Update: Granduation, Wedding and more. . .

(WARNING: PICTURE OVERLOAD)
A month ago, before the move to Puerto Rico, Nick's little brother, Randy, Graduated from ASU and got married!
Nick and I got to play with his niece, Sara, during the ceremony. Isn't she a cutie?
Two days later my parents watched the boys while we went to the wedding. Here is what the boys did part of the time we were gone (see below). They made a garden with construction paper and suckers. They put on a puppet show with the other suckers they made.
Randy and Meghan were married in the Arizona Temple. They were both so cute and happy!
Here is all of Nick's family that was able to attend.
Here is our family at the reception. We told the boys that if they smiled they could have some wedding cake. Next time we will be more specific on what is appropriate (Owen).
Here is Nick's immediate family. We were really excited to have Alison travel from Texas. The boys were sad that she wasn't able to bring the rest of her kids (and husband)!
I went to a wedding reception a week earlier with my parents and there was a chocolate fountain. Apparently, my Dad didn't hear that my mom and I were headed to get some treats and we got separated. He thought we had gone to the car without him and so he headed that way then came back when we weren't there. It was a joke the rest of the night that we ditched him for the chocolate fountain. They finally made it to one together!

My parents helped with the boys during the reception and then took them home early to put them to bed so Nick and I could stay and to help out.
Brett and Meredith Lee, some of our good friends from Thunderbird, used to be in Meghan's ward and they came to the reception! It was great to see them, and our boys had a great time playing with their girls! (Isn't the crayon table a great idea at a reception?)
Jaren loved drinking out of a real cup for the first time. Goofy boy!
The groomsmen having fun!
We sure love Meghan and are super happy to have her in our family now!
We threw petals as they were leaving.
Their friends shoved newspaper in there car. What a mess!
Joan and Haley took a much needed chocolate break after the night was over!
The next night we went to my aunt Kelli's to have a Family Night complete with a BBQ.
Nick and Jaren
Kelli gave the lessons about temples. Within about 10 seconds of taking this picture, the kids were bouncing off the walls.
I got some cuddle time with my little bothers little girl, Ella. She is such a sweetie!
All the Winward girls!
Joan, Lisa, me, Angela, Alison (holding Sara), and Haley.
Lisa was showing the boys some of her pictures from Africa. I think their favorite was the giraffe that Lisa got to feed through her window!
Our little family (Jaren was taking a nap). Not sure why Corbin is showing us his tummy.
