2 weddings and a move

I am SLOWLY recovering from July... Tyson and I got here on the 1st or 2nd (kind of foggy on exact details) and then Greg arrived the NEXT DAY-- he drove, we flew, and he almost beat us! Do you think he was ready to be done with school?!?! Anyway, I will spare you the sweaty, dirty details, of unloading the truck, and just say that with the help of Lacey (my sis) and Jeff (Greg's brother), we got unloaded and settled in just 2 1/2 days. If Scott had been here I am sure it would have taken just 1/2 the time---oh well, at least we got his help loading the truck--Thanks again!

On the 3rd day at our new home, my family arrived to get ready for the "double trouble" weddings. We took off for the weekend for a quick 4th of July get-a-way at Bear Lake (our summer hangout)... It was nice to be forced into relaxation, if only for a couple days. Once home we got back to finalizing things for the weddingS.

The weddings were wonderful.... That is all I can say. It was lots of fun to be a part of the duel celebration (that kept on going, and going, and going. Tyson and I just got home a few days ago from the LAST reception in Lafayette, CA. We are done traveling--until next week when we go BACK to CA for Court's homecoming..... YIKES! When will summer be over!).

Here are a few pictures from the past 6 week. Skipping the move, and beginning with the Bear Lake vacation.

Tyson and his best cuz Kaden riding a “4-willer” at Bear Lake. Notice the large protruding mass blocking his eyesight—that would be from his kamikaze ride down the CEMENT basement stairs a few days after we got here. Yes, it was Greg who was “watching” him.

Another shot of the HUGE forehead

Happy 4th of July!

Tyson and Kaden hanging out in Grammies special pool. She fills the pool with warm water for these little boys. Aren't they lucky?? (PS--I don't think she ever did that for us)

Amidst all of the craziness at our house, Daddy decided that it was time for the Pacifier Fairy to visit. So, much to my dismay, she did. It took Tyson a week of sadness to get over the loss of his little buddies.

Tyson wandering in our backyard. Isn't it pretty?

Wedding Pictures

Lacey and Jeff got married on Tuesday, in Timpanogos, and Faith and Shaun got married the next day in Salt Lake. Each couple had a luncheon on their wedding day, and then we had a joint reception on Wednesday night, after Faith and Shaun's luncheon.

A quick shot of my mom on the morning of Lacey's wedding. Did I mention she went to the emergency room two nights before the first wedding with TWO kidney stones! Greg's sister, who is an angel and an ER nurse, rescued us by hooking her up to an IV the entire day before the wedding. We finally flushed out one of the stones, but due to LOTS of pain and nausea medicine, my mom was kind of a ZOMBIE at the first wedding, and still part-zombie the next day.

Greg and Tyson on "Pink Day"--Lacey's wedding day.

Tyson kickin' it in Grammie's wheel chair... She was so EMBARRASSED to use this!

Lacey with the kids-- Madison and Kaden (Leticia's kids), and of course, Tyson.
A quick little family photo at Lacey's wedding. Tyson, like his father, loves the warmth of my "neck". Any woman who is holding him, soon discovers this. He is such a boy!

Faith and Shaun Garff (with a tired little boy, "Ty-sooon", as they so lovingly refer to him)

I made Tyler take this picture of us. Greg and I got married in the Salt Lake Temple and our photographer, like every other photographer, stuck us up in this cavity for a picture. I thought it fitting to get an updated family picture. (PS-Tyler has NO interest in photography, so we were VERY lucky to get his one and only shot.)

The brand new Rich family, at Faith's luncheon

Zach and our FAVORITE sister-in-law, Jenny

As mentioned before, we had a reception in Utah and then two more in CA that followed. Due to my responsibilities as sister to two brides, I did not take pictures at those 3 events. They were fun, though, so I will try to get my hands on a few pictures, just to make sure I hold the World Record for longest post. (I feel like I am playing Settlers of Catan, and I already have the "Longest Road" bonus points, but just to ensure that I keep it, I am going to build a few more roads... That is what I will be doing when I add to this post.)
