My Baby is 9

Evelyn turned 9 today. My first baby, who made me a mom. I love her so much and can't believe that we have had 9 years already. I feel like I have blinked and the past 9 years passed by with my eyes closed. I was thinking today that 9 more years and she will be an adult. We are already half way there... make time stop. Evelyn is such a sweet girl and is always so worried about others.
Evelyn loved this little lizard we caught in St. George. They held it forever.
Happy Birthday Evie! We love you so much and are so proud of you.

Josh & Audrey's Wedding!

On Saturday Josh and Audrey tied the knot. They wanted to just go to Justice of the Peace but me and some other family talked them into doing a very small wedding. I am so glad we did... it was so amazing and everything was beautiful. They got married at Starks in their new chapel (which is gorgeous).
I love this picture. These two are so cute together.
Shayneh and Lacie (a good friend from work) made this cake for Audrey. They put soooo many hours into making the purple flowers from gum paste. it was beautiful and was probably one of the best cakes I have had in a long time... fresh raspberries inside.... yummy!!!
Mikayla, Audrey and Audies new stepdaughter, Riley.
Shayneh, Audrey and Jason Starks before the ceremony.
In the brides room before the ceremony. Mikayla was so excited to see her mom get married.
Yes this is the brides room... don't mind the stuff on the desk... (this is actually the Starks office, there is always lots going on in here).
Awwwhhh... Audie looked so beautiful.
The four of us. Best friends marry twins!!!
My dad is so cute. I love watching him do daddy daughter dances.
First Dance as husband and wife.
Okay seriously take the time to look at all the kids faces. It took forever to get everyone together and looking at the camera. Hehehe... I giggle every time I see this picture. Mad chaos all the time!
A year ago these two got married and in about 5 weeks they will welcome a son into their lives. I can't wait!
My mom danced forever with Lydia and Lyd loved it.

The happy couple and Reverend Davis. It was such a great night and the wedding was beautiful. I cried a couple times. I am so happy for Josh and Audrey. I wish them a lifetime of love and happiness!

Thriller

We took a little vacation down to St. George to spend a couple of days with Brett's folks. It's so nice when the kids are off track and we have a little vacation spot to get a way for a few days. Brett's parents got 4 tickets to see Thriller at Tuacahn theater. We made a girls night of it. Brett's mom and Lydia have never seen Thriller and I have never been to the Tuacahn theater so it was really fun for all of us. I loved the theater... even though it was a little cooler then normal. Thriller was amazing... I have seen it up here a handful of times but it had a different feel being outside. Here are some pictures of the Zombies walking around before and after the show.
This Zombie was my favorite. The all white outfit and how she tied the bow in with the red color blood on her face. And she had those cool contacts in.
This was after the show and Lydia started warming up to the Zombies.
Evie looks a little unsure in this picture. This Zombie was super scary. He had safety pins stuck in his skin all over his face. His blood was everywhere and he had some kind of bloody contacts in. I couldn't blame Lydia for staying clear from this one.
Of course a picture with Jason.
This mummy was one of the better mummy dancers I have seen in the last couple of years. He was amazing.
Evie thought this vampire was so pretty... so we had to get a picture with her.
With Grandma before the show started.
This was before... Lydia is making sure she keeps a distance from the Zombie. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for the Thriller tickets... it was amazing.
