Whitney's Wedding

Here are a few of Whitney and Dion's wedding pictures...

Utah Jazz Game...

As a family we decided to do one last big thing before Whit got married and headed off for Australia. Ammon and I are the only ones who have been to a Jazz game, and Dion really wanted to go to a professional game while he was here so it was easily decided to attend a game. It was a ton of fun!

Salt Lake City...

Whitney, Dion and I decided to go and spend the day with his sister and family up in Salt Lake... We met them in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and from there we explored downtown Salt Lake....

At the end we went over to the conference center and got a tour of it. And of course I had to go and find a certain picture for Whit and Dion to get their picture taken by... (Right before Dion left on his mission the two of them had their picture taken together at the same picture... However they were not allowed to stand close by each other)...

Here are a few pictures taken from our big family outing to Nickel City... We really can't get enough of it!

Busy Weekend....

Dion's sister Honi, her husband and kids flew in from Australia to be here for the wedding. We have been super excited to meet some more members of his family...

On Saturday Whit went through the temple for the first time. I am grateful to have been able to go with her! It was such an amazing experience! One that will never be forgotten. Dion's sister and husband were able to be there for that as well.

On Sunday we had a bench full of people with us at church. Honi and her family came with us. After church we had a big turkey dinner and everyone over.

I am looking forward to getting to know Honi better and for the week to come!

Bachelorette Party!

After the failed attempt of a bridal shower we decided to only invite a few special people to Whit's bachelorette party. Of course most people wouldn't understand us anyway since my sisters are so off the wall with the ideas that they have... We invited a few of Whit's friends to join us, knowing that they are basically flaky and wouldn't show up (not that any of us cared if they did or not) we were going to have a blast anyway.

The plan was to go something like this: For some reason Whit has always wanted to get chased so she had a brilliant idea to borrow Ron's gorilla outfit. We were going to have Dion put it on and go chase her around... However in the end we decided against that. The other idea that didn't end up going was Walmart bingo. Cori was going to make cards up for us.... Like the other brilliant idea we ended up deciding not to do that either.

Instead we (with we being Cori, Keely, Priscilla, Dion and me) went to Pirate Island and had dinner. Kim was going to meet us there but ended up being sick and not making it down. Even though it was a bachelorette party we decided to let Dion join us so that he wouldn't be left alone for the night.

After Pirate Island we headed over to Nickel City! This place has become our new favorite place to go to! Here is the group having fun:

After using all of our money we decided to put all of our tickets together to see what we had come up with... Our grand total????

  

Once getting our little treasures we headed home for some ice cream cake! My family has come to LOVE the cakes from Baskin Robbins so I went and got one. I was planning on writing something clever on it... maybe something like Best of Luck Dion... or some other random thing but it was some guy that helped me and he didn't even ask if I wanted something written on it... Oh well :)
