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!

Wedding Luncheon

The wedding luncheon was really nice. TD and her girls went to alot of effort!! It was yummy food, adorable decorations, and the candy was such a fun treat. They had an adorable candy jar on each table, and a scoop, everyone had a cute container that they got to go around to all the tables and fill with whatever candy they wanted to. What a clever idea!!!

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!

Field Trip

Jordan & I went to Natural Bridges on her class field trip. It was a very educational experience! I told Jordan the last time she was there, she was in my belly! I am so glad we went!

Mother Daughter Campout

We had so much fun at the 2nd annual mother daughter campout. The stake really goes to a lot of work to make it fun! We had fun visiting, eating, watching a talent show, and then roasting marshmallows while we listened to cowboy stories. We took along Rene, Madi,their nanny and Allie Eberling. We look forward to it next year!! We missed having Manike along, she was able to go with us last year!

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!!

Lagoon

Last weekend, the girls and I got a whim and went up to SLC for the weekend to wedding dress shop. We spent the day at Lagoon on Sunday and I lost my phone, so please text me your number... On Monday, it was nuts, we went with Jessica to try on wedding dresses and get bridesmaids dresses. We found her dress, but we can't post it or Avery will see it...

The Girls

We wer hanging out with Jaimie at the store while we were waiting for Amy to tell us to leave to go meet her in Crescent Junction. Jaimie & Jordan were being goofy. Jordan made several funny videos which were making us crack up!

The Bomb Run

On Sunday, it was our last day to be with Brad. He wanted to go bowling, so we did. Then, we went ot church which was a different experience for sure. Then, we went over to the bomb run and took some pictures and walked around for a little bit, and then had to rush him back over by his dorms to get him dinner. He only had like ten minutes to wolf it down, but he did, he is used to eating fast these days lol. It was so hard to say goodbye again. Jordan & I cried. I am so glad we have such a close family!!
