Wedding

Matt's brother Rory got married last weekend.  They got married in the St. George temple in the middle of the day so you can imagine how HOT it was taking pictures outside afterward.  We were all drenched in sweat!  It was fun to see some of Matt's family though, and their wedding reception was so cute so I just wanted to post some pictures of it.  

I made their wedding cake for them.  It was really cute at first, then after sitting there for a couple hours it started to fall over... the heat, weight of the cake, and it being on a slight slant didn't help.  At least I got some good pictures of it before that, right?

Rory & Darci, the happy couple

"Grampy Peepers", ya gotta love him :)

Matt's sister Katie, on the right, and her family came up from Texas.  We got to hang out with them a few times during the week.  It was so fun to see all of them!

I told Matt to pose and this is what he came up with... 

May & June (& some of July)

May and June just flew by for us, I don't even know where they went!  I will try to give a quick recap of the events of those two months....

In May, Matt did his first Triathalon.  It was at Sand Hollow, down by St. George.  He did a mile swim,  26 mile bike ride, and 6 mile run.  I  just sat on the side and watched him go by a couple times because I am NOT that motivated!  Way to go Matt!

Then it was Matt's birthday so we had a bunch of friends over for a BBQ.

In June, we took a little trip down to New Mexico to visit Matt's family.  We hadn't been there for  about a year and a half so it was really fun and good to see all of them.

On our way back from New Mexico, we stopped at the Glen Canyon Dam at Lake Powell and took a tour.  It was pretty awesome, and so huge!

The rest of June kind of got away from me, so onto July... I quit my job and have been doing a couple of wedding cakes (take a look at my cake blog if you would like to see them) and we are getting ready to move!  Matt got a job in Tooele so we will be heading up there in August.  We're so sad to be leaving Southern Utah because we love it here, but we're also really excited about this new experience and opportunity.  We'll miss all of our family and friends here, but we'll be back to visit often :)

I'd better give an update on Russell too... he is full grown now and so sweet and cute.  His favorite thing to do is sleep on his blanket on the couch.  Oh how we love him!
