"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

My Cousin's Wedding

My cousin Monika got married last weekend to a really nice guy named Chris! I was so excited to be able to go to Utah and be to her wedding. We needed to get out of the house and have a break away from the phone, TV, doorbell, school, work, laundry etc.. And it was such a fun break. The kids had fun in the Hotel and I had fun relaxing and spending time with my family. Monika and Chris were married in the Logan Temple but their reception was in Provo so it was a rush to be everywhere we needed to be that day. My girls and baby boy were very worn out after the day was all over with. They even had blisters on their heels to prove it :( And their dresses...well I don't think they could have been dirtier. Here are some fun pictures from our weekend.

Hotel Fun Swimming


My baby boy has acid reflux really bad, (you wouldn't know it from his weight LOL!!) so the car ride in his car seat all day was not good for him, he was a mess and needed a bath every chance he could get. Our one Hotel we stayed in did not have a bath tub grrrrr!!! So I used the sink. Look at this chubby baby in the sink it was too funny I had to get a picture.



Sleeping in Hotels has always been an adventure, well now with four kids it is even more of an adventure. But I must say my kids slept great, it could have been because we stayed up till almost 1:00 every night and they were completely exhausted. My baby slept in his car seat and slept for 8 hours it was wonderful. And the girls all shared a bed and snuggled next to each other and slept and slept :)




My brother took us to this yummy Chinese restaurant, I can't remember the name but it was wonderful. We had chicken lettuce wraps that were delicious.

Grandpa Fullmer
My kids outside of the temple. The girls wanted to know why they couldn't come in and watch Monika get married, it took a lot of explaining.

Look at those two purple dots in the doorways :)


My brother Nick and his wife Janell. They just built a house by me and they are expecting a baby girl in June. This will be their fourth girl and only one boy in that mix!! I sure do love these guys and it has been fun having them live by me, the kids have lots of fun together, and Nick invites me over for dinner, he is a really good cook.

Two of my three brothers...Nick and Jesse...always picking on each other!!


Mom and Baby Jaxon
And finally they came out!!! Look how cute they are together.



The reception...Monika and my girls. They love Monika so much it was fun for them to be able to be there on Monika's wedding day and see her all dressed up like a princess.


The dance...Kenna watched and watched as they danced and then as soon as they were done she went running up to Monika and had to give her the biggest hug, it was so cute.


On our drive home we went the long way and drove around to Bear Lake and then to Palisades where my Grandma lives. We stopped and visited my Grandma and we saw these elk on the way and the girls were so excited to see so many elk all at once. It was a nice drive and fun to spend time together. I can't wait for the next weekend getaway :)

Jaxon bathing in the sink is So cute. What a chubbers. That's what we called our chubby babies. They are just so cute when they've got some rolls on them.
