Raegan's New Haircut

Events. . . . .
My Aunt Carol (my mom's sister) and I went to a concert together on the 11th honoring 09/11/2001. She picked me up from my parents house in the pouring rain and had an umbrella ready for me. During the concert, we were both in tears. It was an amazing preformance! Afterwards, she and I went out for a whopper at Burger King. She and I sat there for an hour or more on a rainy sunday night, and she just listened to me talk about my experiences living in Arizona. It meant to much to me to have her spend that quality time with me.
Uncle Ken (my dad's brother) came to the temple wedding. His wife wasn't able to make it. I haven't seen him in such a long time. He is a great person! I was very very close to his mom (my grandma) and he resembles her so much. She passed away 2 1/2 years ago and it was very hard on me. I loved her so much and still do! Anyway, when I saw him a flood of emotions surfaced and my eyes swelled up with tears. He was looking at me thinking, "well what's wrong with her?" I told him and he got a little teary-eyed too. He said, "well, that's something else that I got from her - the tears that come so easily!" He is such a positive and kind person.
At Nate and Kate's Luncheon, there was a program Nate had at everyone's setting. He graduated in Digital Media and was able to whip this up the night before. You opened it up and on the inside was typed up "101 reasons why I love Kate". It was what he had read to her when he proposed. She is an amazing person! It's sweet, funny, and inspiring what he says. I am so glad that they both compliment each other so well. I was pretty much crying the whole trip to Utah. Happy tears. I am close to my brother and he has been there for me in the hardest times in my life. I have a very special connection with Kate, too. It was such a happy time!! I love and am grateful for my family.

When Nate and Kate came out of the temple after they were married, we were all outside waiting for them. When they walked out, he bent Kate over and gave her a huge kiss. It was so darling!

The bouquet. I love arranging flowers and my favorite event is wedding flowers. But, I sometimes let my nerves get ahead of me and freak out! I was scared that I wasn't good enough. I've done quite a few weddings but never for someone I knew until this wedding and another one in July. I did it though! And I think it turned out amazing!

I made the arrangements at my parent's house in Utah the night before the wedding and then stuck them all in their second fridge to keep them cool.
This is what the before picture looks like.

Cory and Easton. I love when they take naps together. It's so cute! My sweet boys! I have the most selfless husband. He stayed home with the kids so I could go out to Utah for the wedding. I wish he could have come, but it would have been too expensive to fly us all out there. And, I was stressed about wanting the flowers to be perfect (which is ridiculous, I know. I just need a little bit more experience under my belt and then I won't get so nervous). I missed Cory and the kids so much. Although, it's always healthy to have some "you-time". I am a big believer in that! You feel so refreshed when you get back. Especially when you're a stay-at-home mom. It's always priceless to see my kids fun as fast as they can when they see me at the airport. It is one of the BEST experiences to have as a mom. These two little munchkins just trying as hard as they can to get to me as fast as they can. I always try to keep myself calm so I don't overkill infront of all the other passengers getting off the plane. But, once I see those kids. . . . they're all I see. I speedwalk to them though. And I love love seeing my handsome husband. But he doesn't get attention from me and vis versa until the kids are home and in bed. Otherwise, they'd just be screaming and jealous.

Random Photo's #3
Raegan is a sweet older sister and likes to hold her brother's hand when we drive.
There is a fountain at the mall in Arizona that the kids are always begging to jump in. I felt so bad one day when it was 115 degrees and I took them to the mall with me. They were
sweating when we left so, I let them jump in with their clothes on. We got a lot of weird look but, they were two happy kids!
I uploaded a bunch of pictures from my phone and had this one on it from Easton's first bday.
I flew into Utah last minute for my brother's wedding. There was NO room for me anywhere.
So, I cleared some boxes in my mom's craft room and made me my own cozy bed. I was very proud of myself!
My bestest friend in the whole wide world, Chelsey and her darling baby girl, Carmen. I LOVE these two!
My kids with their little white bottoms. It's 2 a.m.
Funny Story: So, my youngest sister, Natalie/Noodle/Splat/Stretch/Rat-a-tat/Stroodle/Nat, left for college last week which is 3 hours away. My mom told me I could stay in her room while I'm visiting. She said she hadn't been in it yet because it would be too hard for her. So, for the past couple of days, I've been trying to think of the best way to get her in there. The idea was perfect and it worked perfectly! Mom was in bed upstairs and I was in Nat's room Downstairs. I called my mom's cell phone and told her I was downstairs and was pretty sure that I broke my toe. I was fake "freaking out". She said, "I'll be right down" and then hung up. While she was on her way down, I called Nat. Mom came in and said, "let me look at it." I just started laughing and cheering, "YOU DID IT MOM! YOU CAME IN NAT'S ROOM!" Then I handed her the phone and Natalie congratulated her. It was hilarious! I've never been hit so hard by mom, though!

Rachael's side of the family.
Most of the Seegmiller Clan. I think we're just missing Cory, Raegan, Easton, and Amber. That's a pretty good turn-out.
Eric and Mom.
Rachael and her Grandma. I LOVED how Rachael's bouquet turned out. She made it even more beautiful!
Rachael's Aunt was the photographer and was so sweet to take good pictures of the flowers for me. I need to start working on a portfolio!
Little sister, Alisa, did the sign-in book and it looked fabulous!!!!!

I love hydrangea's
We did all sorts of varieties of flowers. I would have liked to do more but, when I showed up to the floral wholesale business, they only have a few of what I'd ordered. But, I think it turned out great. We used white tulips, stock, hydrangea, freesia, roses, rananculus, small gerbers, snapdragons, buttons poms, lisianthis, and bupleurum. I would have loved to also have dahlia's, peonies, and monte casino. I can't wait to do more weddings in the future! When my little ones are older :)

They were sealed for time and all eternity in the Provo, Utah Temple. I am so grateful that I was able to be there.
