July With Family And Friends


So this post is way over due...we went to Utah for my sister's wedding in July but also spend time with family and friends. We basically had a family reunion with both of our side of our families and it was a BLAST.

For the Pioneer Day we spend it with my side of the family at Pinewood and then had game night.










We also spend time with Blake's side of the family, we all had a great time at the pool!








We especially enjoyed just hanging out with each other.




















Sometimes the thing that is so much fun is in your grandma's front yard.



Spending time with love ones is definitely the best.
 





















We were also able to witness my sister's NEWEST member joining her family...her hubby wedding gift to her...MAGGIE!!!!
We did have a hiccup on our trip...our sweet dog Bean ran away and was gone for 24 hours. We received a call from the kind person who found him in their parent's yard...He was scratched up and his paws were burned raw for the hot asphalt...he was definitely pitiful but we were so glad he was found and returned back to us!
We were able to show my friend Subie Salt Lake City and it's beauty.





































Spending time with family and friends is always REWARDING!

Summer Wedding

Finally the day that the whole family has been planning had arrived the marriage of our sister Tiffany to Steve. 




We drove down from Washington to Utah four day before the wedding because we were helping with the set up and we stayed with my mom...it was hectic but fun to be with family.  




There were some hiccups before the big day...everything we basically planned the day before the wedding, went astray...except for couple of things....we were late picking up my bestfriend Subie at the airport, I wanted us to be there when she came in the terminal to read the poster I made for her, but it didn't work...we arrived after but she loved her poster!
We whisked her off to eat some lunch at the park and then it was off to get some pampering.
We had a good time spending time with each and chatting away.


        





Then the hiccups started...my sister gets a call from the florist, wanted her to come down because some flowers weren't working together...and it turn out that the flowers were HORRIBLE...we had no choice but cancel all the flowers for the wedding...our grandma used to be a florist and she told us she'll will do it after the dress rehearsal...which we needed to decorate the hall first!!! Which turned out BEAUTIFUL!









 










So after the rehearsal, we went on a mad dash shopping for flowers. We went to so many places but finally got it all. She came through and made 1 bride bouquet, 4 bridesmaid's bouquets, 7 boutonnieres and 4 corsages. She ROCKED!!! 

We tried to have a bachorette party at my sister's place and this is what we got:
 Sad thing, we fuzzed out quickly and were felling asleep but my sister good friend had a GREAT TIME!!!

On the Big Day, there were many hiccups but at the end the wedding was beautiful...I was part of the wedding party so I could only get some photos before and after the ceremony. Here they are:
 
 
 
















Love you Sis, and bless you and your new family!
