Lots to Celebrate!!!

It has been pretty crazy around here lately! We've had some many reason to celebrate so this post is a little long. Two weeks ago my brother and his wife had a new baby girl, my sister Karena and her three little boys (one of them is also brand new) are in town from Iowa, and this past weekend my younger sister got married. Like I said, it's been crazy busy around here.
I guess I should start off by saying
"CONGRATULATIONS" to Keri and Daniel.
The wedding was on Saturday, so Chad and I went down on Friday to help get things setup for the big event. That night we had the wedding dinner at La Vinga in American Fork. It was so fun to just sit and laugh with all of my brothers and sisters.
That night Chad and I made a quick trip to visit his grandparents, caught up on some March Madness games, watched half of a movie, and got into bed around 12:00. Thankfully, we were able to sleep in until 9:00. After a quick breakfast I headed out the door to go help my sister, Kylene, do her hair and makeup. It took me all morning, but I think it turned out super cute. (A picture of it is on the slide below) After I finished with her hair I offered to do my mom's. Once I was done with her I think I had a grand total of 30 minutes to shower and throw myself together before the ceremony started. I made it in record time, not looking too shabby either. The ceremony and reception were great. It was so much fun to see my newest nephew and niece, my grandparents from California, and other fiends and family members. We partied the night away and crashed once we got back home

After a quick rest on Sunday and work on Monday, Karena and her boys came to stay the night last night. It was so much fun to have them here with us. After dinner we had a really good family night lesson with yummy birthday cake for dessert. (Bennett had celebrated his birthday the day before. He's now three.) After family night and a few games we put the boys to bed; including Chad. Then Karena and I stayed up talking, laughing and going through pictures until 12:00. This morning I woke up to two little boys creeping into my room asking me to play with them because "mommy is still asleep". Once we were all awake, fed and showered we headed off to have some fun. Our first stop was the Hill Aerospace Museum. It was great! The boys loved seeing all the old planes and vehicles, besides you can't beat the free admission. After the museum we headed over to the park to have lunch and feed the ducks. Unfortunately we never made it over to the ducks! After lunch the boys wanted to play for a few minutes; Bennett went down one of the slides that still had a puddle of water on hit and completely soaked his pants. We decided we'd better take him home to change. After a little bit of play time they packed up and headed back to grandma's house. What a great time it's been getting together with family and spending so much time together!
