Little Rachel was so cute in her dress! She kept smiling but I couldn't seem to catch it on camera! All the girls wore pink! It was great!
Our last look of the new bride and groom! Jack and Grant got to help decorate the car- they did a good job! Peggy and Thad are on a cruise to the western carribean- Casumel! They will be home sunday?
These three monkeys were having a great time watching all the chaos. And making chaos.
"Who, Me?" Yes you! Who else got married today! Cut the cake already!
Married! Our first look at the couple as they left the temple! You can't see in these pictures-(but as most of us know) the trees had so many blossoms! And the petals were falling so soft and pretty! I was awe-struck! What a gorgeous day!!! And a gorgeous bride! You're cute too, Thad!

Thadeus the NEW Uncle!!!
Every Monday in Allie's class they get 2 min. to talk about whatever they want (for several weeks she talked about how she was allergic to chocolate- not all chocolate, just hot chocolate. Not sure where that came from but I guess it made the kids laugh so she kept it up- week after week). This past Monday though, Allie talked about her NEW uncle who is so cool and wonderful! According to her teacher she went on and on about about how great he was. The teacher asked why he is so great and she said something like "Well, he married my aunt".
Enough said. :o) If Aunt Peggy chose him, he has GOT to be AWESOME!!! Because, as we all know, Aunt Peggy is pretty AWESOME herself.
WELCOME Uncle Thad!!!

This is a blog to all my in-laws. It is a blog to say thank you for loving me. After the wedding and all the weekend festivities, I had an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for all of you. Lately, I have been overwhelmed and amazed as I look back (and as I look presently) on those in my life who chose to not "turn away" from our pain when Lucy died. It is not an easy thing to face, and the repercussions of that loss and the on-going pain mean complicated emotions and behavior for me. So I wanted to thank you for being patient and kind with me. Thank you for loving and supporting me and Vic. It is no secret that I get overwhelmed when the entire family gets together. After seven years of marriage I am still trying to adjust. And since becoming a mother, going through such a huge trauma, and trying to re-adjust and learn who I am again, I know I can whine and complain about my lack of sleep and other areas of my life. In truth, I know I am very blessed and am so grateful you are my family. I know Vic loves and needs each of you. He keeps so much locked up inside in order to put on his armor everyday and go fight for our family. So thank you for being a light in his life as well, especially when I am unable to give him light myself sometimes.
I had such a great time at the wedding dinner, going on a run with Kristyn, hosting some of you at our home, walking around Temple Square, and gorging myself in the chocolate and cheese fountains. (They should make life-size fountains of that stuff in public parks...). Peggy was beyond beautiful, and Peter had the time of his life with all the cousins.
Sassy and different as my background may be, I still love you all.

Happy Birthday Paul!
You are a guy who could save the galaxy if you weren't too busy with other projects.

Family, Hope your having a great week. Vanita has come up with an idea to help me with Grandma. She suggested that we write our memories down and tell them to her now, not at the funeral. Grandma has a hard time remembering the good in her life. On those down day I could read a letter to her and be able to let her see the better side. Its hard being old. What you think now stays with you- so family make your thoughts good. As you know, we all struggle with this. Our thoughts dictate what we do don't they and actually how we become who we are. Anyway, if you could think of things I would appreciate it. Love Mom

Congratulations Vic and Molly!
We are thrilled the concert turned out so well! Way to go! I guess Peggy didn't end up clogging (she told me she was helping out that night. When I asked her what she was going to do, she said taking tickets or something but if things got slow she would probably get up on stage and clog. Guess she didn't have to).
Seriously we are so so happy for you and proud of you and Vic and Lucy and Peter!
Now tell me, who was it really who commented about the concert that you had quoted on your blog? :)

Yea for Molly Jenkins!
Molly we loved your too short interview! Minus the name whoops, did they do right by you? Hopefully your concert will sell out with all those conservative listeners. We would go if we could and wish you the best of luck on stage. We're lucky just to say we know you!

Didn't want to post this on MY blog, but...
The other day Thacks tooted.
It reaked.
I told him, "Thacks, you REALLY need to hold in your toots. That is totally disgusting." To which he answered, "But mom, if I do that, then my hand stinks sooo bad!"
Do you love that story?! I think it's my favorite Thacker moment yet.
And maybe we get too much of a kick out of potty humor.

Bridal Shower Outakes
Got to love Molly! She found out the colors that were being used in the decorations for the shower, then she went out and bought a matching outfit (so cute) and then she would NOT stop dancing around with the decorations in hand. 
You'll notice Peter trying to get in on the dancing action. Not that kind of a party Peter! ;)
And then there is Vic. Caught red handed making out with a pot of melted chocolate.

Family Dinner and Hotel Deal
Dear Family,
We are having the family dinner at 6pm the night before the wedding (the 6th) at the Lion House. Nieces and Nephews are invited as well.
The Plaza Hotel right across the street from Temple Square is giving us a deal because of it, where we can get rooms for $65 a night. SO maybe instead of Staying at the Western Inn in SF that night, you can all stay closer to the actual wedding location.
(MOM and DAD, I will leave that up to you to book for everyone. Call Thad's Mom to get the info on how to do it)

Happy Valentines Day!
Wendy sent me a message on facebook, which reminded me of the way you celebrate valentines day. In Holand it isn't a big thing. Kids may send each other cards, and the restaurant are packed, but other than that...
