Our whirlwind weekend started out with a bright and early drive from Logan on Friday morning for Dan's brother, Chris', wedding. We started the morning at the Bountiful Temple for their sealing.
How pretty does Ann look?
Dan and I sporting the wedding party purple.
(Denise's Cousin) Marti, Grandma Ann, Denise, Me, and Tori
The Happy couple: Amber and Chris
Flower Girl Molly + Tori
Brothers and Nephew. Charlie throughly enjoyed this perch quite a bit this weekend.
We then headed back to Rick and Denise's for a Cafe Rio catered luncheon: my fave. Later that evening was their reception in Highland (where Amber's family is). I forgot my camera, but it was beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen a cultural hall transformed so beautifully. It was amazing.
Congratulations Amber + Chris!
Saturday morning Dan headed to drill and I was off to a Mustache Bash for Baby Monson. My pictures are seriously lacking, but it was a fun get together. Sue spearheaded this event and cut out so many cute little mustaches and ties to celebrate Bonni's upcoming little man.
Mustache Chocolate Pop Favors! (I was so happy they worked out, as I was pouring chocolate into the mold I was sure disaster was eminent.)
This gift incited one of the funniest baby shower conversations I've ever heard. Its a battery operated nasal aspirator. The half of the room that didn't have kids was audibly gaging envisioning baby snot collecting in that CLEAR container, while the seasoned mommies in the room agreed that it was a lifesaver! There was also discussion of the Nasalfrieda, a device by which the mother sucks the baby's snot up through a tube. Awesome.
And here is the cute mommy to be, Bonnijane. I've just got to say that I love Bonni and Sue. I feel like our friendship was forged in blood in Monterey. We all went through the life changing experience of being a DLI wife together and came out stronger (?) for it. Anyway, anytime I can spend time with Bonni and Sue is awesome.
Congrats Bonni, can't wait to meet your little man!

Oh my gosh I totally have that snot sucker nose Frieda thing and love it. It's disgusting but awesome. When I got it as a gift I thought it was a joke, and then brooke got sick at five weeks old and I got desperate. Good times I tell you. ;) I wish Merrill's brothers would get married! Someday I will experience getting a new sister in law haha.
You and Dan look so cute at his brothers wedding! I like the purple! What a cute idea with the mustaches! You guys have some crafty skills!
Oh, Lauren, just wait. Till we had Aleks I was grossed out by any talk about diapers! But then, it just becomes a second nature, or more accurately the ONLY nature:)
You and Dan at the wedding look cute and we miss to hang out with you. Well, I guess, Mark has a perk of drill to see Dan, but I'm really missing out on your guys' company.
Oh wow I look huge. Thank you so much for coming down to do the shower, it was awesome! And I agree with the life changing experiences in Monterey. Still hoping it made us all stronger. At least we have good friendships out of it.
Also, I will let you know which one I like better between the self suction and the vibrator. That still is a little weird... Also, no pics of your amazing food for the wedding? I wanted to see your culinary skills. Love you.
