Wedding

This weekend has been full of wedding bliss. Started on Thursday night. We headed up to Idaho Falls to the reception. Driving 3 hours, hanging out for 2 hours, then turning around and driving home for 3 hours was NUTS. Not to mention that Abby was sick (still is, poor thing!) It was worth it though! On Friday afternoon we headed up to Logan to help Brian's mom set up for the "open house" in Logan that evening. We stayed at the in-law's that night and on Saturday we went to the temple ceremony at 10:30 followed by a luncheon at 2. We came home and started to get things straightened up when the happy bride and groom came to have my hubby take them to the airport. Now they're off and enjoying themselves, and we're happy the madness is over! :)

It was a wonderful time and the temple ceremony was beautiful! We are so happy for Spencer and Andelyn and hope they have a great time in Disneyland!!

Grandma Pack

Last week on Sunday Brian's grandma Pack had a pretty nasty fall. She broke her hip and had to have it surgically mended. Due to sever Osteoporosis and age the doctors weren't sure how well things would go. A few days after her surgery she had a stroke she wasn't able to swallow and therefor she couldn't get any nutrition she also wasn't able to communicate. On Saturday the 5th she passed away.

We had her funeral on Wednesday. She was a great lady. I will always remember how she welcomed me with open arms into the family, and I became one of her grandkids! How lucky I am to have known her! Love you Grandma!

First Day of Preschool

So yesterday Abby had her first day of preschool. She did GREAT! She was so excited that morning to go. She had her backpack on and was ready to go even before I was dressed. I think I focused too much (talking to her) on dropping her off, but didn't' talk enough to her about pickup time. She went right in, no problem. When I came to pick her up she was very upset.

Ok, it's been 2 weeks since I wrote that (I can't keep up on my blog) and Abs is doing great at preschool! No more tantrums when I come and pick her up. YAY!! Here is a picture from he first day.

This is the Place and the Zoo!

Ok, so I've been slacking on the blog lately (and getting crap about it from the parentals) so here is an update.

On the 15th we went with Brian's side of the family to This is the Place Monument for a Pack family reunion. It was a very cold day, but it was FUN! Here are some pictures:

After This is the Place we headed over to the Zoo for the remainder of the day. The kids had a blast:

Of course we had to ride the train:


Carson quite enjoyed himself the whole day:

Happy Anniversary

To my best friend,
Happy 6th Anniversary! Thank you for all you have given me. Thank you for your strength, for your humility, for your patients, and your love. Thank you for being such a wonderful father to our children. Thank you for asking me to be your wife. I love you more today than I ever thought possible.

Hair Cut

So this past weekend while out and about 3 different people commented on what a cute baby girl we had (Carson.) Fully dressed in boyish cloths I couldn't imagine what people were thinking. Then on Sunday a nice man in our ward asked when we were going to cut Carson's hair. I have been telling people for a while that he is just like Samson; and if we cut his hair bad things will start to happen. Well, I caved! And on Tuesday I. Cut. His. Hair. I know, all those curls....gone! I must admit that I miss them. He looks adorable now (much more like Brian,) but he looks too grown up. Here is a picture of the new do. Let me know what you think.

Enough for Locks of Love?

Treehouse Museum

So yesterday I wanted to do something fun and for the kids, so I called my friend Alicia to see if she and her kids wanted to come to the Treehouse Museum with us. They did, and we all had SO much fun! Here are some pictures from the day:
