We went to my cousin Shane's wedding in Salt Lake City this past weekend. It was a really good time. I am so happy for Shane and Jessica, they are so cute together!! She is from Peru, but they met each other in a singles ward in Utah. We met her for the first time the day before the wedding and she is the sweetest girl!! She and her family welcomed all of Shane's family into theirs with open arms. They got sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple.....they did the ceremony in both English and Spanish....which was pretty awesome.
We wanted to surprise Shane with having our Grandpa Luthi there right after they got married, both Shane and Jessica were under the impression that he wouldn't be able to make it until the reception later that night. But...we are so sneaky and surprised both of them!! It was a wonderful thing to experience.....EVERYONE was crying once Shane saw grandpa.....it was so neat. Jessica is so sweet, when she found out that Grandpa was there, she dropped what she was doing and ran to meet him....these are the pics I got during the glorious event. It was bitter-sweet that day, Grandpa had made it to the wedding of Shane and Jessica, but my sweet Grandma was there in spirit and we felt her so very close that day!! If you read this Shane, I know that Grandma is so very proud of you, of all of you accomplishments in life and is so excited for you to start your life with your new bride. Jessica, welcome to our family.....we are so lucky and blessed to have you be apart of it!!
This pic was snapped by Dustin. He had put Bryson in the jumper and left the room for just a minute and when he got back, this is what he found. Poor little man. He was ASLEEP!! He loves to jump, that he tires himself out!! It was so funny!!
While we were in SLC, we had to take advantage of my parents hotel swimming pool. This was Bryson's first time swimming. We didn't stay in very long, because the water wasn't that warm. Poor little guy was shivering so bad when we got him out....all the thanks goes to Grandma Brown for getting him back to the "heated" room to dry off and change him into dry clothes while Dustin, Alecia, Dad, and my sister's roommate, Jessica, got in the hot tub. (My mom, being the wonderful grandma she is, had cranked the heat up before we went to the pool so that when we got back, it would be super warm...way to be pro-active mom!! Thank you so much!!!
