Kelti's Wedding

My sweet cousin, Kelti, asked me if i'd help document her wedding day with pictures. I was super nervous. Yes I have a fancy camera, but haven't done a whole lot to learn too much about all it can do. The wedding was set for 7pm, so i was able to get some good pics only of the cake beforehand in natural light. Ceremony ended up starting late, sun was going down, a lot of the pics turned out kind of grainy. I hope I at least captured a few memories she will cherish. 

hooray for natural light!

Kelti and I have always been close since we were very young. I am so happy to see this girl happy!! She definitely deserves it!

Such a fun bride.... the caboose to the dance train. Notice the winter coats... yes it is the end of March in Idaho and sadly the whole week had been beautiful and in the 60's. Wedding day= super windy and pretty chilly.

Anderton Spring St. George Getaway!

 With Grandparents leaving on a mission in May, they decided to have a getaway in the Spring since they'll be gone for summer. We went back to the place we stayed last summer in St.George! Such a fun house to fit all of us in! Road trip went well! Brett and I are splitting his earbuds...listening to a Buckeye basketball game. 

 The cousins celebrated Brigham's birthday with a Transformer party while we were there!

 We did plenty of swimming!!! His face doesn't look like it... but this is where Ike wanted to spend all of his pool time. Under the waterfall! Brett would pull him out and he'd point right back at it to go back for more!

 Emri and Ruby

 Some down-time in the theater room in the afternoon.

I'd say when you're found like this...passed out before bedtime... it was a successfully exhausting day!  (Jet) 

 Emri loves her older cousins! Snuggle time with Dex during a movie.

 After the kids go down, the adults stayed up way too late talking about anything and everything.... like what famous person you look like. 

 Grandma's Annual Easter Hunt/Breakfast! It was fun to switch up the location... new terrain to explore, new hiding spots, still WAY too much candy! 

 The ladies did a SWIG run!!! Do we have an addiction?! Dirty drinks all around! 

 The last night we had a celebration for Grandmas birthday, outfitting her with some new clothes for her mission. And we also gave Gma and Gpa a gift of a whole day of service around their house and yard to help them get ready to leave for Portugal. And we had all the kids handprints on pillowcases for them to take with that said, "Somebody in UTAH Loves Me!"

 Gosh we have been blessed with awesome people to call Grandma and Grandpa! We will really miss them when they go, but are so grateful for their never-ending example to us of serving others.
