Marc & Kari Wedding Part 1

May 2, 2015

It's Wedding Day!

We've all been waiting for this to happen for a very long time and wow!  What a beautiful day it was for all of us but obviously Marc and Kari more...

Love these two together!

Cute couple and so in love.

Rio was excited to hug the new bride and see her "beautiful dress."

Little Blake was such a good boy in the scorching heat in St. George but he did awesome and was very smiley.

One of the best things about this day was to see all the cousins that have moved away.  YAH!

*Brinlee, Logan, Rio, Hayden, Jax, Ethan and Austin* (missing a few cuties but a darling pic)



Our little fam - love these kids of ours so much.

Doesn't Rio look darling?  Love her little maxi skirt and side pony :)



The little entourage of girls following the bride and holding her gorgeous train.

Cutie girls with their Aunt Kari

Just hanging out waiting for pics to be done - these guys honestly were troopers waiting in the hot sun.

*Tyler, Jax, Blake, Brinlee and Rio*

Marc and Austin with Logan hanging on too while the bride had her moment.  Man, do they love Uncle Marc!

Now, the girls with Marc - so sweet!

Tyler was so sweet playing with Blake.

And that sweetness with the boys quickly turned into wrestling as it always does when boys play :)

All the Morris sibs - so cute!



I had to take these cute pics of Blake because he was so funny playing with the grass.  He kept smooshing his face into the grass and then looking up surprised.

Cutie kids - they all just love each other so much and have a blast being together!

*Austin, Tyler, Jax, Logan, Rio and Blake*

"Just the boys, they said."  But they really meant, just the "big" boys.

These were taken at the luncheon following the temple and pics.  Once again, they had a blast together and the luncheon was yummy and beautiful.  Sweet words spoken and love all around.

Part 2 coming up!

Oh no....poor Logan

Logan had been complaining about an "ouchy neck" for a day or so and then one morning, he woke up like this!

Would you believe these red welts and swollen neck is from strep?

That is crazy right?

Cannot believe that!  I was so worried that it was scarlet fever or something but come to find out, it is just called, "The Fever" and is linked to strep and causes these huge welts.  It looks awful doesn't it?  Poor little guy :(

He didn't act like it bothered him at all though other than his "ouchy neck" - cute little guy!

Fortunately, he got on antibiotics and it was gone in a day!

Whew!

VEGAS baby!

Annual Vegas Girls Trip 2015!

I look forward to this trip every year and just love these ladies that I go with.

Melissa and I ready for take off.

We added a few more friends in the back:

Melissa, me, Jenny and Alicia behind us and Chelle and Jenny behind them.

And then all of us!

On the right side front is Charmoin and Emilie, Taryn and Jen and Kelly and Kristi

Loving the pool time - that's all we do is lay out, enjoy the sun, go shopping at times and talk and talk.

Sounds perfect!

This year we stayed at Mandalay Bay and it was beautiful.  The pool was so pretty.

Loving us some Frozen Hot Chocolate @ Serendipity one night.

Love this friend of mine - Alicia is so incredibly kind, loving and always willing to give whatever she can to those around her.  She's such a blast!

These two are hilarious obviously as well.  Jen and Melissa - best company around!

Jenny, Charmoin and I trying to reenact some strange women wanting a "hair blowing/flower" pic - yes, we're nerds but we are always laughing!

Enjoying the gardens at Mandalay Bay but honestly we had more fun just taking pics together.

The next day, we went shopping, to lunch and to a movie so naturally, we took a limo to get there.

Taryn, Emilie and Chelle

It was Kelly's bday while we were there so of course we had to celebrate her - she is an amazing friend, mommy and woman. 

So fun after our shopping trip to just walk around and enjoy warm nights and fun friends.

*Jen, Melissa, me, Charmoin, Jenny, Alicia, Jenny and Kelly*

Mmm..looks delicious!

Enjoying our pool days together.  Such a beautiful day - we were so lucky to have great weather for a few days.

Finally a pic with all 12 of us - every year we go, there is usually about 5 -8 girls that go but this year, we had 12!  So, so fun!

*Emilie, Jen, Kristi, Taryn, Chelle, Jenny, me, Jenny, Kelly, Meliss, Alicia & our party planner Charmoin*

Everyone but Kel in this one.

Yep, this is what it looks like every day - about 12 cords coming out of a strip outlet - haha - too many girls and too little plugs!

Charmoin and Kelly

More pics in the limo...

...we honestly have so much fun together!

Who is ready to shop???

What a great trip with the best of friends.  I love these ladies so much and couldn't ask for better friends.  I feel so happy around them and so grateful to have all of them in my life!
