So here is a compilation of pictures from my brother and sister's cameras which turned out a heck of a lot better than ours. They're not in chronological order (oops) but you'll get the general idea. How things really went was on Thursday morning Jason graduated from TBS, then that evening they got married in the DC temple, and then the next evening was the reception.
Anne at the reception.
My pretty sisters Jennifer and Michelle (I helped pick out her wedding dress ;).
The bride and Mom.
The proud parents.
The girls. (They're colors were pink, purple and black which turned out really cool)
Jason's family is very musically gifted and actually has their own band that would perform all the time and we got to hear them at the reception! They were awesome! Michelle, Loren and I got to help out a little which was a blast. I sang "When you say nothing at all" because it's one of those songs that reminds me of Michelle.
Pretty self-explanatory. :)
At the reception I was able to see one of my best buds from high school Shara! It was great to catch up and remenisc over high school lacrosse days. I miss that cool girl! :)
It was way past Anne's bedtime.
Gordon (my little brother) busting a move.
Michelle and Jason also bustin a move.
Gordon keeping himself entertained.
These were my favorite. They are such pretty birds!
I like that Anne is making her kissy face lips in this one :)
She was mezmorized by the peacocks.
These birds just reminded me of a married couple. The one of the left was just pecking the heck out of the one on the right....helpful cleaning or nagging...hmmm? :)
Anne liked saying hello to the birds through her imaginary telephone.
Zac and I bought a Starving Student card to help the scouts out in our ward and it's been a great way to think of things to do and places to eat. They had a buy one get one free bowling so we decided to take Anne for her first time. She was a pro. She loooooved the bowling balls.
Withe the cold weather comes cute winter clothes. Anne picked out the hat herself.
And some cute non-winter clothes from Gabbie :)
So Anne has entered a new phase in her life called movement. Our once immobile and content child is now all over the place...and we're thrilled! She's starting to explore with her crawling and loves to stand and walk with us or whatever she can pull up on. We're so proud of our little one! Here she is sporting her first pair of sneakers.
Zac had his birthday this last week...Happy Birthday Honey! His boss let him have most of the day off so we had a fun filled Birthday day starting with muffins and omelets and then to the shooting range. I took him to shoot his first automatic weapon and he was thrilled! It was an mp5....a machine gun that was a lot of fun to shoot. Anne didn't actually shoot...or go in the room where the shooting was (it was too loud) but she did sport the cool safetywear.
We watched in another room that had TV's.
The happy birthday boy.
Don't mess with this Mama.
On the way home from shooting we saw this park with the biggest flock of ducks I have ever seen. Among them were some of the biggest ducks I have ever seen. Anne helped me feed them bread that these nice people gave us there.
And to finish things up I took Zac to a new restaurant where we live called "Pirate Island" which was awesome! Really cool decorations, pirate waiters, strobe lights and pirate songs, balloon animals, arcade, allright food, decent prices...yeah we had a good time.
Anne's spontaneous presents for Dad. So cute. She just reached over and did this.
The balloon man made her a pupy which lasted until the car-ride home....then it got a leak from too much lovin.
The other day we took her to see some puppies. At first she was little shy and giggly but then petted them lovingly.
