Four weddings and a funeral

The last year has been full of family (and friendly) events.  Here's a picture timeline (which can also be used to reference the evolution of Amanda's waistline after having a baby).

Nov 2011
One month after having baby #4 my youngest sister got married:

the happy couple

My sibs, and yes, we're weird

 my cute little family
Right after this picture my three year old threw up all over the steps.  
That's why she's not smiling.


Dec 2011
Six weeks after my sister's wedding, my brother got married:

"I do!"

Newlyweds front and center, siblings surrounding

my cute little family again, still not smiling though no longer sick


Mar 2012
Three months after that wedding, my other brother got married:

 "Cheese!"

 Aren't we cute?!

And here's my family all dressed up.  
The kids are finally smiling, but I look like one tired mommy!
Maybe because the baby screamed so hard she vomited the entire two hour car trip...


Apr 2012
And one month after my last sibling was married off, one of my roommates from college got married:

This was a little mini vacation and reunion all rolled into one because I got to go out of state completely childless (WOW!) and see several friends from BYU, as well as my sister-in-law and her family that I hadn't seen for almost three years.  So fun!


May 2012
In May our beautiful Gran Marie passed away.  I am so grateful for her strong testimony and example.  And for the Savior she loved that made eternal life as families possible.  

XOXOXOXO

  1. Yay for finally posting!!! I've been checking all summer so now that you've started you better keep it up! The chest of drawers look awesome and I love that Addison put the mirror up so high =P As with the awkwardness, we're all pretty awkward in this family so I can't say I can help you. The paper is pretty drastic if you have it where people can see. Maybe stash it in your pocket and reread it when you have to use the bathroom or something?
