Our California Trip

Last weekend we went to CA for a family reunion on my dad's side of the family. It was so much fun to see all of my extended family that I haven't seen in years. Bud also got the chance to finally meet my siblings who all live in Utah. We had a blast going to the pool, playing with my nieces and nephew and playing games. My sister, mom and sister-in-law also threw me a bridal shower which turned out amazing. All the guys went golfing while we partied and then we all got back together to chat and get to know each other. It was a great trip and we can't wait to go back this weekend!

Sassy and Sweet!
The Bridal Shower
Here are some pictures from the shower. It was SO much fun thank you to my sister Shelley for all of the planning and decorating. To my sister-in-law Karlie for the beautiful flowers and my mom for the awesome food. I love you girls SO much!

My sister thought that it would be a hoot to have me wear this sassy get-up during the shower





Bud's mom Dianna and her twin sister Donna...I sure love these ladies they are so fun!


Yep...it's a pregnancy test

These next two pictures are of gifts that came from Bud's grandma Bennett. She is notorious for really fun gifts and after you see the next couple pictures you'll know what I mean. She took the "Sassy & Sweet" theme literally. ;)

Yes...this is a bra made out of candy necklaces. How funny is that!



Here is a picture of all the ladies who came. Thank you SO much it was a really fun party.



I have to give it to my mom... the food was AWESOME... and everyone got STUFFED!

My best friend Stephanie flew in from San Fransisco for the party. We've been friends since she was 11 and I was 13. It was so fun to haver her there. Love you Steph!


My cousin's (who are sisters) Joyce and Alli


My soon to be sister-in-law Kristalyn and her daughter Aurora

Bud's grandma Packard


THIS is the grandma responsible for the amazing eatable bra!


and THIS was Bud's reaction when we made HIM open up the gift for the second time! Does he looked thrilled or WHAT?

Only 13 days left until the big day!

Buddy... The GAMER!

Saturday night Bud taught us how to play phases. It was really fun and my siblings got to know what a gamer Bud truly is. They also found out that he is a card countin' cheat. ;) Just kidding...he's just good...But don't accidentally flash him your cards or he WILL remember what he saw

Practicing for the big day!

My sister is an awesome hair dresser and so while we were in California we tried practicing hairstyles for the big day. She was a little nervous because she hadn't done it in a long time but I think she did great! Bud's sister Jackie is also a hair dresser and she is actually going to do my hair for the wedding day since Shelley will be busy getting her own girls ready but I needed to figure out what style I wanted first. Shelley IS however going to be my make-up artist and I know that between these two I'm going to look amazing!!

Here is a teaser for the wedding...my niece Emberly is modeling the dress that the little girls will all be wearing on the big day. There are going to be about 10 of them running around like this. SO cute!
