- Wedding weekend!
We headed out Saturday morning to Utah. We stopped for a quick lunch at Maddox and then went to the Hill Air Force Base Museum. Peter was in complete awe the whole time we were there. His smile was so big and he wanted to see and know about everything in site. Kendal enjoyed herself, and was more "hands on" than she should've been. We were short on time, but we tried to go fast and fit in most of what the big museum holds.
From the museum we headed towards Pleasant Grove. We dropped the kids off a few minutes from the temple with Casey's cousin Jill and headed over to the Mt. Timpanogus Temple. Cody and Mia were beaming and so sweet. The sealer talked a great deal about posterity (kids ; ) and was touched by the spirit in the room. It was special to be there and witness their union. Kenny and Cheryl have an wonderful family that I'm lucky to be apart of.
When the sealing was over we got the kids and headed back to the temple for family pictures. Peter and Kendal were so excited to see Cody and Mia, to get a new Aunt, and be with family. Peter seemed enamored with Mia and even held her hand around the temple and in many of the kids' photo's. It was a beautiful day and the kids happily played around the temple grounds with each other and Madi.
Next we headed over to the reception center to eat dinner. We had some Mo Beta's (Hawaiian food). Following the dinner the kids played out back while the reception got going. There was a big dance floor out back that the kids spent most of their time busting out their best moves, twirling, and having a marvelous time. We got to catch up with some family, and enjoyed watching the kids have a blast all around us. Casey and I cut things a bit short because we were headed to Salt Lake for the night.
Sunday:
Our original plans were to take the kids to see the choir and visit Temple Square. Since they have an age restriction to see the choir we ended up taking our time to get ready before we headed over to Temple Square. Katherine joined up with us and we went to the visitor and conference centers with the us. It was a nice morning getting in some gospel history and enlightenment. Katherine had us over for sandwiches before we headed home.
Halloween:
I had my 28 week appointment / glucose test in the morning. (Everything is looking good, and on track for our little Lady to arrive in eleven weeks!) Peter got to play with his cousins for a while while I was stuck at my appointment. Peter would have put his costume on as soon as he woke up on Halloween but I had him wait till after lunch. After dinner I took the kids out trick or treating to Ballard's Way neighborhood. (No Casey since he's had basketball since the 24th, and Halloween was his official first day.) Kendal was galloping / running along having a great time. Peter enjoyed himself for a while, then he wanted to be done walking and kept saying he had enough candy. We weren't out super long because it was getting dark, and my body was Done; thankfully the kids didn't mind and ate a couple of candy's before I showered and sent them to bed.
Here is the Magical, Flying, Unicorn and Peter Pan in all of their glory! Their funny poses make me smile!
Vanessa and I headed out after lunch with Peter, Becca, and Thomas we converged in Raft River with Kenny, Cheryl, Nicole, and Sarah to set up for the reception. It was simple, but looked very nice. We served brownies and ice-cream Sunday's. The kids happily watched a movie, ate their fill of sweets, and played around the church a bit. Casey, Terry, Brett, David, and Kendal came a bit into the reception (work / school / basketball). We're very happy the wedding / reception are done with and thrilled to have Mia join our family.
