What a weekend! At 930am last Friday, we headed up to the Renton Stake Center to help decorate for the reception. Tyler had taken the day off to come help too (he's the best!). We decorated from 10-7pm......but it was SO worth it!!! The reception was beautiful!!! The kids mostly hung out in the nursery, playing, watching movies.....but every once in a while we'd hear them coming & they'd want to see how far we'd gotten or just RUN! The girls really liked to dance :), especially when the cousins from Utah got here at about 6pm if I am remembering right.Our boys were thrilled to play football outside with their Utah cousins, having mostly girl cousins here, they don't get that chance much at family gatherings here....lol.
The girls loving to pose - the stage was just too irresistable!
At 7pm we decided to take a break & the family went to dinner.....only after Justin climbed this tree to get the multiple pairs of shoes stuck in it........ it started with one shoe, then other shoes were thrown at it to try to get it down, only to get stuck! Too funny!
The wedding was beautiful! Megan & Taner are so loved - there were 59 people in attendance at their wedding, and that's not counting them or the Sealer! As soon as the wedding was over, we hurried to get the kids changed into their wedding attire.
Waiting for the Bride & Groom.......we have such handsome boys!
All the younger kids.........Grandma Goff made the girls green shrugs - this photo doesn't do them justice - they were beautiful!!! I heard someone ask where they bought them :)
The very Happy Couple!

The bridesmaids boquets - they were gorgeous!!!
Ella loved Megan's dress & kept taping her to get her attention.....of course Megan couldn't even feel it!
The ENORMOUS bridal party (minus Ella & Jersie-they were NOT cooperating for photo's).
The girls minus Ella & Jersie (again).
When we first came out of the Temple, to our surprise we found Carol & Paul and Catherine & Sundra - Grandma Goff's sisters & their spouses!!! It was so wonderful to see them! I know it meant so much to Judy (and the rest of us!!!!) - thank you for coming! It made the day perfect to have Judy's side of the family here too!
The boys...not sure what they were attempting....but they all thought they were pretty cool!
Ella......not being very modest on Temple grounds.........yup, that's our daughter!
Tucker joked that Megan's feet really smelled.......Connor & Cannon just trying to be cool. They were obsessed with having their hands in their pockets!
Mother & Daughter - Mel looked beautiful!!!
Yeah, no more money left, lol......Daddy & D
Ron (Taner's Dad) & Taner & Megan.........
My sweetheart Brae..........
Sibling time! Jared, Megan, & Carly (who is gorgeous by the way!!!)
Our sweet kids.........Uncle Sundra was a huge help with Ella - she LOVES him!
The funny pair....... Uncle Sundra is so sweet with Ella - he totally played with her the whole time......I remember him playing with Zach like this when he was Ella's age....
Grandma Manning & Grandma & Grandpa Goff
The Johnson Family with Taner..........
Back at the Renton Stake Center for the family luncheon.......
The Guest Book Table.........
The book I made Megan & Taner...........
So precious...........
The little girls got their boquets........
So now Ella was cooperating for photo's, but not Jersie.... :)
The boys being goofy!
Feeding each other cake...Megan had it all planned out :), Taner fed her first, got some on her nose, then she totally got him.........what she didn't expect was for Taner to retaliate!!! And retaliate he did - ALL OVER HER FACE!!!!
Cannon & Ella dancing - they were so cute together!!!
Brae & Connor helped with the gift table.......taking presents for people, we got so many compliments on how sweet they were... I saw Connor saying to people, "Excuse me, could I take that for you?".........they make Mom proud!
Lexi & Brae dancing..........they started off just holding hands.....and ended up dancing like the adults..........adorable!!!
Connor at the gift table...........the 2 of them would take turns taking breaks for food, punch, cake, and of course candy from the candy bar!
Ella really likes Tucker, Taner's little brother - he's fun!!!
Zach & Kaelynn ran the candy bar...............they did such a great job too!!!
It was a beautiful wedding, so many more photo's but you get the idea!!! Thanks to everyone who traveled here to share in their special day. Congratulations Megan & Taner - we love you!!!!

Ever have one of those busy days & you're just wiped out? Last Tuesday night, we had been running a bunch of errands - LATE, kids were tired, so Ty ran into the store to grab something on the way home....he came out of the store with these..............................I have the best husband!
Wednesday we got to have Jared come stay with us.....the boys LOVE having their cousins over! I asked Jared what he wanted for dinner - Pasta of course!
They played hard as usual, flag football, scooters & bikes, jumping on the trampoline, DS's, Wii,...the list goes on!
On a totally random note......I love the lavendar in our front yard, along the walkway.....I can be so hard on it, hack it back almost to the dirt, and this is how huge it is so far......

Celebrating amazing report cards, we went to dinner at Mazatlan here in Bonney Lake. We have been SO busy lately, that this was the first chance we had to go! Both Zach & Brae did so well, getting amazing comments from their teachers & improving in ALL areas on their report cards!YUMMY!
Good thing they have hot dogs for Connor......he just isn't that into Mexican food unless we make them at home..
It's always so nice to spend an evening together as a family......
The best part of dinner was of course dessert! Flan is a favorite of all 6 of ours.....Ella even licked the plate!

Saturday was such a special day in our family. Megan took out her endowments at the Temple. We are so grateful for such an awesome extended family! Ty's parents, his 4 siblings, and all their families live in the area......and all are active, Temple worthy members of the Church. We know how lucky we are. It was such a blessing to get to attend the Temple with everyone that night. I am so grateful for the Gospel. It's so crazy to think some non-members think badly of this wonderful place. Nothing bad happens here. How I wish my family could understand that. We are truly blessed as members of the Church. I don't know how non-members get through the tough times in life without the Gospel. It has gotten me through so much!

It's crazy that next Saturday Megan & Taner are getting married! Megan, we're so proud of the person you are, for the right choices you have made through out your life! Thank you for including us in your special day!
