Brian and Whitney get married!

Our family has been waiting for this day for well over a year!  My little brother, Brian, finally married Whitney a couple weeks ago.  Such a wonderful weekend!
I mean, how cute are they?!


The first night was the rehearsal, of course, but I didn't get many pictures.
I do have a fun little story, though...
Jackson was the ring bearer, and Whitney wanted him to walk arm and arm with the flower girl, Delaney.  But, he wouldn't do it.  I thought maybe it was because he didn't know her before that night, but no, that's way too simple for Jackson.  Jackson didn't want to walk down the aisle with Delaney because he thought if he walked down the (wedding) aisle with this stranger-girl, he'd be married to her!  bahahahahahahahaha!  That is hysterical!
Once we assured him that they would not be married if he walked arm and arm with this (super sweet) little girl, he was totally fine with it.
But look at their little faces.  And their little fists.  Hahahahaha!  This is totally new territory for them.


That night at the rehearsal dinner, we caught a picture of this adorable little superhero-


I posted this picture of Jim and me on Facebook because we're rarely dressed up these days...


but I didn't post the photo of this cute little creeper.
He's so dang cute!


I won't post too many pictures of the bride and groom because I don't want to steal their thunder, but I have lots of pictures of my littles!  ...and a few of the bride and groom too.

Well, first, you can't have a proper wedding reception without cake.


And a first dance.



And a mother-son dance.


So with all the dancing going on, I guess Jackson thought it was a good time to ask me to dance.  It was such an important moment for me, it was the first time one of my boys asked me to dance. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of that dance.  It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about that sweet boy asking his mama to dance.

Then, there was some line-dancing going on, and Jackson had no idea how to line-dance, but he got out there anyway!  Watch out, ladies, here he comes!



Harrison wasn't going to let Jackson get all the attention! 
I think he was break dancing...??


At one point, I see Jackson just sitting with some new friends, enjoying the night, and I thought, man, it's going by too fast.  Every time I look at Jackson, he looks more and more like a little man.  He's so much closer to being a teenager and farther and farther away from being a baby. 
My heart can't take it.


And I realized, I had no idea where my other children were...
I found Austin behind me.  He didn't want me to take his picture, so he was "shooing" me away.


Then, I found my youngest little guy, just standing by himself, taking a moment.


It was such a fun, beautiful night.  I'm so glad Whitney is officially part of our family, though we've felt like she was one of us for a long, long time now.
I'll end with this cute picture of Delaney, the flower girl, keeping Harrison entertained.

Easter 2012

This year we had our big family Easter dinner on Friday because Grandma had to work on Sunday. I tried out a new recipe for dessert which I found on Pinterest (of course). It's a super rich chocolate brownie cake. It turned out great, but was a little too rich for my taste. However, I really think that if you are a true die-hard chocolate lover then you will LOVE this recipe . I thought I was a true die-hard chocolate lover, but this cake beat me. A good friend of mine makes Easter cupcakes with her kids every year. I saw them on her blog last year and I thought they were so cute! This year we made them at our house to hand out to our neighbors. Jackson helped with the baking and decorating. He has some mad grass and egg decorating skills! He also decorated the plates that we handed out the cupcakes on. Our neighbors were quite impressed with his work. For some reason I still get these little momentary realizations that I'm a mother of two, and I get this rush of emo...

BABY NUFFER #2 is on his/her way!!!!

That's right, we were waiting to tell everyone, but today we had our second appointment and the second sono and Baby Nuffer #2 is doing well. Most of you know that we had a miscarriage in June after struggling with infertility, it was a very devastating time for us. We were "advised" to wait a couple cycles before trying again (and we were going to take the advice), but a little voice, I know now it was the Spirit, told me we should try again as soon as possible. I talked to Jim and he agreed and sure enough baby #2 is on it's way again! This little one is very healthy and has a strong heartbeat!! We aren't out of the woods yet, I'm just under 9 weeks and at 12 weeks our chances of miscarriage drop significantly. I don't feel we'll be out of the woods until I have our little baby in my arms, which will only give me a whole new set of stresses to worry about. ;) This is Baby Nuffer #2 at 6 weeks and 5 days. If you look close it's off to the ...

George Albert Smith challenge

Last Sunday we started the new lesson book in Relief Society over President George Albert Smith. I was really impressed by the 11 "ideals" that make up his personal creed. You can read each of the 11 ideals from his personal creed here . I wish I could say that I am already living ALL 11 ideals, but that's not the case. So I'm challenging myself to take one ideal a month which will take me through November and honor that ideal by living it somehow (it will vary each month with each ideal). I will try very hard to do something representing all 11 ideals in the month of December. I will update the blog each month with whatever good deed or service project I have come up with for each month's creed. Writing about my monthly challenges is not to be boastful or prideful, but rather to ensure that I follow through with my challenge. You are welcome to take the same challenge. I would LOVE to hear about how you live each creed! January's creed: "I will...
