End of Summer Party er I mean wedding!

What a wonderful way to end our summer, going to Cyndi and Renato's wedding!  It truly was a mini family reunion and we enjoyed ourselves so much!  Here are some photos of the event.

Here as they were about to come out of the temple we got the BE QUIET sign.  (something we are familiar with :)

Julie was smart and brought a few snacks

two new nephews

I said, "Smile"  and BOTH children obeyed

switching seats with cousins on the ride home was a highlight!

Visit to Seaside

Our first trip to Seaside will not be our last!!! Other than the un-summer like weather(which can be expected) and an episode with Darren's back, we had a wonderful trip! I posted only a small portion of the photos we took. Riley, our niece was visiting from Utah so we decided going to the coast was a must. We were hooked up with a nice place to stay--Matt and Beth's connection, and we went to the beach, aquarium, Maritime museum(in Astoria) swimming, candy shop, and rode the carousel. We also saw sea lions and drove to Washington State to see Cape disappointment --which ended up being a disappointment of a trip :)

This first photo is of Natalie watching Snow White for the first time! I wish I would have gotten video of her giggling as she watched the dancing scene. She found a new liking for Snow White after actually watching this show.

There is NOTHING like the beach!!!!! It does look freezing but really that afternoon it was warm enough to have just your suit on--at least for a few hours, and then home for hot cocoa.

Ok these next two photos I love because in the first Taylor has just thrown a sand clod at Hannah (Hannah is trying to block it) and then in the second Hannah has taken off after Taylor.

This video was from June when we got together at Katelyns baptism. It was just funny so I told them I would post this.

The summer started(i know awhile ago) and this is how we started it. We went to OMSI with cousins and gma and gpa. We have since been with the Krebs and friends the Hazeltons, however the camera was not brought so this is what I have from our visits. We love this place and we aren't that far away.

New baby in the family-extended family!

We were so excited to host the cousins as Aunt Beth went to the hospital to have the baby.

The following photos are when the kids found out that she had a boy-we didn't know what the sex of the baby would be. After we found out, they took the packing paper and made it into "confetti" Everyone was so excited-- everyone except one little girl. See if you can find her in the following photos. When asked why she was sad she said, because the boys(Carter/Hayden) always tease and hit me. We tried to console her and tell her that she would be bigger than this brother and things would be different. She has since fallen in love with cute baby Gannon.
