reception photos...

the reception was on the hottest day of the year!! but i think it turned out absolutely amazing. in fact i love it more every time i look at the pictures.
the photos capture a few moments, and hopefully give a little taste of the reception. our little puppy got to come for some photo opts! and i think all the little girls ended up looking like little tinkerbells! it was amazing and being married continues to be just as wonderful.

Sean's thoughts

I could not let mom comments go with out a little commentary most of which probably does not need to be said. I believe that the mom and dad now have 9 kids. The love, pride, affection and honor they have taken over the kitchen rivals that of their favorite child (and we all know who that is). I will also say the the pain, problems and cost has also been that of a child. The end result as with all their children was pretty good, if I do say so. As for the furniture in the house yes everything is getting older at 3248 Mary Ln. In the words of Forest Gump "and that is all I have to say about that".
I cannot wait to see everyone in August, it was so nice of Shani to schedule a 2nd reunion in the same year. I am afraid that she might not go on her honeymoon for fear of missing something more fun that we might all be doing. Shani I promise you that you will have more fun.
I could not go without saying a big thank you to Trev for all the hard work that he put into the family picture.

PS you can now poop with out smelling it 2 minutes later at mom and dads...Adam helped install new leach lines, and dad almost got buried alive in pooh dirt (ask him).

I can't figure out how to put comments next to the pics, but I guess they are all pretty self explanatory, you can call if you have questions, or even if you don't and would just like to chat!! Yes we do have a new coffee table, its yellow and I love it too. Nana thought it was totally superfluous since we had that perfectly good one that was a cast off from some SunLakes person living or dead, I'm not quite sure. I however thought that perhaps at the age of 60 I was mature enough to have my very own brand new (even though it looks old, another source of disbelief to my mother) coffee table for the first time in 35 years. Call me selfish, but I love it ( the table, not being called selfish) The bench in the entry way is also new. I bought it at Roberts in Provo, well actually American Fork, carted it home, in the house and to the back yard BY MYSELF!! and then refinsihed it, once more to look old, yes there is a theme going on here and yes I am possibly a bit nuts. The plan is that people (insert your father's name here) will take off their shoes and deposit them in the baskets under the bench and thus save wear and tear on the newly refinished floors. We all know there isn't a chance in heaven or hell of that happening, but then hope springs eternal and all that. Anyway here are the pics you have all been asking for. I am babysitting Jessa this weekend and she has been napping for way too long for her so I had better go and check on her. I know however that she cannot possibly be crying because if she was Abby would be right here next to me whining up a storm because I was not caring for her baby in a timely manner!! Love you all, Mom

Okay, with KC's tremendous help I finally figured out how to get these pics up on the blog spot, Thanks KC!! Anyway I hope you love the pictures as much as we love the kitchen. Dad has done a tremendous job.

More kitchens stuff and Jessa

I hope I am able to successfully get these pictures on the site, I am not sure that this is going to work. The kitchen is so close to being completed that we can almost smell it!!

shani's mattress

so here is the most exciting part of my new york adventure so far....the inside of my mattress. i figure it's either left over from nazi concentration camps or perhaps louie-louie (my subletter) was training to be a samurai warrior. any suggestions? trevor calls it my phone book. christy says "there is hard and then there is your mattress."
