Miner Family

We felt a trip to the lake was just the thing to help Taryn relax before her big day. The kids all had a good time tubing, and even the guys got out for some rough riding! Taryn and I insisted on having a ride similar to the kids, at maybe just a little faster pace. We ended up getting more of a ride than we bargained for from my Dad. Let's just say we might have gotten the best air of the day! Syrell and Tate were quite the love birds on the boat. We are excited for another wedding coming up soon!

We had such a good time at Taryn and Russell's wedding. Although it ends up being quite a long day throughout all the wedding festivities, Tyson and Elise held up fairly well. Tyson found his favorite hang out spot at the candy favors station. He and his cousin Brody were on a sugar high basically the entire night. It was fun having an inter-ward marriage because we basically got to see the entire Tempe South Stake at the reception. Who would have thought that the neighbor boy down our street would end up winning Taryn's heart! We are excited for them, although the military life will end up taking them far away from us most of the time.

Elise is officially one! She is starting to walk all over the place and loves to wave and say "hello" to everyone. She is becoming quite the social butterfly. Ironically, her first word was "uh-oh." It is something she must hear from me a lot! I have to admit it is so much fun getting cute outfits for little girls and dressing them up. I decided to go with a cupcake theme...thus, the reason for our matching shirts. It was fun having all her aunts, uncles and cousins around to celebrate the special occasion.
