Oroville Weekend

The following weekend we headed up to Oroville for the reception at the parents house. We headed up a couple days before and helped get things all ready. 
We took the kids on a short walk around the block. They loved driving the gators with their cousins.
Payton and Jaydn being silly and riding the skateboards.
We helped finish up prepping the backyard. 
Cedar and Mckinley played in the gator since the ground was so wet.
Payton and Scarlett enjoyed playing on the teeter-totter.

I didn't take any pictures of the reception but it turned out beautiful and perfect. 
While we were in Oroville my baby brother became a dad. Jacie gave birthday to Olivia on the 4th of April. She is so sweet. We haven't met her yet, but we have skyped with them a number of times.

It has been a very busy month. We couldn't have asked for it any other way. We love our families and love that they are growing all the time.

Utah Part 2

After spending time with the Cambra family we spent the last half of our vacation with the Robertson family. Joel and Megan got married on the weekend so we got to see everyone! Getting all of the Robertson family together isn't the easiest thing to do. With almost 40 of us now days it tough, but everyone made it happen for this wedding.
We got to spend a few hours at Jana's house before more family came into town. We all enjoyed the time with them since we don't get to see them very often. Raymond is about 4 months older the Mckinley. They were cute to watch together.
Raymond is the youngest of 5 kids soon to be 6 kids.
We decided to have a little easter egg hunt for all the cousins. We knew they would love it and of course they did.

The hunt!
Cedar and Mckinley are also about 4 months apart. We don't get to see Cedar very often, so it was good to see the Lewis family.
I wish I had a picture of all 4 of the babies but Raymond was sleeping so we missed out on getting a picture of him with his cousins. I just know these 4 cousins will love being so close in age.

Tire swings are so much fun. Scarlett loved it.
I got to step away from the Robertson family for a few hours and went to Ashley's baby shower. Mom, Mckinley and I went. It was a lot of fun. Ashley is having a little boy and he is supposed to be born in June.
The night before the wedding we all dressed up in our GI Joe costumes and went and saw GI Joe 2 the movie. Josh is obviously very loved in his family. He has his hobby of collecting all the figures and vehicles and he has become very obsessed with just about anything GI Joe. His family is extremely supportive and he and I both appreciate that. We all dressed up back in 2009 for the first movie so of course we had to do it again for the second one. 
 The whole group!
Saturday came and it was wedding day. We all get dressed up in our wedding clothes and enjoyed the day celebrating the marriage of Joel and Megan.
Scarlett, Madalyn, Marlee and Cali
We got to enjoy the ceremony in the Timpanogos Temple and then the kids came after to the temple and we took all types of pictures.

My kids are not the best when it comes to having to take lots of pictures.

Joel and Megan! We are so thrilled to have Megan in our family!
All the little girls were excited to see Joel and Megan and give them hugs!

Scarlett couldn't make it for the whole party. She crashed. It was a long day!
Joel and Megan's car all ready for them to leave. The brothers, friends, nieces, and nephews did a great job decorating the car.

The next day which was Easter Sunday we spent driving home. We had a wonderful vacation and loved being able to see everyone. We were all very tired by the time we got home. Lots of nights staying up late and waking up early. Looking forward to the next vacation.
