Tyler & Amber's wedding



OK, on June 20th Tyler and Amber got married in the Salt Lake City temple and Diana and I made Rivers and Madison these dresses to be dutiful flower girls. They loved walking around with their bouquets and handing out Amber's creative, cute favors at the reception (little honey jars, mini muffin and tea bag with a tag saying 'love is brewing').



Whitney and Rivers taking in the scene at the reception. Rivers finally got her nerve up to hit the dance floor. Whitney decided against breakin' out her moves.


Here they are getting down. Dwight spun around so hard when he was dancing that he fell right on his forehead and got a nice bump.



It didn't slow him down much though. Here he is showin' his moves with Rivers and Amber.



Handsome little dude.

Bad picture, but there they go on their scooter. It was a fun night.

Before I get to our latest vacation/wedding pictures, here are a few from this summer in Utah. Rivers is on the Central City Cheetahs track team and they had one meet where ages 2 and up could participate. I was so glad because at every one of Rivers' meets we had to remove Dwight from the starting line and long jump runway and he just repeated over and over "race too, race too!" Here he is in all his glory doing the 80 meter hurdles.

And here is Rivers mid-air doing the long-jump. She competed in the All County Meet yesterday and blew us all away in the 400 m. by her sizzling pace, and beautiful, long strides as she led the pack through the first 200 (most of who were older than her). Seriously, it was pretty cool.

Here are some of the cousins in the "clubhouse" under our big birch tree.

This kid loves his dog and likes to take care of her several times a day. Crazy that we've had good old Schatze for over 9 years.


Lately whenever we say it's bedtime, CD runs to Rivers' bed and jumps in, so we let him go to sleep in there - makes for some cute pictures.

Rivers and C-Dizzle both had birthdays recently. Here is a picture of Dwight with his awesome dumptruck cake I created - complete with edible dirt and sticks. We now have a 2 year old and a 7 year old.
