A Wedding = Family Time

As we continue to settle in our new house, life keeps us running. Last week, Benjamin's youngest brother, Jacob got married. Benjamin's sister(Melissa) and her baby(Josh) arrived from Iowa and his brother(Matthew) and his wife(Alisha) from South Carolina. The family all gathered on Wednesday for dinner and final preparations for the wedding. The blessed event happened on Thursday in the Manti temple. Their entire family was together in the temple for the first time, which was pretty cool. After the wedding and a few rounds of photos, there was the traditional stop in Ephraim at the Malt Shoppe. So yummy! Of course the rest of the day was filled with a luncheon, more photos, and reception. It was a wonderful day, we are so happpy for the newlyweds. Here are a few photos of the day.
The next couple of days were spent hanging out with family, eating, and chatting. Friday Palmers filled their dunk tank and the boys had a blast playing in the water and dunking each other. We enjoyed having Matthew and Alisha spend some time with us at our house on Saturday evening before they headed home.
Now with that past, we can focus on the rest of the boxes we need to empty and getting the kids ready to start school. Only 3 more weeks - has the summer really passed so quickly? Registration is Thursday, I can't wait!
