Two Weddings and a Family Holiday

Hello! We're back! It's been such a long time since I've been able to post. We've had a fun, yet busy week. It started last Friday (the 21st) when we drove up to Rexburg for Kristin and Jacob's wedding. Thankfully, Chaela is a good traveler, and was ok for most of the four hour ride. Rexburg was just hanging out with my family and then going to the wedding, which was AMAZING. Plus Kristin looked GORGEOUS. The reception was fun, too.
Here are some pictures of that. Since I took over 200 pictures this past week, these are just some. More will be posted on Facebook. Just to warn you, I was looking through them and realized there are a lot more of Chaela than Kristin, so you might need to check out Lindsay's pictures on Facebook for more of the bride and groom.

Kristin's Wedding:




Beautiful day, but freezing cold!

Oh, and I got a new camera (it was my Christmas present from Will). It's a Canon, so it does color accent, which I LOVE to play with. I thought this was a cool one. And I love Will because he's an awesome husband who let me get it early because of all of the family events happening in November. Good thing it's from Best Buy, because that's the only credit card we have money on to get Christmas presents right now. And, lucky us, it was on sale!



Literally right after the reception we drove another 3 hours from Rexburg to Jerome, where Will's family lives. Jason and Jana got there just before us and everyone from Portland (Jake, Breauna, Gem, and Eric) got there Wednesday. We had a blast with everyone there, and I know Will loved being able to hang out with his brothers. It was awesome!

The Hair House/Thanksgiving:


This is my favorite picture out of all of them. Chaela and Addie actually got along pretty well, I think, for babies/toddlers. There were a few times when they weren't happy with each other, but all in all I think they're on the road to being friends!



Will helped me get the apple pie ready. What a great guy!

Brothers' time.


This is the Perrine Bridge over the Snake River in Twin Falls. The view was amazing and the statue, which is in this picture on the left, was really cool.

The statue is called "The Twins" but I don't think there's a story behind it. They just represent the falls for which the town is named.


The last large event of the week was Gemarie's wedding on Saturday the 29th, exactly one week after Kristin. We had a great time there, except when Will dropped me when we were dancing. Yeah, we're both a little rusty, haha! And once again, most of these pictures are of Chaela and Addie, not the bride and groom. Sorry!

Gem's wedding:





This was set up for Gem and Eric, but Will took advantage of it. I think this is the most amazing picture ever and also that it can count for a professional shot for anyone who wants one of her! Aunts or Grandmas can let me know and I'll email you the file and you can get it developed if you want. I'd do it for you, but we're still unemployed. :)

And here's Addie's accent shot. I love it because it picks up the roses in the background, too!

Chaela and Aunt Breauna, who looks WAY cuter pregnant than I ever did!


So that was our week. Now it's back to school (blah). Only for two weeks, though, because I am GRADUATING!!!!!!! Yay!!!! All I have left to do is get through a few more tests and my last large paper ever!! But yeah, I have class tomorrow and it's after two am again, so I'm going to bed. Later!

Beautiful, beautiful pictures. The dresses look great, and Chaela and Addie are ADORABLE!

Kohl's was good to me for my pregnancy as well. And it keeps the baby pretty well stocked.
