Utah plus Jocelyn & Sterling's Wedding...

I can't say we were surprised when we found out Jocelyn was getting married, but I still can't believe it! How could it be that Kacie's friends are now old enough to be getting married.

June 2nd Mom and I were lucky to attend the temple with her when she went for the first time.  That morning we went to her bridal shower.  After the session at the temple some of us went out to eat at the Texas Roadhouse.  It was a special day!  Kacie didn't want to miss out so she tagged along and waited for us outside of the temple.  I think Jocelyn was surprised and happy she was there.

June 20th the four of us went to Utah and stayed in Brigham City at the Crystal Inn Hotel.  It was fun exploring this cute city.  We went and check out the temple and ate at a pizza restaurant.  It was fun.

We set up my phone next to the fence and then I took this picture with my watch...crazy technology!  The next day we ate lunch at the famous Mattox Steakhouse.  It was so yummy! Brady had fried chicken, Scott had a shrimp patty and Kacie and I had steak, but the best part was their yummy rolls with raspberry butter and the coconut cream pie after!

We then went to see Travis and Natalie Rawlins and their two adorable kids Paxton and Lindsey just born on June 8th.  We brought them some gifts and had a nice visit before heading to Jocelyn's reception.  They asked me to provide the background music.

Such pretty girls!!!

The reception was nice but boy was it hot. After the reception Kacie stayed with Jocelyn, Mallory and Madi at a hotel in Logan.  Scott, Brady and I went back to our hotel in Brigham City and we watched Brady swim for a little while.  The next morning we went to their sealing in the Logan Temple.

Brady is so cute!

Scott was such a good sport to come with his broken toe!

Susie Ellsworth Stout took their pictures...she did an awesome job! After the wedding they feed us a nice lunch at one of the churches there.  We had chicken cordon bleu with rolls, salad and scallop potatoes and dessert.  It was really yummy!  We then headed home with the addition of Mallory with us.  We had a good trip!  Saturday night she had her reception at the Hartley residence.  It turned out really nice too.  They asked me to do the music again plus they had a fun dance.  We got home around 10:00 and I told Kacie I can't believe how tired I am and you weren't even the one getting married! haha!

So happy for these two...Sterling is a great guy and a good match for Jo!

Mom's Knee Surgery...

Mom had her other knee replaced on Monday June 4th.  I stayed with her the two nights she was in the hospital.  I was amazed how well she did, but her knee was still pretty numb while in the hospital.  The only problem was we didn't get much sleep.  Every time she was about to drift off her oxygen alarm would go off telling them her oxygen saturation was too low.  After the first night of no sleep they came in to do labs at 4:00 in the morning so I thought well I might as well get Kacie registered for school so I spent two hours figuring out her schedule but then BYUi's system was down at 6:00 when it opened up so then it took me another two plus hours till it was finally done.

 Rosie came with all her kids except Kyle on Friday the 8th and stayed for a week to help out mom.  It was nice having them here to help.  A week after her surgery on Monday the 11th she felt up to playing games.  It was nice to see her upright and doing better.

It was so fun seeing these two having such a great time together.  They truly are great friends.

Rosie took all the kids to see the new Incredibles 2 movie Friday afternoon...They all loved it!

After work on Friday the 15th I went and got Brandon for the night.  He gave me a big hug when I got to his home and he kept wanting to hold my hand on the drive home and I loved hearing him sing especially to the Tarzan song I'll Be In Your Heart Always.  All the boys had fun dressing up like Ninjas.  They were cute!

We absolutely love it when Brandon is so happy when he comes home.

Scott's Broken Toe...

Scott was working on the Dam or Diker and dropped a big piece of iron on his left big toe and broke it. I can't imagine how painful that must have been. He went to the clinic at St. Luke's in Fruitland and they confirmed it was a clean break. He was lucky it wasn't on the joint it could have been worst and had to have surgery to fix it. They just said to stay off it for four to six weeks.  The crazy thing was the next day he was back in the tractor and had it propped up with a pillow.

His brothers took him out to dinner then did a little shopping...this is how Scott managed to tag along.
