My niece, Elle, & Matthew's Wedding Day!  It was picture perfect and not one tiny detail was spared.  (Have I mentioned how talented my sis, Rhonda is??)  Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Skanchy!

I wasn't taking many pictures today for some strange reason, but here are a few glimpses of the day!!

 Cousins!

 We did manage to get one or two decent family pictures that are still on Anny's camera, (& we will use them for our 2015 Christmas card pictures)  but most of the time we looked like this!  Family pictures are just soooo much fun!  Bree's the biggest fan, with Mick as a close second.

 Who's the lucky girl going to be???

(Brynn, of course!!)

Reception FUN!

We have about 4,000 of these awesome pictures from the photo booth.

(Sorry, owner)

One of the kids' tables outside with a candy bar, toys, crafts, and everything else you could think of to keep this crew entertained for like twelve hours.

He's got the moves like Jagger

We spent the morning designing all of the flower arrangements for Elle & Matthew's Reception tomorrow.  It smelled divine with all of those fresh flowers surrounding us!!

Meanwhile, back in Henderson, Abby cheered in the Welcome Back Assembly with her squad.

I saw a video and some pictures and they were a.maz.ing!  I don't breathe much while she is flying, but maybe I'll get used to it one of these days.  After her performance, she hopped on the St. George shuttle for a mere 12 hours to join the wedding gang up north.  That Abs is honestly one of the best troopers there is.

Kids' Meals to the rescue on our drive to Utah for Elle's wedding

Hey-Look who we found when we got to Anny's house?  Baby Beau!  Bree even fed him his bottle and was beyond excited!  She will make an exceptional Mom someday.

Bree has become the favorite at our neighbors' house across the street.  These two boys just adore her...almost as much as she loves them!

Some days I look at the people I am surrounded by and feel like I need to pinch myself.  These two are the best of friends and man am I lucky to be their Mom.  Day 2 of school is complete.  

We took dinner to a family who had a tragedy recently and since their were fruit kabobs to be created, I put these two to work stat.

Cal made his own personalized kabob.  Can you guess which one it is? Hooray!  Today he likes green grapes!

One of my favorite family traditions...

The Annual Back to School Dinner & Father's Blessings
How I ever pulled these things off before Pinterest is beyond me haha!

The Table Setting

The Menu: Spaghetti & Meatballs, Caesar Salad, & Cheesy Garlic Bread

 We seriously are THE luckiest people to have this guy.

Each Father's blessing was beautiful, personalized & so full of the spirit you could almost reach out and grab it.  Love this team.  Love life even with all of its craziness.

We're READY for the 2015-2016 school year now!  Let's do this!

Today we hiked to Mary Jane Falls with the Thomsons.

It was quite the hike and everyone did awesome!  I totally failed as a friend making Carrie hike a difficult rated hike with her poor knee that is being operated on next week.  Yikes!  I won't blame her if she never trusts me again!

So long, Summer!  We'll miss you!

Things have been super exciting around here with a possible move to Washington.  LOTS of Limboland.

We're moving next week, no-actually we aren't...

We didn't plan on going to Back-to-School Day at Del Webb today, but ended up there...(thankfully, since we didn't move before school started after all!)

Life is all about how you handle Plan B (or X, or Z) right?

We came to visit Mick's Dad because he had a huge health scare last week.  It was a super weekend just relaxing up the canyon and being with the Tomany family.  

The kids can't get enough of this river

Cal's happy place is the swing

 

S'mores for this sweet tooth!
