Kacie's Bridal Shower...

I've had a lot of fun preparing for Kacie's bridal shower.  I made these prints and decorated the date night ideas jar.  I found the cute recipe box at Amazon.  It had cute recipe cards included that I sent out with the invitations.  It was so fun seeing all the difference recipes she got back.

Dad even got in on the decorating...haha!

I found this idea on Pinterest where you take three plastic tablecloths and staple one end.  Then you hang it up, cut strips and then braid the strips at the top.  You then you have a cute and cheap backdrop.

This was the one thing that Kacie wanted the most so Wanda was so nice to make a double batch for me.  It was so delicious.  I also got rolls, cheese and lunch meats at Costco.  Tara made some yummy mini cheesecakes and I also grabbed some chocolate chip cookies from Costco for dessert.  I also put together a fun sodabar with a sign with different flavor combinations with cherry, vanilla, coconut and strawberry.  

It was fun seeing these cute Aunties figuring out what drink combination they wanted.

I was so pleased with how many that came and the weather was perfect.

Ada Ballantyne, Jenny Simpson & Donna Seuell gave her some nice clear food storage containers.

Valeda & Melissa gave a green candle

Krista Frahm gave a gift card

Julene & Katie gave her some card games.

Tami and Karli gave a cute basket with cooking supplies

Kendalee, Lea & Maya gave her a griddle and pancake recipe

Launa gave a recipe book and a pitcher with cups.

Shelley and Hailey gave measuring cups, brownie mix and mixer 

Aunt Barbara gave $30.  Tara & Sheree gave cooling rack, cookie sheets, silicone matt and two different sized cookie scoops.

Wanda gave a nice makeup organizer

I asked Cole's sister Carriesa to put together some questions to ask Cole and then she quizzed Kacie on how well she knew him.  It was so fun! When she got answers right she would put some bling on her.  The shocking answer was when he said he wanted eight kids.  haha!

Carriesa gave her some tights and a pink shirt from lululemon.  So cute!

Madison & Ashley gave her these mugs, and a cute letterboard

Tiffany Farmer gave her a card that said forget cooking and go out to eat with a gift card to various restaurants and on her recipe card she wrote, "Your mom's peanut butter bars and when you get the recipe share it with me!"  It was so funny!  Grandma Joan gave her a really nice spice rack full up spices and refills up to five years.

Rosie and Mckinley gave her this cute tool kit that had quotes on all the different tools on how to keep a happy marriage and she added some lingerie for a tool too.  It was super cute!

Amanda Andrew and Christine Graviet (friends of Wheeler family) gave her this super cute basket!

Another friend of the Wheelers, Colleen Walker gave her a big bag with more cooking utensils.

Jolene and Carriesa tied this quilt for her.  I guess Cole's grandmother would make a quilt like this for all the kids when they got married and so it was super tender when they explained how they wanted Cole and Kacie to have one even though she had recently passed.

Janel Thueson, Cole's best friend Bransen's mother gave her these nice framed prints of the Living Christ and the Proclamation plus a pink tool kit.

Andrea & Mallory, Cole's sister-in-laws, gave her a cute basket with a love fern (haha) popcorn, sparkling cider, the in/out sign, welcome mat, a bunch of gift cards and chocolate.  So fun!

Madi Mitchell gave her this cute basket too!

I gave her the No Place Like Home sign plus the swimsuit, some beach towels and I had Bobbi Goodfellow make her the First Day, Yes Day and Best Day sign.

Tonya Wheeler and her girls gave her a cute letter-board sign.

Madison and Ashley decorated the patio...so cute!

McKenzie gave her a basket with different bath items.

Allie Nunez gave her a pretty floral nighty.

Wendy Cleaver gave her a card with $25.00

Lucy Beck gave her some pioneer woman salt & pepper shakers.

Nancy Nielsen gave her a card with money

Teniele gave her some lingerie too!

Grandma Sue gave her a nice ice cream maker!

Cuties...

Stacie and Taylor gave her a cute backpack with everything they need for a picnic.

I can't believe my baby girl is getting married!!!

She sure got spoiled at this shower...I couldn't believe all the awesome gifts!

Kacie's Temple Endowments.

Kacie's new temple dress

New temple bag

It was pretty cool that Kacie's Grandma Sue was able to embroider the Meridian Temple and her endowment date on her temple packet.

I can't believe my baby girl is going through the temple...I sure love her! 

Kacie decided to go through the temple and have her bridal shower the end of June so her roommates could come too!  It was so fun having them stay with us for a couple of days.  They did some shopping and some baptisms while we were in the temple.

Ashley Adame, Kacie and Madison Houdek

Such cute girls!!!

 Joe, Jolene & Cole Wheeler, Kacie Talbot, Carriesa, Andrea, Mallory and Kam Wheeler.

It was such a special night and it was so nice to have family there with us.

I'm so proud of Kacie being worthy to attend the temple!

After we all went to get some ice cream.  I'm sure they were not very happy when we all showed up at 10:00 which was closing time, but it was way fun!

More June Activities...

The first part of June Kacie was excited to have Misa come to Rexburg for a visit.  They are so cute!

June 22nd Cole and Kacie went to watch Brock Udy bull-ride in Tremonton, Utah. 

 Ashley and Madison tagged along with them.  They had a great time!

 These roomies had a great time at the movies watching Toy Story 4

 June 28th Grandma Sue took this bunch to watch Toy Story 4 too.  She was pleasantly surprised how much she like it.

Mike Smith's Funeral

We were all sad to hear about the passing of Mike Smith.  He was irrigating with his grandson and had a heart attack.  I feel so bad for Sandy.  They were about to have their 50th wedding anniversary too!  He was such a great guy and always had a smile for everyone.  He will be greatly missed.

Kingston's 1st Birthday...

After we got done with Cole and Kacie's engagement pictures, Kacie and I went to Deseret Book to get her temple clothes and then we met everyone at Kingston's 1st birthday party.  He is so cute and Alexz always does an amazing job at throwing parties. It was fun to see everyone!

Alexz made little outfits on all of these stuffed animals for all the kids that were there.
