Nathan and Emily

Emily and Nathan's wedding day was just beautiful.

All of our family were able to be there. It was so fun to have everyone together.

David, Sharon, Stacy and Nicole came out from Utah to be with us.

Here is the whole group

Between the wedding and reception we took alittle time for family pictures. We haven't all been together since 2005 and there have been a few additions

These are our darling grandchildren.

.Saramarie did a beautiful job on the wedding cake

The cake was delicious

This is a fun German tradition. The bride and groom cut a heart out of a sheet with dull scissors. It was just a wonderful day.

Called to Serve

We have just received our call to serve in the El Salvador San Salvador East Mission. We have been called to work in the El Salvador Perpetual Education Fund Country Office. We will enter the MTC in Provo on June 6. We are so excited and looking forward to this opportunity to serve.

Thanks Cricut Goo Roos!

So we are crafting, all on our own. I got a Cricut for Christmas and I figured out how to make shapes and use downloaded fonts ad it has unleashed Rachel! She finds an idea and we pick colors and paper, she sands and sometimes paints and I cricut! ( It's an adjective I just made up) Then we mod podge and we have a holiday craft. I think Laurie would be proud to see us crafting on our own... We just made this lucky sign with a sparkle clover.

A couple of weeks ago we made this True Love Sign. Seriously loving this Cricut and the Sure Cuts a Lot Program and the Inkscape studio (it's free) then I can make all my own shapes! Amber and Debbie and Sharon really helped so much with all oof the advice on a Cricut! I love it! We even made potato shapes and a cow for Acacia's school poster and little shapes for Zander's Valentine box!

Ottley Family Christmas Party

Rich and I got to be at the Ottley Christmas Party this year and it was wonderful. It was so good to see everyone there. The kids are growing up so fast. We counted 77 people there out of about 112. Wow!!! We missed all who were not there. Thanks so much to Don and Jana for hosting the evening. It was just so much fun.

This is a video of pictures we took throughout the evening. Some of the pictures are a little fuzzy but we sure had a good time.
