A Fairytale Wedding

Katie wanted a Fairytale Wedding and that is what she got. It was so beautiful. Beautiful day, beautiful bride, beautiful groom, beautiful temple sealing, so many things to be celebrating.

Her dress was amazing. So perfect for Katie. All the little girls were loving her "princess" dress!

Aren't these two adorable, if I do say so myself, and I do.

Grammy Huish made her dress. It was so amazing and perfect for my little girl. She also made my dress, but did I get any pictures of it, no I was too busy chasing kids to pass my camera to someone else. The only reason I got it out for these shots was to entertain my kids that were getting a bit restless.

11 of the 19 Moon Grandchildren. Cousins are so fun, loud, crazy, wild.....you get the picture.

Here is one of me. Having fun in the car, waiting, taking pictures of myself. I should have tried to set the timer and get a full length picture of myself with my dress, but I still don't know how to set the timer (pathetic, I know.) Maybe someday I will learn. Sigh.

Anyway, just wanted to share what kept us so busy this last week. A truly amazing day celebrated a truly amazing couple. Congratulations Katie and Drew!

(I just proof read my post and realized I say amazing quite a bit. You'll just have to deal with it, I'm too tired to rewrite. )

Reporting Week 8

So this last week was my last week. It was a CRAZY week and far from perfect. I did not get all my exercise in and I had an extra treat. Anyway, I've made it, lost some weight, feel like I have accomplished something and am glad I'm done for awhile. I have some ideas for a few things I want to incorporate into my life when it comes to eating and exercise. I go back and forth between thinking I have to be really strict with myself and feeling like I don't want to put too many restrictions on myself. I feel like this next little bit will find me trying to be good without the restrictions. My hope is I will make the good choice without feeling deprived of what else is out there. It hasn't worked great for me in the past, so we will see how it works for me now. Maybe I'll share again. This is NOT my favorite thing to talk about on this blog, but thanks for letting me use this outlet to keep me on track. I was far from perfect, but there were many times that I wanted to cheat and didn't or didn't want to get up to exercise and did because I knew that I would have to report it here. So, here is to a bright future with lots of fruits, vegetables, and exercise.

Camping

The Coolest Kid On The Block

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. I love this guy!!

Reporting Week 7

I'm late reporting again. We went camping this last weekend. Actually, this whole last week was a little crazy with the end of school, Jakob's Birthday, a camping trip, and Father's Day!! Wow! I tried to count calories, but it was so hard when we were camping. I tried to make healthy choices with what we were eating and portion control. Tracking all this this last month has taught me how hard it is to eat right when my schedule is off. It has been good for me to be mindful of things because even when I'm not sure what is in my food or how much I'm eating, I'm making better choices then I would have made and eating less then I would have ate.

I'm looking forward to NOT counting calories anymore. I was going to take a few days off and start up again but now I think I want to start something that doesn't require me to count calories. I've done it for awhile now and I'm getting a good idea of how much I should be eating. We will see what I come up with. One week left.

Jakob's Favorite Things

Here is a mini book I made for Jakob for this last birthday. Its such a fun way to showcase something in his life. This book focuses on his favorite things right now. I love having this documented because I know 6 months from now all the answers to these questions will be different. Its a way to freeze time and always remember the little things that make up who we are.

Scrapbook Page

Here is the only scrapbook layout we did at the retreat. I decided to put some photos of Jakob and Karter together on this page. I just want to add the title "Brothers" and add some journaling.
