Congratulations John and Loni !

This weekend, Kyle's older brother John married his sweetheart, Loni. After over a year of dating, we say "it's about time." It'll be nice to not be the only married couple in Kyle's family. It was a beautiful day and the ceremony in the Salt Lake temple was lovely. We spent the last two days with them and somehow Kyle only managed to get a few pictures and this video of the happy couple. I guess that's what happens when half the time is spent chasing a two year old boy and the other half is is spent consoling a 7 month old baby.


Here's the other picture we got of them at the reception. We decorated John's car at the reception and Ethan contributed to the festivities. As the car was being decorated, we noticed that Ethan had a poopy diaper, which he happily let us put right in the middle of the windshield of John's car. (We were nice enough to leave the "goods" inside of the diaper.) Justin circled the diaper with whipped cream and wrote "your future." We thought it was quite funny.

When we were at the temple waiting for John and Loni to come out of the temple, we saw that Elder Dallin H. Oaks was walking around the temple grounds. Turns out he was there for another family's wedding. When asked if he comes out often he said he hadn't been in that area outside of the temple for three years. He was kind enough to pose for a photo with Jen and Brooklyn. This was especially meaningful for Jen since her lesson in relief society today was based on one of Elder Oaks' talks.
Brooklyn is becoming much more mobile lately. She's working really hard on getting up on her hands and knees. She can't quite do it yet, but as you can see here, she is very close.
The other day Ethan came out to Jen saying "yellow hat." He put this on all by himself.

What a neat experience at the temple with Elder Oaks. That's funny that you gave a lesson using one of his talks yesterday... so did Justin! Weddings are always so fun, I'm glad you had a nice weekend.

That picture of you and Brooklyn with Elder Oaks is quite a keepsake! What a fun addition to an already great day.

Josh and I were also one of those "It's about time" couples. :) Looks like you had a great time at the wedding and that's great you got to visit with Elder Oaks. (And Jen: that green shirt looks so cute on you!)
