The Wedding

Emma, Carson, Jade, Colton & Jordyn getting pictures taken before their daddy and Teresa come out of the temple.

It was such a nice sunny day, they had a hard time keeping their eyes open. The photographer would have them close their eyes for the count of 10 then open them to take the picture. Little Carson just kept them closed.

The new couple... freshly married.

The swarm of kids. They were so excited to see their daddy and Teresa. Jared & Teresa with the kiddos. What a beautiful new family! Rylee, Taylee, Treyson & Abree in front of the Ogden Temple.

Smullin Gathering = Gaming

Our family went to Utah this past weekend, for Jared and Teresa's wedding. The night before the wedding, we all gathered at Mom & Dad Smullin's house. When the Smullin's get together, usually there's some sort of gaming going on. That night there was a little "Rock Band" and "American Idol". The next night the guys played "Halo3" while the girls played "Pass the Pig".

Boise Stampede Game

Jason took me to a Boise Stampede basketball game on Saturday. They were playing a team from Utah. Boise lost, but it was still a fun time to hang out and enjoy some adult conversation. (Thanks to Rylee for watching our kids!)

The mascot buzzed around us a few times. This time he was messing with the guy in front of us. He took his Pepsi, dipped his paw in it and rubbed it all over the guy's balding head. He pretended to style his hair. The guy was a very good sport and just joined in laughing, with the rest of us.

Spring Break

One day, during Spring Break, Jason took a WHOLE day off of work to go house shopping and hang out with our family. For lunch we went to IHOP... for breakfast food. :o)

They were having a special promoting the new movie "Horton Hears a Who". So we thought we'd better try some "Who Cakes" and green eggs and ham, because they looked so fun.

Waiting and waiting for our food to arrive.

Our "Who Cakes", green eggs & ham finally arrived. I just love how "Suessian" the pancakes look; piled high with bright colored purple and blue syrup and topped with a pink lollypop. Taylee said the lollypop reminded her of the pink fluffy flower Horton holds with his trunk... you know the one with the speck of dust, where the Who's live.

Pretty Bird

When visiting at G & G Smullin's, we played with Jared's family birds Belle and Jazzy. The girls were brave enough to hold them... Treyson chose NOT to hold them, but to admire them from a safe distance. :o)

Easter Weekend

One of the things we did during our Utah visit was to have an Easter Egg Hunt. Grandma Smullin supplied the candy-filled eggs and Jared hid them all over G&G Smullin's back yard. There was 4 levels of the back yard, so the kids really had to hunt.
