Justin & Mandi's Wedding

They did it! Justin and Mandi got married April 18, 2009 out in Nebraska. That meant we got to road trip it out there. We were going to leave Wednesday night. However, that did not work out. Tim happen to get some type of food poisoning. Let me tell you it is really hard to get the family ready all by yourself for a road trip. We weren't able to go until Thursday morning. I was a little nervous for the trip. But we made it through some stormy weather and Tim was able to keep his breakfast down. Porter did pretty good until we were about an hour from Lincoln, which isn't too bad.

Once we got to Nebraska we were on the go go go. First we stopped in to say hello to Justin, hich when we got there in was I think 8:00 pm. Man was I tried; however, I was so glad that we did. We needed to see the groom. By the time we got to our hotel I think it was 11:00 pm. I don't think that Porter fall to sleep until 1am in the morning.

On Friday it was more of a play day. I met up with the girls and Tim with the boys. The girls had lunch and then went to get manicures and pedicures. The boys had just as much fun playing golf. That was the first time that Tim and Justin played golf together. Hopefully not the last. After all the fun we all went for rehearsal dinner. Those Nebraskans really know how to cook. It was really good food.

Saturday shows up and it's wedding day. Mandi and Justin were the cutest Bride & Groom I have ever seen. Totally happy and in love! Everything went great and smooth. After the ceremony we went on to the reception, which was in this old hall that is located on the Mormon Trail. It was a big day of dancing and playing.

The pictures down below are just some of the fun things that happened. If Tim looks sick in any of them give him a break he was sick. What a good sport he was. Congrats Justin and Mandi. We love you.

Easter 2009

For Easter we celebrated with the Wright Family. We made Easter eggs and went on an Easter egg hunt. Porter got a gift bag with little golf clubs in it. He likes to hit things with them. Then on Easter Sunday we gave Porter some little plastic Easter eggs. They did not have anything in them because Porter can turn almost anything into a choking hazard. The eggs were colored like little footballs, baseballs, basketballs, and soccer balls. For the record he threw the soccer ball eggs onto the ground. One of the pictures below shows his utter bewilderment at what to do with a soccer ball egg. He then tried to eat it, which is his way of showing how awesome American sports are and how much soccer sucks. We also gave Penny some Milkbones.

Sad Day for Angels' Fans

I am not sure if any of you watch sports news. As for us in this house we watch ESPN everyday. So when I turned it on and this Breaking News came on I was glued. As I was watching I couldn't believe what I had just seen. I paused the show and got Tim down to see.

As we watched, we are just shocked. One of the Angels pitchers, Nick Adenhart, had just passed away due to a hit and run automobile accident. Being an Angels' fan and a Salt Lake Bees' fan, it was sad to hear about what had happen. (for people that don't know the Bees are the minor league team to the Angles.)

It just would have been nice to see him play more and see what he could have done for the team. Still another life cut short cause a person decided to get behind the wheel while under the influence of alcohol. So please don't drink a drive, you never know whose life you could be changing.
