Karissa Brown

Karissa married Barry yesterday. They were married at 1:30 pm. We had alot of friends and family there. It was great. A little hot but still a good day. Thanks to everyone who came. I'll post pictures later. I have a lot of cleaning up to do.

Big Day

Catching up again. I went to girls camp for 3 days. It was fun. Left early because Karissa had her prewedding pictures yesterday morning at 6am. We had to do it this early because of the heat but the heat still made her sick. Yes, in front of the temple entrance she was on her hands and knees in her wedding dress throwing up into the flower bed. Sad at the time but really funny now. She will have a great story to tell her children. We had to keep stopping and let her sit and drink water and fan her. Hopefully we still got some great pictures. Her and Barry looked beautiful anyway. Today she will be going to the temple for herself. Very exciting!! It's at 3 if you want to come.

catch up time

It's Friday night and I am home by myself. Rob is at a football meeting for Jake, Kelsey is at work lifeguarding, Jake is at the 9th grade end of the year dance, Jaycie and Savanna went to my parents house, and Karissa and Barry went to the movies so I thought I would catch up. With the end of school comes alot of programs. This is Jaycie at her band concert. She also directed one of the song that they played. I was really impressed with her directing skills.
Savanna had her concert too. Yes, on the same night. This is her friend Allison. She is enjoying playing the violin. This is her first year.
Jaycie and her friend Emily were inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. My niece Shelby was too.
Taylor had their awards night. Jaycie received two awards. Outstanding 7th grade reading and math.
Jake received two also. One for Scholarship. Meaning 4.o or better all 3 years at Taylor. He also received Taylor Top 9th grade boy. Everyone thought he should of gotten athlete of the year but I told everyone that his third sport was at Mesa High so they wont count it. In the year book all the kids voted him top athlete. He is amazing!!

Parents 65th Wedding Anny

My parents will celebrate their 65th Wedding Anniversary on May 2, 2010. They were married May 2, 1945. We had a party for them last night. It was a lot of fun. We had about 75 people there. We ate and by brother Gene gave a little information about their life. Karissa and I made a video of them and then we square dance alittle.
They have been a great example to me and I am so grateful they adopted me and had me be a part of their family. They are great parents and grandparents. Happy 65th Wedding Anniversary Mom and Dad!!!
