WeDDiNG DaY!

There are so many things I need to post about but so little time. This is one post I can't let go by. Mimi and Robb are now officially Mr. and Mrs. Robb Jones. Megan did an amazing job planning the wedding. She pretty much did it herself and asked very little of us.

The day started with me meeting her at the salon to get our hair done and her make up done. I raced back to pick up the boys from Alan's sister's house where we dressed the boys in their adorable outfits. I then drove to the freeway to get O to fall asleep for a minute or two. That did not work. I was so nervous he would be a grumpy and tired baby. We got to Market Street and Alan took the boys while O and I went into see the bride. She looked GORGEOUS!!!!! O sat on the counter and put lipstick on and combed his hair while Megan waited patiently to walk down the aisle.
We had one rehearsal and only one broken vase. All the boys were on best behavior after that. Alan and I walked down the aisle together and all the other siblings did with their spouses. My Mom walked down with the boys and M walked down with my only niece Ash holding a sign that said "Here Comes the Bride". My Dad walked Megan down the aisle and it was perfect. The weather was awesome and the vows were wonderful. I am so happy to have them married!

The luncheon was right after but we sent the boys home with Alan's Mom. I must admit, they were better than I expected!
Alan spoke and did a wonderful job but the best part of the luncheon happened at the end of his toast. Alan said they would cut the cake but one of their friends named "Roe" said "Oh no you don't!" and jumped into the cake! Hah Hah! Jokes on you. They had planned it. Megan and Robb were in on it. (I knew about it too, otherwise I would have tackled him). Roe brought the cake and set it up because he has always wanted to jump in a wedding cake. Megan and Robb let his dreams come true! It was hilarious! Everyone left with cupcakes instead.
The reception was up at The Point. It was classic, basic, and beautiful. We had pictures and the reception started. The dancing was AWESOME! All the little boys broke it down! I think my parents were in heaven!
We decorated their car but that turned into a disaster with the rain, getting lost in the parking garage, and then the elevators were closed down. We missed the bride and groom leaving the reception (but we had the keys). They got lost in the building and we had their keys. Eventually we found them and off they went.
We got home around 11:00 and we were exhausted. The boys hit the sack and so did we.

It was a wonderful day. We loved it. Congrats Robb and Megs. We love you and are happy your day was so wonderful!

Bacheloret Party!

On May 15th, I went with my sisters and Mom to Sego Lily Day Spa. We got pedicures and relaxed for a while. After, we went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner where Alicia and Mer (Robb's mom and Sister we waiting and had saved us a table!). After a wonderful dinner, we headed into the mall for some last minute wedding needs. Only to have them shut the doors on us because the Mall was closing. Then we went to Yogurt Stop for some yummy yogurt. Finally we ended at Chelsea's where we talked most of the time but then played Let's Dance on the Wii. It was hilarious and a fabulous workout. I am so happy we took time as girls before the wedding to celebrate Megan getting married! I am so happy for her. Thanks Gals!

Sunshine, Girlfriends, Shopping, Food, and Fun.

The last weekend in April I went with some of my girlfriends (Bree Strong, Ashli Storheim, Mer Hopkin, and Sara Hopkin) to Scottsdale. It was so fun and VERY needed. I felt rejuvenated when I came home. The weather was perfect and the shopping was ridiculous! I am so grateful for such good friends. They made me laugh soooooooo hard. We were having so much fun that I took a total of five pictures! Two of Sushi. Thanks ladies! I will never forget the MANY things you taught me while on our trip.
