Pat his cheeks and Give him WHAT?



A GREAT BIG KISS... MUAH!
Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful MEN in my life (ok, that sounds kinda bad, but you get the picture, right?)



Just gotta brag about this MAN!

Sorry ladies, YES, he's taken. Without being asked, or even prompted... he enjoys a clean house too and will do whatever it takes to help out!
And the craziest part about Jason, is he actually 'WILLINGLY' and 'knowingly' wanted to MARRY Me!! Yeah, and not just for this life... but E-t-e-r-n-i-t-y!!!!! Crazy man!

I mean, seriously, what man is willing to dress up in 'towels' because his little daughter wants to play 'reinact' the nativity scene complete with dolls, in our living room after dinner?

So our washer decided to break down about a week ago (mucho props to those pioneers)... and one night I was looking for Jason and couldn't find him... and I spot this little spot of BLUE
oh! There he is! He's got to get in there and 'try' to 'check it out'. I asked him what he was doing, and he said, "just checking to see if I can figure it out". Ohh... with all the appliance repair experience he's had and all... haha! JUST LOVE IT! He makes me SMILE! :-)


I mean, come on? What's not to love! He wasn't wanting me to take this picture, but I DID! Such a BABE! No really, I wanted to tell him how amazingly DEDICATED and MOTIVATED he is! He has gone 3 weeks now without ANY sweets because he has a weight goal and he's 2 pounds away! He has been to the gym every morning at 5:30am. for months! :-) Super duper dedicated!
Happy Father's Day! Seriously, why does Gracie call me 'Daddy' all day long? I mean, is it because she WISHES I were really Jason... or is she gender confused? She used to say Momma, just fine. Now, it's only DADDY around here! I guess that's okay, he is a superb father who is absolutely ADORED around this house!

WEDDING # 6 !!! HOLY MOLEY!

Gracie and her cousin Jack! Those two love to wrestle, it's hilarious!
You are seeing correctly! haha!! This picture is awesome! Jenny finally broke out the goggles because our eyes were BURNING from cutting up all the onions! This was the MORNING OF the reception... we had a veggie cutting party! 
Everyone hard at work! The SIXTH wedding, man we SURE got this thing DOWN! Wouldn't it be nice sometimes to cook meals together... then you got ALL these awesome helpers to do all the dirty work! 
Granddad is in the back, Micah is popping his head out (cousin from california), Mike is 'watching us all work', Pam (aunt from california), Bonnie and Katelyn, Uncle Mike (sitting by mom, her oldest brother), and me with the knife... watch out!! 
Uncle Mike never had children, so it's CUTE to see him with Jade, and she liked him! 
Jen with Laura (Uncle Mike's friend/we want her to be more, but whatever), Pam (Uncle Mark's wife).
My Grandad, My Uncle Mark, and Mike (doing the crossword).  Mom's gonna hate me for putting this picture up, but I think she's ALWAYS cute!
Of course my camera battery died the night of the reception so I have NO PICTUREs of that... thanks to my sister HEather, she gave me all these Temple shots. -Outside at the Salt Lake Temple, the kids were anxiously awaiting the bride and groom!
Jade couldn't get enough of Tiffany (she was a princess)! All the girls loved to hold her dress and walked around together (so adorable). 
The ANDREWS CLAN!!  The WHOLE FAMILY!! Can you tell what her favorite flower is??
All the bridesmaids with the happy couple!!
Heather got a snap shot of us before the luncheon! The girls were SO tired and SO hungry and Gracie already ripped her bow out for the GAZILLIONTH time.
You can see Tiffany's dress in this picture... so pretty and unusual.  I loved it. 
I love this picture! Jade just couldn't get enough of Tiffany in her dress, and all of us in our dresses... it was a like a HUGE DAY OF DRESS-UPS and princesses! She was in HEAVEN! 


MIKE got HITCHED! That's right, my little bro got married! IT was a beautiful day, a very special sealing and fun times with the family.  I think I slept like 5 hours in about a week span though! We had too much fun talking until late with family from out of town, playing sequence, baking bread with Jen (and having a 'milkshake' talk with the bride to be)... ya'll can figure that one out! It was a GREAT WEEK and we are excited to add another SISTER to our family! Tiffany and Mike went on their honeymoon to San Diego and left for a 3 day cruise.  FUN!!
