Cait & Darren

On December 18th, Kiley's brother Darren got married to his fiancé Cait! We were super happy for them. They make a PERFECT couple! Kiley and I had the chance to room with Cait during a family trip to Mexico this past summer, and we are very happy to have her as part of our family. She is outgoing and witty and loves to play games. :)

Kiley and I were asked to be the photographers for their wedding, so here are some of the photos from their reception:

Cait's Hair:

                                  Don't I look cool?                                      Aaron and Tia, what a great couple! :)

 Look at the beautiful boquet, Cait-style!

Kiley made the sign in sheets. They were beautiful! Cait's wedding ring also went through quite a bit. It was even lost for a few weeks and showed up randomly in Cait's underwear drawer! :)

 There was a great brunch with these awesome Greek yogurt parfaits and Land Lakes hot chocolate:

Noelle was adorable, as usual. In fact, I think we got more photos of her than of the happy couple (whoops!).

The fancy wedding cake was made by Kiley's sister Kristy, who also made our wedding cake:

Cait and Darren had their reception the Saturday before the wedding. It was nice to get all of the hectic things done with early (something to remember for future weddings!). After the reception, we headed over to the temple to get their photos taken. Here are some of our favorites:

After the wedding ceremony, we took family photos outside of the temple. The day went great, and we are happy that everything went so well. Congratulations Darren and Cait! :)

Thanksgiving 2012

Don't you love the Holidays? Kiley and I were able to spend both Thanksgiving and Christmas with both of our families, and we took advantage to take family pictures with my side of the family. I hope you enjoy the photos!

Cabin in November

After the week of Halloween, my parents invited us to spend the weekend at the Cabin.  I needed a  break from school and I convinced Sam to come along despite having tests that Monday!

So we drove up Friday, spent Saturday there, and drove home Sunday.

Saturday, we:

Played on the swing (sadly it broke before we left)

 Played Baseball

 

Went into town and bought a motorbike on a whim (a hit with the kids and grownups)

Took candid shots:

 We also finished a puzzle, went to Pagosa Springs twice, and watched movies.  I didn't know you could fit in that much in a day!

Sunday we:

Went to the frozen pond to throw rocks

Got caught in a rope!

And my goodness were we blessed!  Despite doing minimal studying, we both got the highest test grades we ever received in our classes the following day!  See what a much needed vacation can do!

Halloween 2012

We are a bit late on the Halloween update, but this year, we decided to be pirates.  Arrr!

At the ward Halloween party:

 

 Can you guess what they are?  Not ghostbusters, but adventurers on Mt. Everest!

Crazy Cat Lady preparing the desert table

We had quite a few superheroes running around!

 Cute cute family with their cave baby. :)

Starting off the costume parade.

Except for the eyepatch, earing, and sword, it was completely from our closets.  It's fun to get creative.
