Things have been a little crazy again, and I haven't even had a minute to sit down to the computer, thus my slacker blogging as of late! On May 28th was Jackson's 6th birthday and we took some great pictures of all of the kids at the park. I still don't know how we managed to get them all on the slide at the same time and happy too!
On May 30th our dear friend Abby was married to Mike... They each have five children and so this beautiful family's first purchase was a 12 seater van!! We are so happy for them and wish them nothing but the very best...
Abby asked me to do the flowers for the wedding...I am definitely not a florist and I was a little bit worried about how it would all turn out! I know I could never have done it without the help of my sweet sister Lisa and it would have been impossible without the help of my sister in law, Sharon and her wonderful friend Deb. They dropped everything they were doing and helped us from 6pm until midnight! Thank You Thank You!!! The next morning we all met at the church and worked all day putting together the flower arrangements and bouquets. Kathy, Keri, Jan, Sherry, Diane, Lisa and I had a great time working together and helping to make the reception beautiful. It was a great memory and I am so grateful for the wonderful friends that fill my life with such great examples of selfless service and love.
Mike and Abby and their 10 children!!!
Congratulations Abby! We love you!!!
The next day my cute nephew Ethan was baptized. It was so great that they were able to do it here instead of Utah because then Grami and Grampa were able to be there. It turned out wonderful and was a special day for everyone. Ethan said this right after the baptism...
" Mom, I just feel so clean. It feels good!"
Ethan loves his Grami Colleen and Grampa Jack
Tonight was Taylor's Kidshine performance... Taylor loves to sing more than anything!!!
She was absolutely adorable and even had a solo. The songs were oldies... and I hate to admit it but I knew every word!! I especially loved the song Taylor sang for her solo... "Close To You"... It was my very favorite song when I was a teenager... Taylor is a superstar!!!!!

I had so much fun doing the flowers with you and learning a lot! It was nice to spend the time with
the ladies and helping Abby. I'm glad the day turned
out so well for her. I know she loved it. Can't wait to
hear about her cruise, then it's back to the real world
for Mike, Abby and those adorable TEN children!!

Thank you so much for posting your beautiful pictures of Abby's wedding! The flowers were absolutely gorgeous, and so were all the other decorations. You guys are amazing! She will be dearly missed in our ward, but I know she will have to come back to visit. She is such an example of grace, faith, strength, and friendship. :)
