Anniversary, Birthday, Blessing, Reunion

Wow it has been a busy summer---
 and ya this all happened in a week + add in the fact that I had just packed up my house in 4 days and made a 12hour drive with a 2mo. old-- we definitely made some memories that's for sure.

First off was Dave's Parents 50th wedding anniversary-- 

For their anniversary they decided that they wanted for all of their kids to go through a temple session with them at the Idaho Falls temple where they work currently -{don't know what I'm talking about? click here to learn about temples} It was such an amazing experience, and so special-- I love being a part of this family.

After the temple they had their traditional chicken fry in the backyard-- it's such a big family and it was tons of fun catching up with everyone and getting to see grandma morris also, who might not be here too much longer.

For their anniversary me and Dave decided to take some pictures for them to give to them as a present, so after much begging and pretty much just springing it upon them we got them out to do it :) I tried to make it as least painful as possible :) Dave had a different idea though :)

We sure love them-- they're the best! We have missed working with them, and four wheeling and popcorn Sunday's :) 

Next we celebrated our sweet Brynley Girls 4th B-day---

It landed at such a busy time I felt bad that we couldn't do more- but we did buy her a sweet little cake that she LOVED!! and she's still at the age that I can pass off new underwear as a cool gift :) Sweet! 

Than we had the Jensen Reunion up at the cabin--

Before we left I had and I mean I had to get a sno-cone. They do not sell them in C.S. I think they are freakin crazy-- I love sno-cones- Blue raspberry, Red raspberry daiquiri is the best in the world! I had been craving one for a year :)

At the cabin we played and played and played and they threw me and my sister Dafne- who's expecting twins- ahhh :)-- a shower. It was lots of fun and Ellie got many many cute little outfits to wear.

After the reunion we gave Ellieana a name and a blessing---

After we had gotten an offer on our house I knew I'd run outta time to make Ellie's blessing dress so I woke up one morning at 3 {I was just a bit restless}and sewed and sewed and sewed until that dang dress was done :)

Dave gave her a name and a blessing in his parents ward and than afterwards we had a luncheon at their house-- it was great to be able to have so much family and close friends able to attend-- I laughed as I put Ellie in her car seat with all that fluff though- she didn't know how much she enjoyed that-- :) but she did do amazing during the blessing and my grandfather said that it was a very special experience, she had looked up at Dave the whole time.

Sadly though after all that fun and excitement I had to say goodbye to Dave as he drove home to work and thus began my life in this slightly less colorful world  :) me being melodramatic-- no never :) nevertheless it was such a busy fun week and surprisingly still life/summer has yet to really slow down-- I'm in desperate need of a good long rest, maybe when school starts finally-- well that's what I'm hoping for anyways.
