Better Late Than Never

So.... This is REALLY late, but necessary all the same! We had a FABULOUS September full of family, fun, food, and BABY!!!!! Be prepared for a picture OOOOVVERRRRLOAADD.

Our September started with the wedding of my brother J to his lovely bride A. We zipped over to Utah for 24 hours for the occasion and packed in as much fun as we possibly could!

My brand new cousin AR - so adorable right?! And B and I at the temple. He was on his way to car undressing himself in this photo. We had to stop him before stripping all the way!

My cute family! I love them so darn much!

After the ceremony and pictures we headed to a cute little restaurant in Manti and had a delicious lunch.

J performed a song for A and it was so sweet!

With the happy couple!

After the luncheon we headed back home and hung out for a bit before grabbing dinner and heading off to the airport for our next adventure.

B and I at Cafe Rio (one of the things I miss most about UT since moving to CA) making silly faces!

After our quick stop in UT we headed down to Las Vegas to see Jake's family and spend some time there! We filled up our time chatting, playing with the nieces and nephews, eating delicious food, and relaxing. It was fun to be together with everyone. One of the highlights from our trip was going to the temple with all of Jake's siblings and doing temple work together for family names. It was so cool to be there with family and to participate all together. The temple is a very special place. 

Nephew B

We went to the park for Niece B's birthday and had a little party! It was tons of fun!

We played wiffle ball one day at the church and had a fun time. This is C and Nephew B up to bat!

The whole family!!

All the girls with the nieces and nephews! Niece B is getting so big! I love that our family is growing!

The siblings all went out to dinner at a Brazilian Buffet and a variety show downtown. It was a lot of fun. We ate delicious food and laughed lots. 

This was our picture from our little family picture session that we had. I like this one!

September ended with the best news of all!! We went in for our anatomy scan and after a long 1.25 hour appointment we found out we are expecting a sweet, beautiful BABY GIRL!! We feel so blessed and are so excited to be her parents. We can't wait to meet her! 18 weeks left until her arrival!
