our happy little family


We got to spend some family time together up in Hershey for Dave's sisters wedding. Sharon married Johnn April 30th in the D.C. temple. It was the most perfect day. Great day for a wedding. Everything seemed perfect and I hope that Sharon and Johnn had a great day. Siena was so excited to be a flower girl. Grandma made all the bridesmaid dresses, the three flower girl dresses and the actual wedding dress. They were all beautiful. Siena was so excited when Sharon walked out of the temple. She thought Sharon looked like a princess. I didn't take any pictures at the actual wedding at the temple. All these pictures are stolen from facebook from brothers or sisters. Thanks guys. So it was a beautiful day and so fun to be with all the family. We had a delicious luncheon at the Marriot hotel afterwards and then off to Hershey for a reception that night. It was a lot of driving in one day. Thank you so much Pauline for coming and taking care of the kids while we went to the actual wedding. They loved playing. We got family pictures taken up in Hershey and I have to say they are probably the best ones that we have had yet. Ben looks sad, but everyone else looks good. So the one big hiccup at the wedding was that everyone got sick. It just got passed around to everyone. It started Friday night. Most of Sunday Grandma and everyone at her house was sick, then Sunday night it started at Trisha's house. We were staying at Trishas house so as soon as Trisha threw up we left to come back home to VA. We didn't want to take the chance of getting sick. Luckilly it didn't come to our family. I guess we just aren't as social as everyone else. I heard that it got to the groom, poor newlyweds. So besides that it was an awesome weekend, where we swam, had a bbq and played with cousins.

crazy conversations

It really is no secret, my kids love t.v. They have these shows for 20 minutes then they do all the commercials and ads at the end. They love those as much as the show. They have memorized all the commercials and can probably quote most of them. So the other day we were going to Costco and out of nowhere Ben says, "knock knock, who's there, orange, orange who"? I have no idea where he learned a knock knock joke and I'm not sure what the ending is and why he doesn't know it. We laughed so much after he randomly said it that now the kids think they are hilarious every time they say it. They are constantly saying that joke.
During dinner last night Siena somehow started asking about where milk comes from. I told her from cows. Then we talked about how a lot of food comes from animals. Not the greatest conversation as you are eating bacon and she asks where it came from. It was especially hard to teach her that we get milk from cows and then we kill them and make meat out of it. So this morning after breakfast she asks me what animal makes orange juice. So apparently we need to eat more vegetables.
