Best Buddy Returns


We have been counting down for this day. Best buddy came home on June 23rd!! We couldn't wait! I think the kids were a little nervous too. They kept asking us if he would remember them. Silly kids! Jared flew home with another Anziano (Elder) from his mission. Lucky him huh? The two of them decided to wait until everyone else had gotten off first and then come down. They were so tired from their 3 day trek. After waiting what felt like forever we finally spotted them on the escalator.
The escalator ride seemed like it was in slow motion. When Jared made his way to us he had hugs for everyone. Even Brittany. I guess Jared figured she'd waited two years for that hug so he could bend the rules a bit. All of us happy folks Garett Bluhm came too. He served in the same mission as Jared.

Down time at the wedding weekend

This is the kids favorite activity in Vegas


While in Vegas we also had a cousins pool party! Doug enjoyed that!
Doug flew home and the kids and I headed to Utah for a week. Fun start for summer!

We got a new Uncle!


Aunt Shavonne got married! We left immediately after school got out (oh wait, nope, we had to wait to get music for the wedding on Doug's Ipod) and headed to Vegas. It was a long drive, major traffic on the last day of school. . .and we were tired when we got there. But, we went right to work. Douglas and I decorated the wedding cake. Whew! That was a job. Did I mention Doug and i do NOT do wedding cakes? There is a reason. Nonetheless the cake turned out fine. The next morning I did Shavonne's hair while Aunt Sara did her makeup. After getting her off to the temple I went and did Naomi's hair, Chloe's hair, and Lacey's hair. They all had matching french braids and curls. The wedding was beautiful. We missed Uncle Joseph and his family though. They were unable to make the long trip. Chicago is just too far away.

Last time for awhile

Doug still hadn't gone to Disneyland to get his pass. So we ventured out there again for that purpose. Chloe and Derek came along while Preston went to a friend's. We went on a few rides then came home. Perfect! Derek liked that he was so much bigger than the signs in Fantasy Land. Doug was excited to see how eager Derek ws to show him everything. Chloe was elated to meet Princess Jasmine and Aladdin Me? I was just happy to be at the Happiest Place on Earth!
