A wedding and a hike...

On Friday, March 13th, my older brother Sam was married in the Salk Lake temple to a really cute and wonderful girl, Holly. It was fun to be with all my family and share this special day with Sam and Holly. Holly looked beautiful and my older brother looked as sharp as I've seen him in a while!


It was a special day for us all. I think we were all feeling many emotions the whole day. I think bittersweet is a good word to describe how I was feeling that day. This was the first time we had all been in the temple since my dad died last June. I truly believe that we could all feel him there in the sealing room with us. It was a great testament to me in knowing that families really are forever, especially as Sam and Holly started their eternal family that day. We all missed my dad a lot that day and wished he could have been there in person, but we all knew that he was there and that he is proud of my brother and his choice to be married and sealed in the temple. I know I am very proud of my brother and I am always looking up to him. He is a great example to us all! Thanks Sam and good luck with your marriage!!

Below is a picture of all my brothers and sisters and my mom. I love this picture! We truly are an eternal family and I love knowing that!

Mckenna was a sport and lasted throughout the entire, long day of wedding events. She only took about a 20 min nap in Chris' arms and was still wide awake into the evening. She looked really cute in her new dress for the wedding. She was full of energy the whole day! Can't complain too much when she has smiles like this at the end of the day!!

Overall it was a great weekend. We got to stay with Chris' sister Nicole and that was fun too. We don't get to see her too much. Mckenna had a lot of fun being with her Auntie Nicole again! Thanks again Nicole!!

So this Monday started my spring break from school! Yay! I wanted to do something fun with Chris that day since he works pretty much every day and Monday he had the day off. We decided to go hiking. The weather has been so nice and it was a perfect day to be outside. Mckenna loved it too. Stephen, Chris' brother, came with us too. We had a great time. Here are some pictures from our hike to "Fat Man's Misery."
