So, to finish off my Utah trip I have to post about a party that happened after the Grand Canyon but before the wedding! I was so excited for Cherie to be married. I have loved everyday of the 7 years of my marriage and I couldn't wait for her to be just as happy in her marriage. So, to celebrate her marriage my sisters and I threw this beautiful bride...

A BRIDAL SHOWER!


We had quite the party! With lots of games and presents. Now I took lots of pictures of the presents but, I will not show them here. I believe the above picture hints sufficiently at the nature of many of the presents :)!Two of Mark's family were able to come--His sister Jill and his Mom.
The Bride and Tiffany
My cousin Dana and Cherie.My sister Elise and Shellie (with her baby Christina). We were so happy Elise could come. She wasn't feeling well that day, but the party wouldn't have been the same without her.Angela and Christina (they are both so cute!)
Angela, my cousin Kim and KaylaWe had so much fun! So where were all of the kids while the girls were all partying?
Playing with their favorite Uncle David. Olivia loved David. She had so many nicknames for him the whole time we were with him. She wanted to spend every minute with Uncle David. She still asks "When do we get to play with Uncle David again?"

They also got to play in Papa Giboney's bounce house

And play mostly naked in the back yard!

That about sums up our Utah trip! Between camping, the bridal shower, and the wedding it was a very busy two weeks. We did, however, get to squeeze in a couple hours to see some of my favorite people!This is one of my very best friends Ashley. She just had a new baby and she still let me come and see her! Not only did she let me come and see her, she made me my favorite type of birthday cake and gave me a present!She knew that I didn't have much of a birthday so she gave me one! She is so sweet and I love her so much. Her husband Spencer is amazing as well. We just love their family so much and I was so glad that we were able to see them. I just wish we had been able to spend more time with them!
And now back to life. Back to preparing for the bar, and back to New Mexico!
