Open House in Utah

We had a week between the reception in Vegas and the Open House in Utah. I spent a couple of days during this week sleeping in. It was wonderful to know that I did not have to check on something, or order something, or pick up something! So after recovering and cleaning house plus getting back to work, (I made 2 dresses this week along with altering 2 prom dresses and a wedding dress) we left to go to Utah for the open house for Luke's friends and family. We met so many aunts and uncles and cousins. It was very nice. Luke's parents let Mike and I stay in their motor home on their property. It was like having our very own guesthouse!

Now it is all over and they are happily getting settled (for now, they will be moving in a few months to a different apartment)

Easter Morning

The Sunday following Kelly's wedding was Easter. We had fun with an Easter breakfast at our house. After breakfast we had an egg hunt in the back yard. After all the winds we had the night before during the reception, Sunday morning was warm and beautiful! Asher, Jaman and my nephew Joseph had fun finding eggs that the Easter Bunny had left for them.

We were all on hand to watch and help the kids.

Reception time

Kelly has always wanted an outdoor reception, so we asked our Bishop and his wife if they would let us use their backyard. It was a beautiful setting. Even if we had a threat of rain and then that night the wind blew like crazy. Kelly did not even notice the cold or the wind!
