Whirlwind Wedding Weekend!

 I rode with Kris and Michelle on March 12th to Sammamish, Washington for Jase and Briana's wedding. 

 On March 13th Kim and Brad held a prewedding dinner at their house. It was beautiful and amazing! Jase and Briana were so excited and I was so glad to be there with them!

 The Andersons as always are so welcoming to all of us as we take over the house.

 Jase and Briana were married in the Seattle Temple on March 14th. It was a beautiful day and a wonderful experience!

 As always the kids had fun!

 New inlaws for Jase...

 It was overcast, but rain did not get in the way of some amazing pictures!

 Before the reception we had some good food and funny experiences when Briana did not have any clothes at the reception center. Luckily one of her bridesmaids had sweats for her to wear.

 The reception center was beautiful and a lot of fun!

 Even Franco came to the reception!

And of course we decorated the car. We decorated the wrong car first and then had to move all the decorations over. It was a great wedding and celebration of two amazing people! Congrats Jase and Briana!

Dad's 70th Birthday

 I enjoyed a week long celebration with my dad who turned 70 on February 18th!

 On his actual birthday Kelly, Mom, and I took him to dinner at Los Hermanos followed by a surprise at home of family members with cake and a new recliner that he quickly became comfortable in.

 On February 20th we threw a surprise party with family and friends. I got this cake with his picture as a baby made for the occasion. 

 The grandkids helped set up and watched out the window in great anticipation of Dad's arrival.

 Kris and Spencer took him to dinner and then brought him to the church for the big surprise!

 It was a great celebration with family and friends!

Happy Birthday Dad! 

I love you!

Briana and Jase

 I had the wonderful opportunity to go with Briana to receive her endowment at the Mount Timpanogos Temple on Friday, February 6, 2015.

She will be marrying Jase Warner next month and I could not be any happier for both of them!

Grandpa Bellows and the Great Depression

I had a chance to spend some time with Grandpa Bellows yesterday. At almost 91 he tells about his family during the Great Depression, and of course includes a joke! What an amazing man!

Six More Weeks of Winter!
