Mattie-pants and Caitlin tie the Gordian knot!

 My baby brother Matt was married to the most delightful girl last month.  We are ecstatic to welcome Caitlin to the family, and now all four kids are sealed in the temple!  It was a perfect day!!

 Here we are outside the Newport Beach Temple.  Matt liked it the best because it's pink.  ; )

 So far there are 9 grandkids in our family, and every single one of them loves their new Aunt Caitlin.  She's so much fun to be around!!
 (It's like they belong on the cover of an Ensign.)


The reception was French inspired, and the decorating was gorgeous.
Matt and Caitlin getting accustomed to toting around a passel of kids!

Caitlin's in her element, but Matt's wearing his crazy-eyes.  ; )

Darcy made them this wedding cake, it turned out BEAUTIFUL!!  I was very impressed, as I told her over and over while standing in the kitchen watching her and idly eating leftover cake pieces.

And then there was dancing!!
Lots and lots of dancing! Here's Brielle with Christian's boys, Tyson and Austin.

Brielle and my cousin Ella (Ken and Julie's little girl) danced for hours!  They were unstoppable.  But my camera battery was dying, and couldn't handle anymore pictures in the dim lighting, so you'll have to imagine it.
And then Matt and Caitlin hugged us all goodbye and whisked off to their Mexican Cruise honeymoon.

Smart like Mommy


When my 1 year old started counting "one, two, three..." I was pretty sure she was gifted, since I had never taught her that. Then the next day she paired it with, "Mom come here. Come here! One. Two. Three!"
It's all coming together now. =0)
