Ashleys Wedding!!


It was my cute little sister Ashley's wedding on Friday. Up until we walked into the temple everything was super hectic and stressful and then everything ended up perfect. Between Shawn and Ashley locking their keys in their car on the morning of the wedding, and Ashley forgetting to buy a wedding ring for Shawn, the day was anything but boring!! We were also worried that it was going to rain, but the weather ended up great for pictures because it wasnt too sunny and it didn't rain at all! She looked soooo pretty.

They got married in the Salt Lake temple and then the dinner/ reception was at the Lion House right on temple square. Her colors were light blue and red and they turned out really cute! I loved her colors.

Me and Tyler on our way over to the lion house. He ended up being one of Shawn's groomsmen. They have become such good friends and have really similar personalities, so it will be so fun living by them (they moved in just a couple miles away from us) and being close with them. Tyler is also glad to finally have another guy in the family. We really love Shawn! He is so good for Ash.

All the bridesmaids and groomsmen. Me and my sisters and my aunt Lori and AShleys friend Callie were the bridesmaids, and then Shawn's brother, two brother in laws, and Tyler were the groomsmen. Shawns family was really friendly and nice. The two families really hit it off!
The whole gang!

Me and my sisters Emily and Abby, and my Aunt Lori who is pretty much like our fourth sister

She had one of the best photographers do her pictures. They turned out gorgeous. They are kind of hard to see in these pictures, but I will try to post some later when we have her cd. They tried to do them like Pearl Harbor, and they were at a train station. The one in the gold frame looked just like a model picture!
Overall, the night turned out perfect. I cant believe my little sister is actually married! I am so excited for them though and I'm so glad she is so happy.

One wedding down, one more to go this week!

MExico and My bday!


In July, we got to go to Mexico with my Dad and his wife and her kids, and my sisters. It was so much fun! This summer has been so busy but we are glad we got to go on a relaxing trip and spend time with friends and family!

There was so much stuff to do there! One of my favorite parts was the banana tube pulled behind the boat. I am such a baby on things like this but it ended up being one of my favorite things we did.

Me and AShla

Tyler was the only one that could talk Spanish to these little Mexican kids selling things. This cute little girl and her brother and sisters kept coming by us so we gave them so money. They loved that Tyler could talk to them! Later on we saw them again buying dinner with the money we gave them. Its sad to see how poor people are there!

There was also a huge open dirt/sand area for fourwheeling. The only problem was it was 100 degrees and we were all wearing helmets. We put a cooler of drinks and the car right in the middle so we had to keep making pit stops to cool off. The guys found a place with a bunch of jumps and stayed at pretty much for two straight hours. Tyler was lovin it!

I love the beach so much! Some reason this trip though alot of us got stung by jelly fish, including me! It didnt hurt as bad as I had thought it would but it scared me to death. My step sister Courtney got stung really bad though and the stinger was stuck in her finger. We almost had to take her to the hospital in Mexico but then they scrubbed it out.

Here is us with the newest member of the fam. Shawn! We love him. Tyler, Tony, Shawn and my dad had fun golfing at our resort. The golf course was right outside our back door.

Here we are just playin at the pool. There were a couple pools at our resort and not enough people to fill them. We pretty much always had the pool to ourselves.

Right before the trip was my birthday! I am now 23. When I got home from work (yes I had to work :( ) Tyler had decorated our whole apartment including the door going in. Then we went to my favorite restaurant the cheesecake factory!! I really dont think we have ever eaten so much. We were really sick afterwards. We could barely walk out to our car. Since eating is one of my favorite things to do it turned out to be a really good birthday!
