Braden and Pam's wedding


The first two weekends in May were very busy for us! We drove up to Cardston Alberta Canada to go to Braden and Pam's wedding. It was an interesting weekend, Cardston is REALLY small. Driving back and forth in such a short time with the kids was an adventure on it's own as well. Not too bad though, my parents drove with us so that was really nice to have more adults than children. The wedding was lovely, all though it rained all day, luckily they took all their wedding photos on a beautiful day a few days previous. Down in Medford for their open house we thought it would be perfect weather. No such luck either! It threatened to rain the whole day and was pretty chilly so we moved the open house to the church. It was SO GREAT to see all the family that came to both the Wedding and the Open House. I didn't pull my camera or IPad out AT ALL while up in Canada ( what is that all about!) so I made sure to take a few pictures while in Medford. 
Here is the lovely couple. Pam's dress looked so gorgeous on her. 
  
The general decor was coral and teal. The kids and I went down a few days early to help my mom get everything ready. However she of course had pretty much everything ready, I was just able to help with odds and ends. 
All the treats were SO tasty. I think I ate my weight in brownies, lemon bars and cupcakes. Probably not the best idea... I've hit the treadmill pretty hard since coming home ;) Maylee didn't want to smile for the camera, but she really enjoyed her brownie too. Cousin time was great for the kids. Playing with Tanner Dallin Ashlyn and Amber is a big highlight whenever we visit. 
Aunt Stormy was able to fly in from Iowa for the Open House. She was so helpful with set up during the quick move to the church and it was lovely catching up with her. Matt as always was a goof in nearly all the pictures. I was able to get a decent one however. 
GrandBobbie was also able to fly in from Arizona. We loved visiting and catching up with her as well. I think we may have worn her out with all the wedding fun, but she told me she had a great time. 
Ty was in heaven chasing Tanner and Dallin around all weekend. 
Steve Nate and Matt. I just wanted a quick picture and of course, this is what I get. Matt, sporting black ankle socks...
So a fun fact about Pam I learned, she was born in Zimbabwe! She moved to Canada when she was 9 or so. Her parents are so great. I think my parents had a great time meeting and getting to know the Walshes. Denise and Steve were very gracious hosts in Canada and hopefully had a great time visiting Medford. They are very talented and artistic so it was nice to lean on them a bit for the creative flair needed for wedding decor. 
Kelly was able to take some family pictures of our little family in our wedding get up. I'll post those next. 

P.s. Hopefully I get a new camera soon, my lack in blogging is due to a serious need of a new computer and camera. Blogging on an iPad isn't my favorite, the picture quality is terrible as well, but something is better than nothing I think.
