Catch up....

A few weeks ago Russ's Uncle Steve passed away and we were able to go to his funeral. It was a sad day but I could really feel the love his family had for him. There was a wonderful service given that gave me a great glimpse into his life and what kind of man he was. It was unfortunate that I was never able to meet him but I was able to meet a lot of Russ's family that I have never had a chance to see since we've been married. So of course I took some pictures......










Then We went down to Phoenix for my brother's wedding and we have lots pictures from that week. It was probably the most stressful fast, crazy week of my life. It compares the the week of my own wedding! I just had tons of things to do. I never have a chance to relax when I go to Phoenix. Russ and I said we should go down there sometime and not tell a soul that we are coming so we have no obligations! haha! But yah, we did get to see lots of our friends and family while we were there so I can't complain. So I'll let the pictures some up what we did while we were there.

Russ and I rode Smokey! He's finally in the backyard! Russ has not rode a horse since he was young so it was funny to watch!

I, on the other hand, am a pro... =-)

For "girls night" before the wedding we went out and all pitched in to buy Bri a new swimming suit! She was going to Cali for her honeymoon and didn't have one! So this was our adventures in the dressing room.

We went to eat out at Mimi;s Cafe (Bri's choice)

And Lacey's shirt matched the table cloth...how embarrassing....

THE WEDDING

These were the only pictures I took with my point and shoot camera.

All the rest I shot with my SLR because I was their photographer!

But these were the pictures I got during the luncheon at Olive garden!

Bri changed out of her dress so she would not spill anything on her beautiful dress....

This is grandpa's "blackmail" picture

I could not have made it with out you mollie! i love you!

happy little parents

Russ didn't want to spill on his tux either.

Me and the man of the hour!

Me and the sisters.

This was the bill from the luncheon! HAHA!

ME AND ALLISON

Allison and I FINALLY got some decent bonding love time on Saturday

Devin watched little sam for us. It was so great! I never get to see much of allison

and when I get down to Phoenix I try to spend some time with her. We had lots of fun.

We tried to find matching shirts. As you can tell we were unsuccessful.

Then we went bowling. this is the only picture i took. sad i know. but we were taking lots of videos!

Sorry allison. haha.

We didn't find matching shirts but we did find matching socks!

Later on Saturday we went to a BBQ at the Stones house with all the siblings! It was so fun to

spend time with everyone! I don't get to see my sisters, their husbands, and their kids much.

So that is the phoenix trip all summed up! I want to leave you with a few videos that i think are hilarious. Little lana likes to sing and I caught it on video! She is singing Twinkle Twinkle Little star!

ok and one more because this one is soooo cute!
