The New Mr. & Mrs.

Jordan and Chelsey got married on Friday the 13th! 


Most people would avoid that day but these two aren't superstitious...not at all!  Excuse me while I throw some salt over my shoulder.


Brothers as body guards are a must on this questionable day! 


Let's back up a bit. We had a long, wonderful day that started with a wedding luncheon.  It was catered by Connie's Cupboard and Crew!  (Me and my fam)  The menu was: green salad with dressing, lasagna, green beans, fruit medley, desserts, and rolls.

What we lacked in food, we made up for in entertainment.
My beautiful daughter-in-law, Rachael sang, "The Very Thought of You". She has the voice of an angel.


The L2G, (Langston 2nd Generation) performed a Mindy Gledhill song. What they lacked in talent, they made up for in cuteness.  You can see their fun and "not quite ready for prime time" performance here



Off to the Timpanogos Temple for the wedding.  After the sealing, we had pictures taken in front of the temple; in the sun, the hot sun, blasting our eyelids and making us blind!


Finally someone suggested that maybe on the other side of the temple there might be shade!  What do ya know!


Chelsey, the Princess, was a "little girl magnet".  They loved giving her hugs.



Mr. Troy thought he was the keeper of Baby Aly, but alas, she'd had all she could handle!


C8 and Kels were concerned that Troy was sad because Baby Aly didn't enjoy his company.


After comforting everyone, we headed to the reception in the back yard of Grandma's house, where there was some shade...for the shorter people.


I love this picture of my parents talking to their youngest great grandchild.


The food was awesome at the reception.  There were three fountains on the serving tables. One had milk chocolate, another had white chocolate, and the third one had ranch dressing.  I didn't get a picture of the serving tables with my camera, so we'll settle for a hand-full of olives from C8.  The olives were on the ranch dressing table.


Jordan and Chelsey cut the cake and fed it to each other in a nice way!


A toss of the bouquet...

 

...and they're sneaking off to get the car that was hidden in the neighbor's garage.

 

A final pose before leaving for the honeymoon.


Trying to fit in the car with yards and yards of polyester!


She fit!


Congratulations, Jordan and Chelsey! 


Ya done good!

Another One Bites The Dust!

Today I have two heart-affecting items.  One that is very sad and is cause for mourning, the other that is happy.  I choose to report the happy!


Jordan proposed to Chelsey last night.  Her answer was yes! 


These pictures were taken at the tulip festival last month.  The Divine Miss Em has to get in on the picture.


I hope Chelsey realizes that when she marries Jordan,


the whole family comes with him!


Good luck!


One last squeeze from Miss Kels for her new aunt!

Congratulations!  We love you both!

A Birthday Greeting!

Tonight I'm reflecting on the past 22 years.  Jordan, aka Jo-Man, aka Jo-Jo, turned 22 today.   We have a video of his birth.  It was discreetly done, with no body parts revealed, except for Jordan's when the doc held him up for me to see my handsome son for the first time!

I recall when I was 7 months pregnant with him.  I was at my 8-year-old's wrestling match, when a woman, whose son was also wrestling, commented on my pregnancy.  She asked if it was my second.  I told her it was my seventh!  With disgust written on her face and in her voice she boldly stated, "SHAME ON YOU!"  Shocked I asked, "why do you say that?"  She stated again, "Shame on You!!  How can you take care of so many kids?"  As I turned to leave, I simply said, "Fine, thanks!"


With 4 older sisters and 2 older brothers, Jordan had many opportunities to be spoiled or abused,  depending on who he was dealing with!  The first time his 16-year-old sister went on a date, Jordan (then 3) stood at the front room window, and said in a loud sing-song voice, "You gots a lovely boyfriend!" 


He's grown up somewhat since then. 
He returned in August from serving an LDS mission to South Africa.



He joined the Army Reserves right after high school.


Going to school, working, being Uncle Jo-Jo to 10 nieces and nephews, and socializing keeps him busy.


There's no shame bringing Jordan into this world. The world needs more men like him!


Happy Birthday, Jo-Man! We love you!
(I hope he shares those peanut M&Ms)
