A trip to the Phx Zoo!

We had a very successful Memorial Day weekend! We went to mesa the Friday and Saturday to spend time with some Johnson fam! We went to the Phx Zoo! I haven't been there in years and it was so much fun and it helped that the weather was perfect! I would have to say the prairie dogs were the most fun!

 We had fun at the petting zoo. Jeter wasn't crazy about petting the goats though, he wanted to slide down a bench that had curved sides...hm.

 Looking at the baby calfs....so cute when they're little!

 The giant tortoises. And I have to document the story, I guess right when we moved on the rest of our group stayed behind and got to see the zoo worker scratch the turtles neck and it raised itself up and stretched out its neck and it was quite a sight! And we missed it, bummer! Funny part was we heard the story three times I think, it must have been A-mazing!

 The three little boys (Jeter, Logan and Ryan) all fell asleep at the same time! Ryan is Nikki's (Kameron's cousin) little boy. She and her two kids came down from Utah for the weekend too! Very fun to see them!! Next time I need to take some pictures though, they are adorable little kids! There is a Tiger under the tree...very cool!

 Monday came and Kameron worked so he can get an extra day off for our Utah trip the end of June, so that afternoon we went out to the lower salt river, we must have went after the crowd because we were the only ones there! Grilled some hot dogs, went swimming, threw rocks in the water and caught a carp!

 Jeter didn't want to touch the fish, I don't blame him carp are gross! And below just a random picture of Jeter in some tires...Jeter has finally discovered climbing. A bittersweet, I don't have to help him off the couch anymore, but now there is more opportunity for falling! What's the saying? "Moms work from Son up to Son down!" Never a truer statement! But we love it!

May Pin Project!

I watch a little girl in our ward sometimes, her name is Victoria and she is a doll! Just this last time she and Jeter would play together and she has started following him around wherever he goes. When he wakes up from his naps and sees her he goes over and stands in front of her and she gets all excited, I even saw Jeter giving her a hug! Precious!

 Jeter loves going for walks so we just Had to squeeze into the stroller one day....They lasted longer then I thought, it was so cute!

So for my May DIY Pin Project I decided to take a break from recipes and try something crafty. I've been wanting to try my hand at wreath making for a while and had all the material at hand so this was a $0 project and it turned out soooo cute! You use coffee filters and dye them with whatever color you want. http://lovelycraftyhome.com/2012/01/30/the-coffee-filter-wreath/  this is the link to the tutorial. It really wasnt that hard just a little time consuming. Love it!

Just thought I would throw in this picture of Jeter sleeping on the couch...well half way sleeping on the couch. It's getting hotter and the poor little guy just couldn't fall asleep in his crib (even with fans) maybe he's just being picky...but I let him sleep on the couch and have two fans on him.

Yay for naps!

Tremily

Emily and Trent got married Friday, May 12, 2012! They got married in the Gila Valley Temple.

But first we had to do a bridal shower!

 Those Lemon Cupcakes made by Janel were so good I can't even say how many I ate!

 They had these adorable M&Ms with their pictures, names and "Tremily" nickname, so cute!!!

 Friends, Abby and Tara.

 Future mother in law Brenda

Someone gave Emily a gag gift of all these funny things and this gigantic pink panties were one of them. Too funny!!!

The next weekend was the weekend we've all been waiting for! It started out with a BBQ in my parents back yard with the immediate family. My dad made pit bbq ribs. They were so good it was amazing!! All of the food was so good and we had so much fun spending time with the Christensen family!

 Trent's sisters. Camille, Callie, and Lilly

 Max!

The next morning the Christensen's put on a breakfast for all the families. Once again the food was amazing! The homemade syrup was to die for!!

 The serving line. Their family is so large they are well supplied in helpers.

That afternoon the makeup and curling irons started flying! Hannah did Emily's hair and we all had so much fun getting ready. The men were like "why are you guys getting ready so early" and sure enough those last minutes before we left for the temple were close to chaos trying to get all the little boys dressed and everyone ready!

 The ceremony was wonderful of course! I was crying in the waiting room! Sheesh! But these two lovebirds were so happy it was so fun to see and they both clean up pretty darn well!

 Killian blowing bubbles!

 Adorable Paige! And the little boys looks sooo cute in their little ties!

 After the pictures at the temple we all came home and the happily married couple set off for Tucson. They are having a reception in June. Here I am video taping the farewell.

We love you Emily and Trent! We wish you all the happiness in the world!
