Missy's Wedding

Sorry that it has been so long since I posted anything. I was waiting to get pictures from the wedding. My digital camera broke the day before the wedding. I'm really sad. I don't like not having a camera. I hope that it won't be too long until we can buy one. Missy had me use her camera to take pictures of the wedding. Mike and Missy came back from their honeymoon yesterday and they stopped by my house on their way home. They let me download the pictures off of their camera before they left. I posted pictures of the wedding cake on my cake blog. Here is a link http://jenny-mycakes.blogspot.com/.

Alissa got to be a flower girl. She loved every minute of it! She felt so pretty and she was so excited that her dress had flowers on it. Aunt Kari did Alissa's hair really pretty.Parker and Alissa sitting on the stage with their cousins Damen and Kiara. They were waiting as patiently as they could for everything to get started. They all look so nice.
Aunt Kari is getting Brinley's hair ready for the wedding. Brinley didn't like it very much so she only got a few ringlets in. Brinley still looked very cute. Kari was very busy styling everyone's hair.

Shannon was the hairstylest for the bride.
My niece, Kaylie, is getting her hair styled by Kari also. Kaylie has really cute natural curls, so no curling iron was needed. Kaylie is also a flower girl.

My niece, Kendra, looks so cute in her dress. She kept posing for me. Kendra is my buddy. She gave me lots of hugs while we were at the wedding. She lives in St. George, so we don't see eachother often, but she still remembers me from the times I babysat her.
Brinley is so cute. Her cousins Elizabeth and Hannah helped keep an eye on her while we were getting everything ready. Brinley kept them really busy.
The happy couple right after they were pronounced husband and wife.
Alissa loved playing with her basket of peddles.


This is the cute way that Mike propossed to Missy. He runs marathons. Before he reached the end of the ogden marathon, he put this shirt on. Missy was very surprised.

The bride and groom with my family. Kelly didn't make it to the wedding and Linda wasn't there. Linda was in the hospital due to complications with a pregnancy. Missy and Mike went to visit Linda in the hospital before the reception started. Linda is the wedding planner in the family, so things get really difficult when she's not around to help.

If you don't like this Linda, let me know and I will remove it.The flower girls had a lot of fun throwing the peddles, picking them up, and throwing them again. Parker joined in for a little while.

The bride. She looks so beautiful.

All the single girls reaching to catch the bouquet

Alissa caught the bouquet. Her daddy yelled "No.....!" It was silly. Alissa was very excited about catching the bouquet.

I have not forgotten about my blog

I have just been really busy. I have been job hunting (not something I love). It has been a long time since I have had a job. I was not very happy about needing to find a job. I'm not job hunting anymore, because I found a job. I got hired at a daycare in Brigham City. It is called 'Little Brigham Aggies'. It is at the USU Extension. Also, I got accepted to USU, so I will be going to school there as well. I can take my kids to work with me! I'm so relieved to have found a job. Especially one that is so ideal for me. I'm not taking any classes until next semester. The kids will be comfortable there by that time, so if I ever need to I can leave the kids there while I go to my classes. With Roger working on the weekend, it will be pretty easy for me to make my schedule so the kids won't have to go to any daycare.

I don't start my new job until the 15th.

This week is going to be very busy for me. My sister, Missy, is getting married on the 12th. I'm going to be making the eclairs and her wedding cake. So I'm pretty sure I won't be posting anything this week. Next week is when I start my new job. I'm not sure what my schedule will be like. So I just don't know what life will be like with my new job. I will post something eventually though. So don't stop visiting my blog.

Missy's Bridal Shower

I told Missy that I wouldn't post any of the pictures that I took of her at her bridal shower, but I think the pictures are cute. I'm sorry Missy. I'm only posting the pictures that I think everyone looks good in. I don't want anyone to feel embarrassed. If anyone is upset about their pictures on here, just let me know and I will remove them as quickly as possible.

At my bridal shower (Missy hosted) we played a game where they asked Roger a bunch of questions about himself, then they ask me those questions and I'm suppossed to guess how Roger answered the questions. Everytime you get a question wrong, you have to put a piece of bubble gum in your mouth (the big square kind, not just a small piece). I didn't get any of them right. I had a ton of gum in my mouth. I could hardly talk. It was uncomfortable and not my favorite game. It's funny now, but when we played the game I wasn't very happy about it. I think I was just really embarrassed because I looked like a fool standing in front of everybody with my mouth too full of gum, barely able to talk, and not knowing the answers.

We played this game at Missy's bridal shower. Missy did a lot better than me. She was worried because I was the one thinking up the questions to ask her, soon to be husband, Mikal. I was nice, I asked a lot of questions that I thought she would know the answers to. She did a lot better than me at that game. She still ended up with quite a few pieces of gum in her mouth. When she got too much gum in her mouthy, Kari offered to put gum in her mouth when Missy got it wrong. Because Kari wanted some gum also. Where was Kari at my bridal shower! I really could have used the help! After the game Kari and Missy had a bubble blowing contest. For anyone that doesn't know, Kari and Missy are my sisters. Here are the pictures.

I think Missy won.

I took a few pictures of Jamie and Janae, but when I uploaded my pictures I noticed that all of the pictures I took were not on the camera any more. Janae and Jamie asked to look at my camera after I had taken their pictures. They were talking about deleting the ones they didn't like, but I thought they were joking. Did you guys delete you pictures or am I just forgetful. I really thought I took more pictures of you two. Janae and Jamie are my friends from highschool.

This is Jamie, Janae, and baby Regan.

I tried to fix this picture of Alissa and make it look really cool, but it didn't work out very well. I made the background behind Alissa all black (that worked well), but she had chocolate all around her mouth and I tried to fix it so you couldn't see it (I don't think that worked well). I took this picture while we were at the bridal shower. There is a lot of pink around her eyes, because she got make up for her birthday and she put a lot on so she would be pretty for the bridal shower. Here is a picture of Shannon with chocolate in her mouth. Shannon was Missy's best friend when they were younger. I ended up with a lot of pictures of Shannon. Shannon if you want me to take your pictures off of here, I will.
We played a game where you hold a paper over your head and draw a picture of what the bride will look like on her wedding day. That was a funny game. I had never heard of this game before, but I think it was my favorite.

Here's Jamie

Shannon again (she is making silly faces in most of the pictures). Your funny Shannon.

Scrapbook Pages From Alissa's Birthday

I don't have photo shop or anything like that. I was looking online and found three different programs that offer free trials. The free trial is 30 days. So I'm using the 30 day free trial. I'm doing as much scrapbooking as I can before my 30 days is up. I have 16 days left. After this I will try another program for 30 days. So a lot of my post will be scrapbooking pages.
Here are some more pages of Alissa's Birthday.

It's been a long time

It has been a long time since I've posted anything. I've just been a little moody and didn't feel like posting anything. I'm feeling normal and like myself again. So I will, hopefully, post a little more often. I've been working on some scrapbooking and decided to use that to update you on how we are doing.

Parker is finally potty trained!!!!!!! I thought it would never happen. He really did not want to use the toilet. We tried a lot of different things to get him excited about it, but nothing ever worked. I don't really know how we did it, but Parker finally decided that he wanted to be a big boy and use the toilet! I'm so happy!

Brinley is potty trainig also. I have not tried too hard with her, because I was so focused on getting Parker potty trained. Now I can work on getting Brinley potty trained. I think it will be a lot easier to convince Brinley that using the toilet is great. Here is a scrapbook page of Brinley potty training.

I didn't want to take Parker to church in his underpants, because I didn't want him to have an accident, so Alissa went to church with her friend. This page is of Alissa waiting for her ride to come and take her to church. She was looking so pretty and being so cute taking care of her little baby. She is a good little mommy.

This is Parker on that same morning, just playing with his ball. He didn't want me to take his picture, so he kept trying to move the ball in front of his face before I took the picture.

We went to Lagoon last week. it was a lot of fun. I wrote that we stopprd at laptop computers on our way. I need to fix that to say PC Laptops.

At Lagoon.


There are more lagoon pictures, I just haven't finished making the pages. I will post them when I'm done. The next pages are from Alissa's Birthday. I have a lot more pictures from that too. I will post those when they are finished also. I like to decorate the house with a lot of balloons. I stay up late the night before so when the kids wake up they are surprised. This year Alissa wanted to blow up her own balloons. It was nice to not have to blow up all those balloons.
