Fishing.

We are trying to make the most of having the Michigan Quinn family in town for the wedding.  Today we took the boys to the fishing pond in Midway at Wasatch State Park.  Ira had been asking his dad if he could go fishing and it just so happened that Ira was the only one who caught a fish!
As if Grandma was not already amazing in their eyes, she now is even more amazing after showing the little boys how to gut and clean the fish.
Go mom!  I think your dad would be proud of you :)
Ant and Sharon and little Eliot.
Eliot liked eating the food for the ducks better then feeding it to them.

Today grandma cooked the fish for the boys so they could eat it - they have not stopped talking about it all day :)  What a great memory.

"Army guys"

I found Bodie this morning playing army guys in his bedroom.
Love this.

Nephews.

We are having so much fun having our cousins from Michigan in town - they are staying for the entire week!  Because my parents are renting a teeny-tiny condo {and so are we} my dad rented a four bedroom condo in Park City for everyone to hang out at.  It has been a blast.
My mom snapped this picture on her phone of all the boys on my lap while I was reading them a story from my ipad.  

One morning I watched the kids so Ant and Sharon could go to the temple and see friends in Provo.  I took the boys out to run some errands and this is what happened :)  It's no the normal two boys that are asleep in the back seat of my car!

The Reception.

There was a huge Park City summer rain storm that threatened the skies all afternoon - but right as the reception was about to start the skies cleared, the sun came out and it was a beautiful summer evening.
My aunt Ilene helping everyone get their flowers on right.


Bodie dancing the night away!  There was a live band that was a hit!
 The reception was at the Old Miners hospital in Park City {which was our library as kids growing up}.  Because of the nice weather there were people inside and out.
This is McKay's really good friend Jason Barth - this picture is for McKay on his mission.
And this is our dear family friend Mable.  She is the widow of one of the original Park City miners.  We grew up shoveling her walk and visiting her often - even thought she is 99 she was not about to miss Dallin's reception.  She always called Dallin her boyfriend {and even wrote him on his mission!} but now that he is married she said she is going to call McKay her boyfriend!!!
Eliot {who I think looks like his dad Anthony}
My cousin Jake and his family.
The little guy in the blue shirt is also Dallin - we call him "little Dallin" and our Dallin "big Dallin" although I am sure little Dallin is going to be taller then big Dallin some day :)
Even the bride has to eat!
Mable and my mom - they are good friends!
My mom will pick her up once a month or so and take her to lunch!
She is seriously part of the family - she loves the grandkids too and insisted on this picture.
Had to document the food!
Us with our nephew Ira - who we only get to see about once a year - he was super content sitting on our lap getting some loves!
The boys! They look so sharp.
Bodie, Enoch, Truman, Ira, Eliot.

We sent the happy couple off on a 21 day honeymoon {lucky!}
What a great day.
Congratulations!!!
I sent Gregg and the boys home to go to bed while I helped clean up.
When I got home this is what I found!

It was a big day for everyone.

The Lunch.

Right after the temple sealing we had a family lunch at the Joseph Smith Memorial building.  It was just the immediate families so it made it very intimate - it was really fun.

Lunch!
This place was especially great because the kids got yummy "kid friendly" food while the adults could enjoy a nice "adult" meal.
Bodie cutting his fries - such good manners.
At the end of the lunch before we sent Dallin and Becca off they got to release red balloons into the sky.  The roof opened up and off they went - kind of cool!
