THE WEDDING!!!

What a fabulous weekend! We all flew in on Friday night and the party didn't stop till we left on Sunday. The boys had a "bachelor party" that night during a round of golf. We had a family dinner that night at the Macaroni Grill...where we have ALL of our family dinners in Provo! The next day we went to Salt Lake at around 10:00 and they were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple at 11:30. It was an incredible feeling to be in the temple surrounded by all of our family! Grandpa Toolson did another fabulous job!The luncheon was directly afterward at the JSMB and was beautiful and very tasty! After lunch, we went directly to Jess's house for lots of pictures. It was such a perfect day! The weather was great. It was windy, but it died down by the time the reception started. The reception was held in Jess's backyard in a white tent. It was so pretty. Jess was the most gorgeous bride I have ever seen. Her hair and makeup were professionally done, her dress was amazing, the flowers were stunning, the food was delicious, the DJ played great music. Everything was perfect. It was such a treat to be around family and friends at such a fun event! At the end of the night, we sent them off with sparklers and they got to drive Dan's hot Mercedes to the Grand America. They leave for Maui tomorrow for their honeymoon. And now Ryan has a WIFE, wierd!! Congratulations brother!


Aren't they gorgeous? Her dress was to die for!!


The Bro's. I'm sure KC was whispering something inappropriate in Ry's ear!


Happy Family


We kinda look alike, don't we?

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Ryan Toolson!! Here they are walking into the luncheon.


Papa Mike and Johnny and Jess's Dad, Dan and her nephew Sammy


Gotta love the view from our window! The Salt Lake temple is one of the prettiest buildings around!


I got to see Katie!!

Livy was held literally all day, she loved it! I found this bow the day before the wedding and it matched perfect:)


Johnny ate nothing but chocolate cake, chocolate tarts and this chocolate ice cream cone at the reception. I know, I know, I deserve Mother of the year!


Here is the happy couple cutting the cake. It was beautiful! I loved that they cut the cake way up high so everyone could see. Genius.


This is a bad picture and does NOT do it justice but this is when you walk into the tent from the back.

Have You Heard?

Ryan's getting MARRIED on Saturday!!!!!!!!



Her name is Jessica Campbell, she is from Provo and they are perfect for each other. Welcome to the family little sister!

If you give a kid some cheese...

Johnny is a horribly picky eater and the other night when we had TONS of yummy "Cafe Rio" food to eat, all he wanted was cheese on a plate. So we gave him plenty of shredded cheese to keep him busy for a while and started eating. A few minutes later we heard him giggling all by himself and saw him doing this... what a weirdo! But we sure love him!

What a great weekend!

We had such a fabulous weekend with Aunt Becca in town and plenty of conference to watch! Johnny was in heaven! He spent LOTS of times at Gramz house playing with her, Greggy, Andrea and his Aunt Boo (Beka). We love you Beka and wish you lived closer...hint hint!!



The girls and Johnny went to the new outlets while the men were at the Priesthood session.


This is actually the first Allen family picture we've taken since John and I got married.


And this is the first family picture we've taken since the hospital. We all look pretty gnarly in it!


Me and the Beka...and Andrea!

A Little Photo Shoot

Livy and I had ourselves a little photo shoot today. Good times.





No she's not always cross eyed.

Hangin Out

Here are some "around the house" pictures. We are loving this family of four business!


Livy loves her daddy! They bond every night so mommy can get a head start on her sleep!


Pretty Girl


Johnny is obsessed with all of these little animals and thought he would share them with his little sister. It was adorable, I walked in and he had laid them all around her bouncy seat and was singing "Twinkle Twinkle" to her.


Livy and Gramz Neese had to get to know each other again after her trip to Utah. We love spending days at gramz house!
