I just wanted to let everyone know that Kari and David got married this past weekend on the 29th of August. It was a beautiful wedding. They got married at the Salt Lake temple around 10:00. After we had a luncheon at Gardner Village and later on the reception there as well. James and I as well as the rest of our family is so excited and happy for Kari and David. Here are some pictures of their happy day....
I have A LOT more but didn't want to over do it. But if you'd like to see more please let me know. I will also be posting more about this past weekend on our blog. feel free to come and take a look.

It is Great to be Eight

Since the reunion is only every two years I was thinking we could use this blog to keep everyone up to date with the things happening in our families. So here is something that was exciting in our family. Tiara turned 8 the week of the reunion and the next weekend she was baptised in Salem, Oregon.

Tiara and James on the big day.

Thanks to the Earl family for all their hard work. Great spot, great food, great family, great time!!!!!!
We really enjoyed being with everyone and catching up on what is happening in everyone's lives. We will always remember what fun we had at the reunion.

Kudos to Aunt Kathryn for actually getting my parents to sit in the bobsled. :) Dad really got into it...then couldnt get out. :p

This is one of my favorite pictures...although I think Preston was a little annoyed that I took it.
