Reception

We don't have the pictures from the photographer yet, but thank goodness for my sisters & mom!! I am so glad they took pictures, because I didn't have my phone on me all day let alone my camera! There are so many more pictures than this, and I am sure Jessica will put some of her favs on her blog, and when Brooke is done, we will get to see all of those too!! I just loved how everything turned out!!! Even thou all the girls in line ended up wearing jackets...it was still alot of fun, and worth it! It was so pretty. Jessica said it turned out just they way she dreamed it would! I still can't believe my baby girl is married!! We love Avery & are so glad to have another addition to our family!!!

Reception Decorations

Here are some of the decorations at the reception. It all turned out so nice!! We loved it! A gust of wind came up about 5:30, and blew everything over, and I got really worried, but it all worked out!! We were not able to light our candles, but the yard was absolutley beautiful, especially after dark. The pictures we have of it after dark just don't do it justice!

Jessica & Avery's Wedding

Here a few pictures of the newlyweds when they came out of the temple. What an amazing day! I can't believe it finally arrived. Their wedding ceremony was beautiful! I felt so blessed to have so many family members travel to be a part of their day! I love being a part of such a big wonderful family! I am so glad Jessica is marrying into a great family!!

Bridal Showers

Wow, Jessica is so lucky! She actually had 3 bridal showers. Her 3 new sister-in-laws threw her one up in SLC in August, which was amazing! Her Grandma Ziegler threw her one in St. George on Sept. 11th, and it was so much fun!! The pictures I've posted are from that shower. It was so good to see family I haven't seen forever. We played some really fun games. One of the pics is of Jessica being a good sport dressing up for her "rehersal dinner". The shower in Monticello was also really nice. We had a good turn out, and a lot of fun! I feel so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends who show their love and support to my children!

Temple Square

We went to the Joseph Smith Memorial building so I could get garments, and it wasn't open for another hour, so we did some exploring. We went to the tenth floor and looked out and took some pictres. It was really cool. We walked all around the temple grounds, and Jessica showed us where Avery proposed. It was a lot of fun!!

Jessica & Avery Are Engaged!!

Wow, life has been a whirlwind for us. Jessica decided to come home from her nanny job early. She told Fritz & I, but wanted to keep it a secret. She flew into SLC on May 23rd, and Avery picked her up. He propsed to her on Temple square on Sunday, and on Monday, she met us in Moab and surprised her sisters!! We are all so excited and thrilled for Avery to be a part of our family!!!

Girls Birthday Party

We actually went to Grand Junction on Saturday (Jaimie's Birthday) and went shopping and out to Red Lobster for dinner (YUMMY) and spent the night. The girls and Fritz enjoyed the pool & hot tub. We came home sunday morning, then had a family party for them. We ate Taco Salad, and yummy cake and ice cream. Jessica is now 19 and Jaimie is 16, can't believe how time flies!
