It Pays To Save

When Steven was 11, I received some gift certificates from Nordstom. I have been saving them ever since so I could use them on a very special item!

I figured Steven's wedding was worth it. I searched and searched for just the right pair of shoes. I bought 2 pair. One red, which I love and I wore, and one metallic. The metallic ones did not feel good, I tried to wear them, but they just hurt. I had to return them even though I really liked how they looked. Yesterday, I saw these--------------->>>

I LOVE them!
I could not find them in my size anywhere!
I finally found them at Zappos.com
I have ordered them.

I think they are fabulous!
I love the jewels.

I still have money left over.

The Marriage!

I am publishing pictures of Steven & Heather's wedding since it looks like no one else is. Sorry, I do not have a picture of the b ride and groom as they were so surrounded by the pro photographer I thought I had better stay away! But, I do hope to get one. I mostly took pictures of family while waiting for the bride and groom to finish. And then got some at the lovely reception. This first picture is of Heather and Steven when they got engaged. All in all, the wedding day was very nice. It was so nice to be with family. The reception at the BYU Blue Room was beautiful . . all green and white ... I understand are Heather's favorite colors.

Here is Kylie who was searing a wonderful dress is sitting with Nana, Haley, Allysa, and Sophia. It was a very happy occasion.

Here are the happy parents of the groom. I've not seen either of them look more happy.



Here is Haley with her Dad, Don. Very nice.



Handsome boys, they get better every year, with their Bumpa.




Julie is with the Mother of the Bride, Claire Mustard and youngest child.




Here is Nana with beloved grandaughters: Haley and Allysa.





Father of the Groom is sitting with his brother's family; Angie, Dave, Britney, and Nate. Very Handsome.





Beloved Sisters. Julie and Tatia





Julie with her Dad. Beautiful pic.





Dad with 3 lovely daughters. Candice drove up in her car with baby Teo, Tigger, and Tanner. It was a hard trip. Tanner was a good help but Teo cried anyway. I've not seen a baby more loved than that little guy. Sorry, I did not get a good picture of the boys, though they were at the reception.



Here I am with my Son and three daughters. Daughter no. 1 hadn't arrived yet!


There is Dawney!! She finally arrived with Jessica and Morgan in tow!




Tatia was busy butterflying around. She happened so see me begin to take a picture of Don with Cmp and baby Teo. She quickly burrowed herself into the picture. Very funny to me.!



The tables were large and square and had settings for 12. Here, our children, all under 12 wanted to sit together. They had a good time. All in all, it was a beautiful day for everyone. We wish Steven and Heather all the sunshine and JOY of a wonderful marriage.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETHANY!!

Today is Bethany's birthday! She is 29. Here she is with Mike who is, I think, in Afghanistan. This pic was taken at Thanksgiving. We love you, Bethany. You seem to be wonderful with kids. You take care of your baby so lovingly. You keep him so clean. He and Mike are No. 1 in your life. I wish you were here so we could take you to lunch. I don't have your address so cannot send you a card. But please know how much we all love you and wish you were with us while Mike is away. We send our love to you and Hayden.
