The Wedding

The Saturday of the wedding, as luck would have it, brought the worst weather of the week. It was cold, windy, and rainy. BUT, it didn't seem to affect Annie and McKay at all. They had a beautiful wedding, despite the weather.

{I forgot my camera battery the day of the wedding, so these pics are swiped from my SIL Meg's facebook page!}

Luckily the rain stopped for a few minutes so we could get a few pictures. It was windy though!


They were married in the Draper Temple


The newlyweds!

When the reception rolled around, the rain really started to pick up. That's Annie and McKay running to the tent that was set up outside.


Meg, Justin, Sarah, and Stafford

All in all it was a beautiful day. As Annie and McKay were leaving the reception the rain stopped and the sun broke through the clouds. We all thought it was an omen for the rest of their lives :) Congratulations to the new Coppins family!!

Utah

Last week we drove up to Utah for Annie and McKay's wedding.  We decided to go up for the entire week so we could visit with some friends also.  We had so much fun and definitely miss living close by! Here's a few pictures...


We ate at Cafe Rio...lots!



Saw Tod and Lauren (don't they look like a cute little family?)



Jeff and Chelsie graciously let us crash at their house for the week.  They're awesome!



We walked around BYU campus and got some chocolate covered cinnamon bears--YUM!


And snacked on some bread (remember this B?)


Parker showed off his standing skills!


We had lunch with our friends, the Rasbands.  We met them in State College and miss them so much!  Jared just finished law school and is studying for the bar (good luck!)


I love Jackie!  This is her cute little girl Gabby.


While in Provo, we got to see Kristin and Adam's new house!  It is so cute, I can't wait to go stay with them :)

More to come on the actual wedding...

Party!

A couple Saturdays ago, we hosted a little shindig to celebrate Parker turning ONE! We had the party at a local park with family and a few friends.


Here's our buddy Jack checking out the food.


My mom and I made some birthday party hat cake pops a la Bakerella.


Parker themed cupcakes. Thanks Uncle Drew for creating the toppers!


Amanda and Addelyn, mi madre, Judy and Solveig


Parker demanding his cake.


He was already a pro cake eater from his actual birthday and dug right in!


Still digging...


I think he likes it!


He did some serious damage.


He lucked out in the present department. He loved his Cookie Monster from Addelyn.


From Mom and Dad


The biggest hit was the fire truck from Howard and Judy. Addelyn (who's already walking) kindly offered Parker a ride.


They were so cute!


Thank you everyone who celebrated with us!

First Haircut

The day of the Man's birthday party, we FINALLY took him to get a haircut.   I didn't realize how badly he needed one until I saw the finished product.  Wow.  He did such a great job and held really still until the end when the stylist used the electric clippers--he thought that tickled. Of course we documented with lots of pictures...

Before


Doesn't he look cute in that cape?





He took the whole thing very seriously


Not liking the clippers


He loves his new 'do!


After!
