Our niece Ashley got married this past weekend. Ashley and Will had a beautiful ceremony in the Portland Temple and then we all went to the Olive Garden for a luncheon afterword.
Evan and I truly enjoyed the fact that
living so close to the Temple, we were able to leave our kids with a babysitter and enjoy the beauty of the Temple and the relaxation of the meal afterword with out little ones in tow :) We even took the rare opportunity to take a picture of just us on the Temple grounds. We have so few of
us anymore...
Our other married
nieces and nephews had their little children with them. We were laughing
about the fact that Evan and I are "Great Aunt
Rebecca and Great Uncle Evan" to those kids...Don't you have to have grey hair before you can
attach a "great" to the
beginning of your title? Here is our nephew Brett with our great nephew Jared...so cute.
Our kids went
buz-
erko on the sweets at the reception. Cameron came back to our table at one point with a plate of
16 brownies! When we pointed out to him the slim chance of him being able to actually EAT that many, he willingly shared with his brother and sister.
Look at how HUGE I am. One of the grooms aunts said she was worried I was going to go into labor during the ceremony...I have 8 weeks to go!

WOW! My oldest niece is only 8 years old. I would like to have older ones because that's more opportunities to go to weddings (I just LOVE weddings!). I hope you enjoy your last eight weeks being preggo...the last three weeks always killed me. My sister is due in two weeks and we are expecting a hurricane/tropical weather next week and it has been known to put women close to their due date into labor. She is terrified she will have to have her C-section in a hospital running on a generator!!
Cute pictures - and all different from the ones I have. It was a beautiful wedding and fun reception.
I especially liked the picture of the three kids munching down a plate full of brownies. They sure know how to have a good time at a party.
I can hardly wait 'til the next celebration.
