The story of my week

Blogger messed up the order of all my pictures, and I'm not about to attempt to rearrange them all (There are a lot!) And since my littlest baby is very sick (she even went to the hospital- another post) I didn't have time to edit them. BUT - I know myself and if I don't post soon, I wont post them. (kinda like my wonderful 4th of July - which I will have to go back and add because I want them in my blurb book someday) Anyway, here is some of our week all out of order and a little to dark :o)

Amber and Lucy in the Rainforest Cafe

Me and my 4 brothers - all good guys, good husbands and good dads (well Jeff will be someday :o)
Jeff and Talmadge (who stole Brooklynn's plug) This kid has no fear.

Thanks to the Lashmett's for driving all the way here from Oregon with three kids and staying with us. I love seeing the cousins together and having so much fun. Thanks to Karen for driving my Grandma here from Utah. Thanks to my Mom for organizing everything and funding most of it. Thanks to Amber for helping me cook all day Thursday and Friday, I couldn't have done it without you! Thanks to Wendy for keeping my baby at the wedding. Thanks to Donna and Karen for having an "afterparty" so it didn't have to be at my house. Thanks to my Mom for the cleaning service. Thanks to Scott for lunch and keeping the kids busy every day...they miss you very much! Thanks to Brian for putting up with my whole family for over a week. Thanks to everyone who came for the wedding, it was nice to be able to visit and get pictures.
