Ready for lots of pictures? You sure? Okay. Be prepared, I can't take a clear picture to save my life.
Last week we got to go home for the final Croshaw wedding. My sister Abby married David on June 22nd in the Salt Lake temple. These two are so perfectly matched. I think they have more fun than the rest of us combined.
We got in a week before the wedding (I flew alone with my 3 kids on a 6 AM flight...worst flight ever, I don't recommend early morning flights if you have to do it on your own with multiple kids. AND we missed our Saturday 6 AM flight because the airport is much busier than I thought it would be at 5 in the morning, "luckily" we got on the Sunday 6 AM flight. Did you catch the 6 AM???) and had enough time to go to Boise for a couple of days. We were there for Grandpa Boise's birthday. The kids got to spend all day Tuesday with Grandma Boise while I got to spend it with my Tina!!!! We all had such a great time. The feeling I got driving into Boise is how I know we'll be living there again some day.
The rest of the week was a whirlwind of cousins playing, jumping on the trampoline, playing the piano, watching movies, glow sticks, and non-stop fun! For them at least. Friday there was a reception in Pocatello and us moms had to keep the kids out of the house for practically the entire day. We did that by going to the play area at the mall, going to the new Shrek movie, (my personal favorite Shrek movie! GO SEE IT!) lunch at McDonalds where they got to (had to?) play for almost 2 hours, and a trip to walk around Costco because we just didn't have anything else to do. And it was raining that day. But the reception was great. Lots of cousins and friends to see.
AC/DC!!
Saturday was the wedding, and while the day was packed and there were a few snags it seemed perfect. In between pictures and the luncheon and the reception there wasn't a spare minute to think. The kids were troopers. The kids and I had a fun burst of dancing at the reception. (And BTW, my nephew Elliot is a child prodigy with his dancing. If I can get my video uploader to work you'll see exactly what I mean.)
Alex took this picture. I can't figure out how he got them to all smile like that!
I love this picture SO MUCH!
Grace or Mia took this picture. It's a masterpiece. 
I got to see my best friends from 6th and 7th grade at the reception! Tirae and Tavia, who without facebook I would probably never have figured out how to get in touch with them.
Tirae and I. ♥
I'm so happy for Abby. She's so in love and so happy. Thanks for that David!
Monday night we flew home, luckily Jason was with me this time. It was a much nicer flight thanks to him.
(Colby and Lilia and I got a nice case of the flu the day after we got home, but at least we were home for that part.)
