Marie and Ian

Manti Temple
It was Sept. 2 when I got the picture text message
of a diamond ring weighing down my sisters hand! We
were so excited for her and couldn't wait to
join together with our whole family for their wedding day.
Lets get the party started!! It all started the day before the wedding.
Tyler and I pulled in from WY just in time for
Maries bridal shower that my sister, sister-in-laws,
and myself were throwing for her. Every time
Marie got an answer wrong in one of the games she
had to put on a huge bra hence the pic with all
the nieces wearing them with her!!
After the "girl party" as Addie liked to call it wecelebrated my nephew, Brayden and niece, Emilee's birthdays.
They both turned 14 yr. old and are 2 weeks apart.
Oh how I love being with my family!
We (my brothers and sisters)all live scattered
about in the U.S. so we don't get ALL together very often.
It was a blast to spend the weekend with them. Although
it was a short and busy trip we soaked up every minute of it.
Then bright and early Saturday morning we traveled down to the Manti, UT Temple where
Marie and Ian were sealed for time and all eternity.
Yay... for Marie and Ian!!!!
Gotta love family and the times you get to bewith them!
On our way home to Provo after the luncheon we stopped by my 
And of course my Dad and his side kick for this
Addie with Grandpa Dave and her cousin Millie having fun out on the dance floor.
....And unfortunately to all my family.
On our way home to Provo after the luncheon we stopped by myGrandma and Grandpa Cooks grave. My Grandma
and Grandpa Cook were also married in the Manti Temple
and served an mission there. This temple has a lot of meaning
in my family. My parents were also married there. While we were
there I told Tyler that I wish I would have brought something to decorate
their grave. Then being the sweet thoughtful person my husband is and without
hesitation he began to unpin his corsage and ever so gently lay it on
their grave. It was perfect and meant a lot to me.
Next on the agenda and last but not least for the day
was the reception. And what a beautiful and FUN
reception it was.
And of course my Dad and his side kick for thisevent my aunt(his sister) Linda did the food.
It not only looked good but it taste dang good.
I couldn't get enough of the homemade orange rolls...
Yum!!
Addie with Grandpa Dave and her cousin Millie having fun out on the dance floor.My family probably spent the last hour of the reception
dancing away on the dance floor. Then it was time to say
goodbye to the bride and groom....
....And unfortunately to all my family.at least we got to spend a lovely Sunday morning with them
before we hit the road to come home.
What a fun, crazy, busy, awesome weekend filled
with lots of love, laughter, and good times!
