In July 2009 our lives were blessed with the most
wonderful gift ever! We adopted our sweet little Madison. She is full of energy
and keeps us on our toes. She has a smile that will melt your heart and knows
just how to work her mommy and daddy. Madi brings so much joy and happiness into
our lives and we cherish every moments we have with her!

for the blessings of adoption and the amazing woman that has helped to bring our
family here. We are so excited to have a little guy around the house and look
forward to watching him grow.

Chris & Bekka's Day... 7.27.2013


Bekka & Chris got married in the LA Temple.   It was a beautiful day.  I was finally feeling a little better from the sinus and ear infections that I had and was able to enjoy the day with family.  This was a new temple for me to go to and I loved the landscaping!  It was in a busy part of LA with a lot of brown and graffiti and garbage. The front of the temple is a massive, green hill that just pops from its surroundings.  It was a very welcome scene.  
Since it was a VERY quick trip, I rode down with Andrew & Holly and took Madi with me.  Here she is with her cousins that came (minus Cordon).  L to R: Brenton, Madi, Caitlin and Whitney. 
While we waited for our bride and groom I tried to get a few pictures of the kids.  She is so cute!  Love her!!!
Little Miss Caitlin...
Whitney...
They came out before I got the other two.  Don't they look so happy?!?
I'll warn ya right now, there are A LOT of pictures in this post.  
Bekka had wanted blue roses in her bouquet but they were super pricey so she got white instead.  Chris went back and paid the extra for the blue.  She was so surprised!  Her reaction was priceless!  Kuddos Chris!

Madi was sooo hungry and tired that she was just plain ornery!  I really wanted a picture of her and Bekka that she was smiley and happy.  Oh well.

This one is my FAVORITE!  Isn't she so beautiful!
Details of the reception...
My mom had ordered flowers to fill galvanized buckets for the center pieces and since Bekka is a Baum they never showed up.  So, half way through the wedding lunch, we settled on tipping the buckets and flowing candy out onto the tables.  Not as cute but WAY tastier! :D (Of the 8 that are married, 5 have had issues with flowers being forgotten, coming in wrong colors, things like that)
They had a dance which the girls LOVED!  Madi has really enjoyed being around cousins and danced with them all night long!

Cordon was even sporting a binki in the chosen color...
What's a wedding without the Macarena?

It was a beautiful day and we are thrilled for Bekka and to have Chris in our family!  Thanks for letting me share in your celebration!
