Sam and Lara's Wedding!

Dan's brother, Sam, got married last week to a wonderful girl who happens to share my name; Laura Jeanne/Lara Jean! Here are some of the highlights from the blessed day!

First toe painting of the season. I was pretty excited about the hot pink!

The happy couple!

The other happy couple... not really. Just Dan and his youngest bro Adam, who's on a mission. He was a cardboard stand-in. [Isn't my hubby hot? :) ]

ALL of Dan's immediate (and available) family

McKenna LOVED her pretty new dress for pictures at the reception. She was also very good at giving loves to her cousin Whitney (2 months younger).

With mom

With dad- Can you tell she's such a toddler now! Quite distracted and MUCH more opinionated about having to hold still. *Note: For some reason, she was terrified of Sam and Lara and SCREAMED in every picture she had to sit on their laps. Sorry guys.

On the other hand, she LOVED the fountain on the tenth floor of the JSMB.

She's mid sign, "water."



The best family shot of the night

Here's a little McKenna montage. We got some good ones because she loved looking out the windows! The flower in her hair was made by Dan's sister Sarah Jane!





Holding mommy's painful but super cute shoes! :)

The best one we could get with Grandfather

After a "dinner" of pie and cake, she caught her second wind and was quite cheerful.

"Helping"

Back to the couple of the day.

They were both very "nice" with the cake.


Their dance

The End (of the reception)

But just the beginning of Sam and Lara's eternal marriage! :) Love you guys!

Cupboard

This is McKenna's new favorite place to put and play with her toys. Yes, it's our pots and pans cupboard. Who knew this would keep her entertained for so long? :)

Basketball Game and Such

McKenna had another Daddy Daughter Date to the U of U vs BYU basketball game, compliments of Dan's Dad.
Dan said she really did have fun. She was just so upset with how POORLY the Utes played. :)

During half-time they walked around by the concessions to get some of Kenna's wiggles out, and to entertain passers-by, which she loved!!

(Note: This is Dan. Lest you be concerned, I'm not actually pregnant, nor have I gained that much weight. Apparently I have ridiculously bad posture while holding her. My bad.)

In other news, the weather was pretty nice last week, so we went on a walk with cousin Whitney and Aunt Sarah Jane.

And here's another cute, random picture from this month. Runny nose and all!

We also hung out with these guys while they were in town from Ohio.
Thanks Dave and Mindy! :) Here's the proof you were in Utah (though we have no proof that your baby made the trip)!

Discovery Gateway Children's Museum

With friend and neighbor Luke

She was mad she couldn't crawl up the slide. Too slippery.
Sharing!

She thought the water felt kind of weird


The cars were her favorite!
Yes, my daughter is a genius! Look what she built! ;)

Closet

Guess what? I organized our linen closet. Cool huh?
I know you were just dying to know about this!
Before
After
And I only got rid of one pillow.
It's amazing though how much more room we have. :)

Here's a couple pictures of Kenna snuggling with Dad.
The end.
