Weddings, Babies, and SO Much More...

Just over a week ago, my cute brother married the cutest girl EVER! This past week has been quite eventful, which means not much time for the blogging world...but now it is time to share! First, my brother, his wife and two kids came in town from North Carolina on Friday. It was so good to see all of them...especially because the last time we saw them was a year ago! It's amazing how much the little one's grow, and how fast time flies!
My brother's cute fiancé (now cute wife, Krystal) asked me to be a bridesmaid for their wedding! I was SO excited to be asked to be a special part of their special day! The dresses were so stinkin cute, and I was so excited to be a part of their special day! Unfortunately, I was able to hide my pregnant belly until about a week before the wedding. Luckily, I have a cute mom who was more than happy to help me alter my dress slightly so there would be enough room for the two of us inside the dress. On Sunday, Krystal had the bridesmaids over to her house for a glitter-toes party! I have never had glitter toes before, and they turned out SOOO cute!!! It was fun to get to spend time with her and the other bridesmaids before the big day!
On Wednesday, Tyler and I had our official ultrasound visit at the doctor's office...it's a BOY!!! :) We couldn't be any happier to see our little squirt, to know that he is growing and developing well, and that this time he wasn't shy and was actually quite happy to show us his 'equipment.' He sure is a cute little bug, that's for sure! :) Wednesday afternoon we had the rehearsal for the wedding, and the reception center was so amazing! It was definitely nice to run through everything, so I didn't feel like a complete idiot when it came time for the wedding! That night, we had the wedding rehearsal dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory. I had never been there before, and it was such a treat! The food was amazing...the strawberry lemonade made both me and the baby happy...the ice-cream was delicious, and the company was so much fun!
Thursday was the big day! We spent the morning getting all fancied up and ready for the wedding...we were praying the whole time that the weather would allow for us to have the ceremony outside, which is what Jonny and Krystal wanted. The weather was being the usual Utah weather, where it would be nice and then five minutes later...rain...so there was no telling what it was actually going to be like...Luckily the weather cleared up enough for us to have the ceremony outside in front of the beautiful waterfall. Krystal looked absolutely GORGEOUS, and Jonny looked very stunning as well! I am so glad that the weather cooperated for us, because the wedding was so amazing! We had fun dancing and socializing all night (and although I don't have any pics...I will try to round some up because it was seriously so nice). I am so glad I could share in their special day with them!
On Friday, I started my new job at my new branch! I am now a loan officer...which is pretty awesome...j/k! I am going to miss the people I used to work with, but I am already loving my new branch! :) On Sunday, my sister-in-law gave birth to a beautiful baby girl! She was a planned c-section, but not until Tuesday...little baby Carter had a mind of her own, and decided it would be funny to break her mommy's water on Easter Sunday. So at 3:00 in the morning, they ran to the hospital, and the doctor's did an emergency c-section on her! Luckily, everyone is doing well! She was born 7 lbs. 13 oz. and 19 inches long! :) Congratulations to my cute sister-in-law Steph on a beautiful baby girl! It just makes me so excited to have a little one of our own! So...there is our eventful week all nice and wrapped up! It has been so fun, and a little bit of everything! Congratulations to my cute brother and new sister on their wonderful wedding...and to my other sister and brother on the birth of their new baby! :)
