Mr & Mrs Tony Jenkins

This last weekend was so much fun.....Thursday night we all went up to the mountains for our first and last cookout of the summer. The kids loved cooking hot dogs and roasting marshmallows over the fire & eating the biggest cheetos ever. I enjoyed eating the best smores I've ever had.....I still think about them. There is something about the mountains that is very peaceful & relaxing. It was beautiful but once that sun goes down it gets down right COLD!




Ellie enjoying one of those HUGE cheetos....







Luke really loved the fire....should I be worried??


Molly getting a face-full when Mom went for one of those HUGE cheetos......Our sweet baby Grace with Aunt Sarah.......

The Groom-to-Be......
On Friday we all headed to the Jordan River Temple to see Karen & Tony married. It was wonderful to see her so happy and witness the beautiful ceramony. I don't think I'll ever forget my sister's face as she leaned over the alter and grabbed Tony is the biggest bear hug ever. Karen's been through a lot the past couple years, and it's awesome to see her so full of joy. Tony is just fabulous and I can't wait to see what they can do together. Karen also made the most beautiful bride I think I've ever seen. It's not really fair that she is the whole package.....maybe in my next life I'll have that hair.

The blushing bride......


The happy couple......


A moment without the babies......


We clean up pretty good.......



Sarah & Richard are next....only a month until their big day!!

Saturday was Karen & Tony's "party". It was actually their reception, but they both wanted something casual and fun. Everyone came in their casual wear, wore lais, ate great food, chatted, and really had so much fun. Ben and I think it was the most fun we've had at a wedding reception ever.


Ben and Ellie enjoying the festivities......


Me and the kids - they actually held still for a moment......



Ellie keeping the sun out of her eyes......

Luke was given an entire can of Root Beer......he was in heaven!!!!

Ummmm, could your kids be any cuter? I haven't seen them in so long I just can't believe how big and how beautiful they are. Can I set Luke up with one of my twins in a few years? I love love love your sisters wedding dress, she has incredible taste. You have a beautiful family, I'm thinking about making your family picture my new screen saver. Let me know when you're ready for a play date.

Look at how much has gone on...When was the last time I saw you? Can you believe that my parents will be home in a few days...A year goes by so fast. I am thinking that is how long it has been since I saw you....We so need to get together. You look great and your kids of course are darling....Wish Karen the best, she looked beautiful...Please keep in touch-

Kenny and I stopped by Rightside today to see Erik and we asked about you. Erik mentioned that he thought you had a blog....so here I am. I can't believe how big Luke is and that you have 3 kids. Well, thank heaven's for blogs....it lets me catch up with everyone. Check out my blog when you get a chance it is not nearly as exciting as yours is (I can't believe how much the Woodman Clan is growing) but at least we can be blogging buddies. P.S. You look great for having baby 3 months ago!!
