What a great week!

Last week was so great. My sister Mandy got married. We spent most of the week with my family, even the extended ones. We rarely all get together, so it was really fun to see everyone and spend time with them. It was busy and we were all tired, so we didn't play all the games we usually do. But we still had a great time and the wedding went off without a hitch. Mandy was a beautiful bride. It was great to meet curt's family and get to see some of his friends too. I wished that we could have all stayed longer, but we sure had a great time while it lasted!

We all worked together to decorate and get everything ready. Abby was really into helping Myriah and I do the backdrop. She has a skunk stuffed animal that she wanted to add to the backdrop. His name is "Skunky the bear." (an homage to her main man smokey the bear) But she says it "tunkey the bear". It is pretty cute. Anyway, we have had skunky for 2 years and he was completely ignored, but now he is her fave. She was going to bring him along while being a flower girl, but he got left in the truck instead. But he went everywhere else with her.

The beautiful bride!
First kiss as husband and wife.
Stockton was the ring bearer and Abby was the flower girl. They did such a good job. Except the whole time during the ceremony abby kept bending down to pick up the flower petals she dropped and putting them back into her basket.

The happy couple forced to do a smoochy picture!
Rosebud was such a pretty place for the wedding.

The three sisters and our husbands. Amber and Andy, Curt and Mandy, and Jarad and Myriah.
I loved this picture. Both so cute and happy.
My three handsome men!
This is the whole Knowles clan. Most of them travelled all the way from Wyoming to be there!
Our new family pictures. They turned out pretty good for an on the fly idea.




This is my grandpa trying to make friends with abby. He tried the whole weekend. But she is still a little nervous around him. She did let him hold her skunk while she went "fishing."
We spend Sunday morning playing with my mom, sisters and brother-in-laws, and grandparents at Capitol Reef. The kids got sticks and pretended to fish in the creek. We saw some mommy and baby deers, and looked at petroglyphs. We had cake and sung happy birthday to andy. Maybe next time we will even try a hike!
