids sent me of my darling Grandsons last year 2014. 

Peter

Crew with Uncle Jack

Charlie

 Megan's boys, Trent & I at the aquarium.

Babysitting the twins.

My boys after last year's Priesthood Session of General Conference.

Guess what?

This summer Trent is actually as tall as Brett!

One year and all that growth- that's one of the many reasons why I have so many photos.

Fall 2014

Fall is really my favorite time of year.

I just have to go back & post a little about last year... before...

it comes again!

During October we made cookies-

and watched the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.

Hailey turned 21- she loves all things chicken- and got this funny chicken plate.
Isn't she just the cutest!?

and Charlie turned 5.

He wanted pirate dress up clothes for his birthday.

look at this cute little pirate!

I can't resist posting this picture of Peter.

He is such a sweet baby. 

Lucky me- I made it to Charlie's Preschool Halloween Parade.

LOVED IT

AND- Trent is big enough now to carve his own pumpkins- so fun.

On Halloween night a cowboy Johnny & chocolate covered 50's style Claire dropped in.

The Swat Team took care of a little pumpkin & went trick or treating in their own neighborhood.

Buzz & Woody had the best time- but by the time I took this photo- they were done.

I am still teaching cooking classes for kids at home & at work downtown.

we had a little Halloween lunch party.

As much as I hate summer to come to an end- 

Fall 2015 is just around the corner.

jack gets married

One week after Grandma's funeral-

we had a wedding!

Jack & Dolly

decided to get married & didn't waste any time.

Realizing his last semester of school was starting, knowing he would be super busy as a senior, wanting to go on a honeymoon.....

they gave us 40 days notice.

ya-

you read that right...

40 days.

I was okay with it- I just felt bad for her mom- until I learned that Dolly- she is a gem & she literally did all the work. Every bit. She worked her tail off getting this wedding put together & she did a beautiful job. The pictures here are just snapshots- someday I will get better ones but for now the snapshots are great.

They chose the date-

12-13-14

It was a popular day to get married & so fun.

They are a beautiful couple.

Perfect for each other....

On their- 3, 4, maybe 5th date they went sky diving.

At least that's what they tell us- no pictures= no proof. 

I tell him I went sky diving that day too- but didn't take pictures, ya right.

She is fearless & loves adventure like Jack. 

I routinely remind him that life is not just about adventure, but that life is a gift from God. 

The greatest adventure is being true to what God would have you do in this life- that also takes courage. So adventurous & courageous they are & I hope they will always be.

Some other fun pictures from the day-

not many... ugh... but some.

You probably don't know this-

but Jack loves weddings with dancing. LOVES DANCING

He is a dancing fool & so are all of his buddies.

They made up a play list & had a D. J. just for this part of the night.

Unfortunately most of the guests had left when the full on dancing started- it was quite the show. 

Jack & his college buddies have the tradition of having a special dance for the groom at each of their weddings. it's down right hilarious! We have it on tape & someday I hope to post it on YouTube so I can retire. 

I love this picture because Dolly's friends are looking at Jack like... 

um.. Dolly- this is who you married??

ha hahahahahahha! I love it.

Having Dolly as a daughter has been a huge blessing in my life.

I don't worry about Jack as much (big load lifted) because I know when his malaria symptoms start up she lets me know. She helps take care of him & he here. They are good for each other & she is a dream. I hope they have a load of red headed grandchildren - just for me. 

Dolly & Jack
