Blessing, Wedding, Potty Training and Kindergarten!


These pictures are from Lily's blessing, which was on August 3rd.

I love this pic of my NEW sister-in-law Amber!

Amber and Trace were married in the Timpanogas Temple on
August 15th. It was a special day and we are so excited to have Amber in the
family. Below are just a couple of pic's from the wedding. I had to show
Lily's cute dress off. It turned out great, and of course she was adorable in it!

Cute Anne and Bensen have become such good friends. We will miss
her and the rest of her fam! They have now moved to Iowa, so
Randy (Cory's bro) can finish up his Masters and I think his Doctorate
out there as well. Good Luck we'll miss you!


And so, as I wrote in the title, we are now to the subject of Potty Training. Anyone reading
this who has gone through the potty training experience know's exactly what is going on around my house. Yes my carpets are a little dirtier then normal and Yes I am doing a lot more wash lately, but little Bens is doing pretty darn good. Life is not perfect yet and over the weekend he did go number 2 while up on Cory's shoulders, but alas he does have more success then failure...

And Kindergarten starts tomorrow for my Asher. I can't believe it and it makes me teary eye'd just thinking about it! We decided to put him into American Heritage where Grandma Nicole teaches and he is soo excited. I think he is mostly excited that Grandma is going to take him home from school and that he gets to ride in her car and talk with her everyday! We are excited for him and after all the meetings and tours of the school, we feel it is a good fit for Asher. He also has Abby (his cousin) in his class and he is excited to see her everyday as well. Abby is such a cute girl and what great friends they will become!
I love Asher so much, and I know that this new chapter will bring lots of good things into his life, and he will have the opportunity to have some awesome experiences!

I will post some 1st day pic's this week, and hopefully my eyes aren't all puffy in them.

Benson went number 2 while on Cory's shoulders?!? That is hilarious! Good luck with the potty training, we are thinking about starting soon with Maddox. What a pain.

All of the pictures you've posted are beautiful, as usual! I love the one of Cory with his sons; that's just precious. And you and Lily at the temple is so sweet. Good luck with your first day of school, Asher! It is hard to send them off, isn't it? I'm excited that Asher and Abby get to be in the same class, though! That's so neat!

I agree with Jenn, the pictures of your family at the blessing turned out so nice and little Lily's dress at the wedding was SO cute- you are very creative! Abby is beyond excited to have Asher in her class- hopefully they don't goof off too much together during the day!!!

Cute pictures Jill! I hope Bens gets the hang of potty training before their are anymore accidents on Cory's shoulders!!! Good luck, I'll be there soon enough! Sounds like it's going to be an interesting experience with Kylee!

Your family was so adorable on the blessing day. Cory gave a beautiful blessing, and what a great tribute to you as her mother! I loved holding your sweet little girl. Email me that picture... i'll put it in my scrapbook! I can't wait to hear about all the adventures Asher and Abby will have. I told Bree how cool it would be if somehow I could have been their teacher! I would have the two best kids in the school, not to mention the two cutest :) Love you and thanks for all your support for the wedding. You guys looked great and your kids were so cute. It was an amazing day!
Don't forget to send me that picture of Lily and I... I need to put it on the fridge so I don't have withdrawals of not seeing all of my cute nieces and nephews!!
