I heart Kip and Jen

These two gorgeous gals are two of my best friends in the world and I love them so much! We've been friends for...12 years! I met Keira (kip) in 8th grade where I stopped a pig nosed beast from beating her up in the bathroom at lunch- we were bff from then on! And Janelle says the first night we met I smacked her bum and she knew right then, we were meant for each other! Ha! We've had soooo much fun together over the years but this last trip to Arizona was on the top ten list! I love you girlies!

An Arizona Wedding!

The wedding weekend began with a dinner party at my parents house. We go to meet Colbi's parents and brother and sister and spend some more time with our Toolson relatives who flew/drove in for the occasion.





Shannon, it was SOOO good to see you and spend a few days with you! Smooch!


During the party we snuck into the laundry room to present Sean and Colbi with their "survival baskets". They were filled with funny things like a camo apron for Sean and ear plugs for Colbi!






Outside the temple












Introducing Sean and Colbi Toolson!





Isn't she lovely!? And Sean looked pretty smokin' too!





Once again, I was too busy having fun and running after my kiddos to take good pictures of this GORGEOUS reception. Colbi looked like a princess barbie bride, all the little girls (and big girls too) were oooohing and aaaahhhing all night. And just for the record, I love Colbi so much. She is such a gift and a blessing to Sean and to our family!






Gramma and Grandpa Baker stayed at mom and dad's house with us and we LOVED spending time with them and their new puppy Mandy!





More fun pictures around the house with KC, Colbi, dress up, and chess!

The Phoenix Zoo

Mimi and Papa Mike took us to the Phoenix Zoo on the most beautiful Arizona day ever! We had so much fun together but I think I had the most fun watching my parents do what they do best!








Johnny loved this new exhibit where the little monkeys run and swing around right in front of you.






I grew up going to this zoo and have always in love with the orangutans. It was a little chilly out this day and the mom just sat there cuddling with her little monkey baby to keep it warm. It was so cute. We loved watching her and the baby and the gigantic dad and his huge flappy cheeks.






I absolutely love, love, love seeing my parents with my kids. They are the greatest and the kids adore them!






Livy was obsessed with the carousel, she just HAD to ride it so our sweet papa Mike took the kids. Getting her to get off was a chore but besides that, it was an absolutely perfect day at the zoo!
