Family Blessings!

August was definately a month of family get togethers! We had 3 Temple sealings and a baptism! One in the Denver Temple, and 2 in the San Diego Temple. I feel so blessed to be able to go to those wonderful family events. What blessings we have! I decided to just put a bunch of my favorite pictures together in scrap pages because I had so many!

My nephew's wedding in the San Diego temple, lots of family pool and beach time, and even a bridal shower for my niece. (Hence the fun sister pic with the silly hats! It was an afternoon "tea" party bridal shower...but there was no tea! :) )


I also was happy to get to spend a few days with just my dad. My mom went on a little trip with my aunt to see some plays in Cedar City, so Dad and I played! We had lots of fun talks, and I was lucky to spend that time with just him. He is so dear to me and it is so hard to see his health not the greatest anymore. It was a bit challenging but I feel so blessed to be able to have had that opportunity. The boys of course just loved spending time with their cousins! It was fun to see my older brother too, as he finally got to meet Blake!


I took the boys to the Rainbow Sandal outlet in San Clemente, and Blake found a sandal that was just his "size" he said! Nathan bought some cool sun glasses, and Matthew learned how to ride a skim board. He wanted me to just leave him at his Aunt's house, so he could skim and boogie board after school...all year long! Too funny! But so true...Matthew was dead serious!




More family time at weddings and receptions! Cousins Cousins Cousins!!

We were really excited to be a part of Little Allyson's baptism! She looked so pretty in her white dress! Also so thrilled to be there for Mark and Ginger's sealing. It was a great and beautiful day!




My niece Alison looked so beautiful too! My nephew Ryan is the one with his bride on the left and Alison my niece, his sister....is the one on the right. We had to leave the night before her wedding, so I copied these pics from her! We were so sad to have missed her special day.


August was such a busy month...and most of these things happened all within like 2 weeks of each other! I feel so blessed to share these special times with my family. So excited to keep adding to our extended family as well! So fun to meet the new nieces and nephews!!

You took some great pictures! What beautiful family members you have! Loved the pic of Nathan in his sunglasses, the one of Blake with MY shoe, and all the temple pictures! You are very blessed!

Between your weddings and Hawaii trip, I think you have connected with every member of your extended family. I'm glad you were able to make all those trips work out. It was fun to see pics of everything I've heard about. :)
