Somebody's getting married

Actually, somebody got married. My brother Chris married the beautiful Brittney. Blake didn't feel like he could ask for time off since he is a lowly intern so he got his mom to fly out here to babysit the kids so I could go by myself. It was such a nice thing for Karen to do--I wasn't worried at all (mostly) while I was gone for the weekend. I had mixed feelings about leaving my kids for three days but it went fine and when I came home they both still loved me. When I got James the first time the morning after I came home he just put his head down on my shoulder for like 10 minutes. I thought something like this was going through his head: "I don't know if I can trust her but she's back and I'm glad." I think I've earned his trust back already, though.

The day of the wedding we first took pictures at the Capitol.

All of the grandkids except Isaac and James. sad.

Then we attended the sealing in the Salt Lake Temple and gathered outside for some quick photos because it was pretty cold.

These next two are my favorites. They were really happy, even with a few mishaps during the day.

A donut stop before dinner. LOVE Banbury Cross.

At the wedding dinner we just had to do some goofy musical numbers. It's become a tradition. I think Brittney's family were pretty awed at our stage presence (aka not caring what anybody thought of our off-tune music accompanied with cheesy dance moves). Chris started if off right with a song dedicated to Brittney, Pops sang a love song, and then we took over with "A Pirate's Wife for me", "Those Bachelor Days (we used to know)", and "How does she know" from Enchanted. I guess you had to be there, but I had a great time.

As you can tell, I had way too much fun taking pictures of everything. I didn't have any kids or husband in tow, what else was I going to do? Congrats Chris and Britt, we're way excited for you!
