Wedding and long awaited visit!!

The day after we got home from Utah Clint's twin brother, Clay, and his wife Allison came from Maryland for a visit. It was so exciting cause we haven't seen them in almost 3 years. Also exciting, was that same weekend, Clint's brother, Kourtney, married his long time girlfriend, Christen. It was a busy, fun weekend full of activities, dinners, and lots of visiting! The wedding was nice and Clay and Allison have gone home now, but we miss them horribly! Can't wait til after christmas when they come again! Here's some fun pics of the weekend and the wedding! (sorry some of them are blurry... bummer)

We all met at Kolby and Janine's house on Wed night about 9pm to welcome Clay and Allison and visit for a little while. LtoR: Kourtney, Dad, Clint, and Clay
Clay and Carson: Carson did pretty well over the weekend figuring out who his daddy was. There were a few mistakes when Clint and Clay weren't together but other than that, I was impressed. haha.
haha. This is the remnants of Dad's week old black eye from an elbow in basketball. Funny face, huh?
Thursday morning Clay went with Clint on a ride along at work, and us gals went out to lunch together! It was so fun! I LOVE girls days. We went out to Town Square and had lunch at Claimjumpers and then window shopped for a while. It was HOT, but it was still fun. :)
Back row LtoR: Bec, Christen, Janine, Allison, Jeni, Stephanie
Front row LtoR: Ashley, Rochelle, Me, and Mom
That's one good group of sister in laws right there! haha

Thursday night we had a couples date night. We went to Buca De Beppos, which was so cool, cause we all got to sit together in the "Pope room" at a huge round table. Perfect visiting atmosphere. Then we went to Neilsen's Frozen Custard for dessert and then to our house to visit some more!! Yay for family!!
Couples LtoR: Kelly and Ashley (and Layla), Mom and Dad, Keith and Jeni, Kourt and Christen, Clay and Allison, Clint and Me, Kayden and Stephanie
In front: Bec and Dave
WOW! Our family is getting big! I love it!!
Friday morning we did coed basketball and volleyball up at a church in Boulder City. It was a lot more fun than i thought it was going to be. I know in this pic Allison is the only girl playing, but really Bec, Shelly, and I all played too. I think in this pic is Kelly, Keith, Clay, Kourt, Alli, Clint, CJ and Kyler. ..... I think. haha.
The little boys wanted to get in on the action too. Mack, Carson, and Z had a blast playing ball on the stage.
Z shootin'
Carson shootin'
Saturday afternoon Clint and I and the kids and Clay and Allison went to lunch at In and Out Burger. Emma and I left early to go to her school open house. Clint went with Clay and Allison afterwards to meet up with Kelly and hit golf balls at the driving range. He had a total blast and now can't wait to play a round with the brothers. haha.
Saturday night we had a family pre-wedding family dinner (with Christen's family too) at Mission Hills park. It was perfect for a bbq. It was relaxed and after dinner the kids could go play at the water park.

To finish off the weekend a lot of us went to Mom and Dad's ward where Kolby and Janine spoke in sacrament mtng and Clint, Clay, Keith, and Kayden sang a beautiful arrangement of "Love at Home". Sunday evening everyone came over to our house to visit and play games and eat leftover desserts from the wedding. It was a lot of fun with lots of laughter! It was kinda the goodbye event for Clay and Allison too cause Monday morning Clint and I took them to the airport :( so sad.
I decided to throw these cute pics of Kayden and Steph and Izaak in there too from Sunday night.... just because they are all so adorable! :)

great recap of the weekend. glad you got pictures of bela walking down the isle too because me, like an idiot, sat on the outside row now even thinking i wouldnt see her.

Allison said...

It was a fun weekend and great to see everyone. I think my favorite part was playin' ball Friday morning! And stayin up late at the Benson's! Of course, I loved more than that, but those times stand out in my mind. The whole time was such a nice break from some of our responsibilities, so I just loved being free in that way.
