Chris & Shalom's Wedding Day

Here are a few pictures from Chris & Shalom's wedding day April 7, 2009. They got married at the Columbia River Temple in Washington. It was wonderful to share this day with them and we are excited for their new journey together.

The Best Western

Jacob & Brent

Joshua & Ashley ready for swimming!

We LOVE staying in hotels! We love the continental breakfast and the fresh, clean towels and sheets every day. I also thoroughly enjoyed the King-sized bed. After a week of Hannah's feet in my back, it was nice to have some space. Brent was a little disappointed, however, that he couldn't find me even though we were in the same bed! Best of all is the swimming. The kids had a great time swimming with cousins and with Aunt Lisa.

Lunch at The Cedars

I had a surprise at lunch when everyone sang to me and I got spoiled with a cake. The kids could hardly stand it and wanted to eat a cupcake SO badly! Check out Hannah and Ashley eying the cake! Thank you to everyone for helping me have a special birthday!

The day before the wedding we had lunch at The Cedars with the Fielding family. The Cedars is right off the Columbia River. The food was delicious and the company was even better! That night we took the kids to Monsters vs. Aliens.

In-Between Activities

Aunt Lisa was kind enough to entertain the children one morning by painting their fingernails & toenails. Even Joshua wanted in on the action. The kids were all thrilled and loved showing off their nails to anyone who would look. Thanks Lisa!

We went to the river one afternoon and fed the birds. The kids went through one loaf in less than 3 minutes and then Uncle Chris came to the rescue with more bread. Ashley enjoyed a little snack while we were there.

The Easter Bunny visits the Fieldings

Ready and waiting!

The Fielding family did an Easter Egg hunt for the kids. They have a fun yard with lots of good places to hide eggs and the kids all had a great time. Thank you Fielding Family!

Visiting Bozeman

We were able to do a photo shoot with our good friend, Sabine, while we were in Bozeman. She is very talented and we felt very spoiled to have this opportunity. Thank you, Sabine, for taking some amazing pictures of my kids! (more to come...)

We were at our friend, McKenna's house, and Hannah fell in LOVE with their dress-up box. They even had this Spiderman costume. I couldn't believe that Hannah wanted to wear it since it wasn't a pretty princess dress. This girl is all about pretty. Needless to say, it didn't stay on very long.

One of Jack's favorite things to do is dump out his ball basket and wear it around on his head.

Jack and Jacob had a great time catching up with each other. Jack has grown and changed drastically in the past three months. He is walking and talking and reminds me a lot of how Hannah was at that age. We spent an entire week visiting with our friends in Bozeman. We had 2 to 3 play dates per day and were thoroughly exhausted after all was said and done. We were all very relieved to see Daddy by the end of the week. Thank you to the Enslinger's for putting us up and for putting up with us. Thank you to all of our Bozeman friends for letting us come and see you. We miss you all!

Happy Birthday to ME!
