Brody and Amber's Wedding

My little brother was married on Thursday.  It was such a wonderful day.  We started out the morning at the temple with a luncheon at Coppermill after.  That night the reception was at Amber's grandparents, complete with ColdStone Ice Cream.  Yum!  We are delighted to finally have "Amberger" as a part of our family and wish them the best of luck!

Brooke and Cole

Pretty Girl.  Everyone commented to me on how happy and good she was being.  She is ALWAYS that way though.  She loves to talk to people and rarely cries.

Pretty Brooke.  I made my girls' dresses and Cole's tie to match.

Handsome boy.  He looked like such a stud.

Brody's best friend Ty.  My kids adore him.

Matt and I.  I think about the first picture we have of us since our wedding.  Sad I know.

eating Cold Stone.  I bribed him to smile for pictures.

Her first icecream of many for the night.

Cousins Chris and Kelsey and Sister Blair

Decorating the car.  Amber told us nothing "dirty".  We tried not to be too mean :)

He was so worn out, he finally just crashed.

The bride and groom

Brookelyn absolutely loves Amber. She started calling her "Amberger" when they started dating and it has just stuck. She always wants to follow her and play with her when she is around.

Cutting the cake

Awwww...

She finally crashed too.

First Cookie

I let Bailee have her first cookie on May 31st.  She was a mess but thought it was SOOO good.

4 Little Monkeys

When I went to download pictures from Blair's camera from the wedding, I found some older ones that she forgot to send to me.  So, these are outdated but here they are.

These 4 monkeys have so much fun when we get together.  Bentlee and Brooke remind me so much of Annie and I as kids... scary thought :)  They are crazy kids!

Ragnar Relay

I ran last weekend in the Wastch Back Ragnar Relay with a team from Matt's work.  For those who don't know, it is a relay running race that goes from Logan to Park City, along the back of the Wasatch Mountain Range.  192 miles, 12 people on a team, and 2 vans. 

I was very nervous because I didn't know a single person on my team, but we had a blast!  I loved getting to put names to faces and get to know the people Matt interacts with on a daily basis.  No wonder he loves his job.  Matt couldn't run with his broken leg so he drove our van. 

I ran leg 9 and was pretty pleased with all my runs.  First one was 3.5 miles and short and sweet.  I think I ran that one in 22 minutes.  The second one was 10 miles in the middle of the night (literally, I finished at 3 am!)  The run itself was awesome, it was mostly on a dirt trail with NO lights except the one on my head so I was scared I was gonna fall and break my ankle, but I survived and actually enjoyed my first run of over 6 miles since I hurt my foot last month.  The last one was the first half of the Ragnar hill and they aren't kidding when people tell you there is no way to comprehend the slope of difficulty of it.  It totally kicked my butt!  I came home EXTREMELY tired (duh! who wouldn't be with no sleep!) but feeling great overall. 

We finished in 29 hours 11 minutes for a team average of 9:09/mile.  My average was about a minute under that.  Not bad for a bunch of rookies!  Next up Vegas... then, an ULTRA TEAM next year!  Any one want to sponsor us?  Hahaha!

Team Enchilda Style at the finish line.  Yes my husband works for Cafe Rio... hence the sombreros and fake moustaches.

Girl's Night

My cousin Annie and I are having girl's night at my house this month.  Next Tuesday - the 7th @ 7:00.  We will be doing free pedicures and facials and glitter toes for $3.  Lots of treats and friends.  All Mary Kay products will be 10% off.  Let me know if you are interested in coming!

Mother's Day

Brooke had a Mother's Day progam at preschool this week.  Very cute.  Maybe we should have put her in dance instead of soccer :)

She says... "I love my mom because she lets me get in the tub."  Which is funny because I rarely let her get in the tub.  I hate cleaning it everytime so I usually make them shower.

More video coming soon...

Getting Big

My baby is starting to sit up all by herself and is going to be crawling before I know it.  So sad!  I'm not ready for a mobile baby.  Why can't they stay tiny forever?


Cute little plumber butt :)

Still really tipsy, but definetly starting to sit on her own.

Video coming soon...

Big Brother

Occassionally Cole will decide he wants to hold Bailee and she generally loves it.  Most of the time he just torments her.

Bangs

Apparently Cole was not the only one needing attention last week.  Friday morning as I was on the treadmill (maybe I should just stop running?  My kids always seem to cause mayhem during this time)  Brooke came down to show me what she did.  I still don't know where she found scissors. 

At first I thought it was just a little piece and I told her not to cut anymore but then she started trying to hide it so I knew it was worse than I thought.  There was a whole chunk off the front/side of her long, pretty hair! 

I was more sad than mad and I don't think she'll do it again, but I guess all kids do it sometime.  I remember when Blair was about 2 or 3 and she cut her hair and my mom put her in her room and then went to her own room and cried.  It wasn't quite that dramatic :)

When I took her to Candice to fix it, she didn't say two words and when we left she said "mom, I don't want a boy haircut."  I really think she thought we butchered it all.  Once she saw it she was fine, but my daughter now has bangs... by her own choice.
