Larin and Jessica got married on Saturday in the Rexburg temple. It was a beautiful wedding and we are so happy for them. The kids looked adorable in their white dresses and tuxes and Jessica looked gorgeous in her wedding dress. They make such a cute family, it was freezing cold for the pictures outside the temple but the girls were pretty good sports considering they were in short sleeve dresses. Jessica wanted to make the wedding all about the whole family not just her and Larin and she did a great job of it. I think the kids loved being so dressed up. They also let the kids each pick out a cake to have served at the wedding. I think that was the kids favorite part, they were very proud of their cakes. Larin and Jessica had gotten some pictures taken the week before and they decorated the tables with them, they turned out really cute.

It was a very bitter sweet day and we are very excited for Larin and Jessica, they deserve each other and all the happiness life has to offer them. We love Jessica and are so greatful for her and how happy she has made my brother.

-Happy New Year-

First things first, I'm sure everyone already guessed it but Heather my sister is expecting and I'm very excited for her! I think Heather wanted to keep it a secret a little longer but Matt and the kids are too excited!

Every New Years we go to my Aunt Laurie and Uncle Darrels New Years party. We have lots of yummy food, play games and usually watch a movie. Poor Zach had to work at midnight on the 31st so he came right from work, he was so tired but he made it all the way to midnight. I didn't get many pictures but we had fun and it was a great way to start off the New Year. The highlights of the night were Tiffany showing the guys funny online videos of someone we know getting tasered at police academy, I know there're awful huh! Morgan, Hanna and Mattie made up theie own game of throwing the pieces of a game up in the air.

I've always thought they looked a lot a like but my Aunt Laurie pointed out that they even sat the same way and held their arms the same way.
