More of the Engagement Party

So many good pics taken by Debbie at this party. Matthew loved the food. Kanfy and Keith have some really cool bookends!

Mekara and Thomas' Engagement Party

What fun! Rhonda helped Thomas' parents throw an engagement party for Thomas and Mekara, who are tying the knot on December 18th.

We made wedding dresses out of toilet paper and white garbage bags. I wanted a Vera Wang look for our creation. I love how the "tiara" turned out! Brandon was such a good sport. He did his beat Derrick Zoolander pose for us! :)

Ethan's Baptism

I'm so proud of Ethan for getting baptized. It was a very special time and it was extra special for me, because it was Mother's Day.

Ethan is 8!

We had a little party Ethan at my friend Rhonda's. She lives in a condo on the beach so we swam and played in the water after we had cake. Ethan and Kylan (my friend David's son) got to play again. I like the pics of the two of them.

Single Adult Conference: Living Water

Wow, what an awesome weekend! Rhonda and David, two of favorite people, put together an amazing conference and had a great turn out of attendees from far and wide.
The classes we had Saturday morning were fantastic and parasailing afterward was SO fun. We had a group of 9 people on our boat and it was everyone's first time going up! We all loved it! Now, about that food committee...Kay Newton, you rock, girl!!! I'm privileged to have just been in the wake of your coolness and ability to feed the masses, and do it well!!!
To my friends: I feel we are like a sweet little family and of course, brothers and sisters in Christ our Savior. I love you all.

Matt in a hat!

I love this kid! I thought I was done after Ethan and it's so amazing to have been blessed with Matthew. He is a "healer" as my Mom likes to call him. Matthew has, since infancy, been able to make people feel awesome with his smile or by his loving way about him. He's so CUTE too!

More Easter!

My dear friend Rhonda invited us over for Easter dinner Sunday evening. We had some good food (my brownies were killer!) and then we went down to the beach. Rhonda lives in Mirimar Beach and it's so beautiful there, like so many other places on the Emerald Coast that I and my friends are so fortunate to live near.

The kids played in the sand and my friends and I took some fun pictures.
