Kelsey and Taylor's wedding

 Kelsey and Taylor were married this past Saturday, September 15, 2012.  It was a great day.  They got married at 9:45 in the morning.  It was beautiful.  These pictures are from the pre-wedding pictures the week before.

 This picture was to show off her cute shoes.  White sparkle Tom's.

 We had a luncheon at 12 which was great.  The McCleary's did a great job putting on a fun dinner and program.

 Kelsey wanted to look like a princess.  I think she does.  Her flowers were so pretty.

 Bruce Barnes took the pictures.  He always does a great job.

 The reception was at Stonebridge Manor.

 She's so pretty

 I love her dress.  When she first put it on we knew that this was the dress.

It was a great day and night.  Hopefully everyone had a great time.

Summer is over

 We had a rain storm and at first Brooklyn was afraid to go out in the rain with Savanna.  She would only watch Savanna from the porch but after awhile she went out in the rain and had a blast.  It was so funny.

 All wet!  By the way, Savanna got braces.

 School has started.  It started August 8th.  Jake is a senior.  He is student body president.  All of the student council had to wear Mesa High shirts the first day of school so freshmen could ask them for help.

 Jaycie is a sophomore .  She mad the JV volleyball team.  She is in student council too.

 Aren't they cute?!!

 Savanna started Jr. High.  She is at Taylor Jr. High.  Crazy I know.  She is in 7th grade.  So far she is really liking it.

 Cami Cole, Cassie Cole, Allison Stahle and Savanna going to the first day of school

 August 15th was Kason's 26th birthday.

 We all pitched in and gave him a BBQ.  He was totally surprised.

My Aunt Iris and Aunt Ruth were in town visiting my mother.  We got to see them a few times when they were here.  My Dad, My Mom, Aunt Ruth, Aunt Iris, and Uncle Ernie.

Engagement Pictures

 Here's a few of Taylor and Kelsey's engagement pictures

 They took them last weekend when Kelsey went up to Utah for her birthday.

 Yes, she is now 21!!!   This one is my favorite.

 Cute!

 Margo did a great job.  There are so many good pictures it is going to be hard to pick.

Having the pictures taken in Utah was smart.  Look how pretty everything is.  Wedding is getting closer.  They have been engaged for a month now.  WOO WOO!

Savanna

Savanna graduated from elementary school!!  No more elementary!  We figured it out and we have been at Porter for 18 years.  Kali went to kinder. at a different school.  So, our 6th and last has graduated from elementary school.  I would put up a picture but I am having down loading troubles.  She received the MASA award, which is the highest award at the school.  Porter held a 6th grade graduation and everything.  She walked across the stage and received a promotion certificate.  It was a lot of fun.  Congrats Savanna you are amazing.  By the way, Kelsey and Taylor have chosen their wedding day, September 15th.  WOO WOO !!!!

Kelsey's Engaged

 Kelsey got engaged today.  Taylor flew in from Utah and popped the question.  This is him waiting for her to get to the temple.  He sent her all over Mesa to fun places picking up a red rose and the next clue.

 She was so funny.  She went running up to him and gave him this big hug even before he asked.  They hadn't seen each other for 3 weeks.

 The big question?!

 The happy couple.

 She said "YES"

 The RING

 THE big KISS

2 dozen  roses.  It was a great day.  Thanks to Taylor for letting the whole family help.  Congrats to Kelsey and Taylor.

 I thought you would want to see the cool decorations from Jake's prom.  Isn't that cool?!

That's the DJ's area.

May Happenings

 Volleyball for Jake has come to an end for the season.  The Mesa High Boys Volleyball had a great season.

 Jake is #5.  They mad it to state.  They had to play 2 games in one night.  They beat the first team from Tucson, Canyon Del Oro.  The second team was Hamilton.  They were ranked #1.  Mesa played well and they went all 5 games but lost by 3 in the 5th game.  boo

 On Friday May 4th, Karissa graduated from ASU.  This is her on the Jumbo screen.  Look at her name.
