Happy Holidays!

I just wanted to post a few pictures of Jake and I's first Christmas being married. We decided to buy a small artificial tree this year. I need to learn how to decorate better ... but we're happy with it. Here is the tree!

These are some cute home-made ornaments my mother made me last Christmas ... they are so cute!! Thanks Mom!!

Turkey Day

We spent Thanksgiving up at Jake's grandma's house. Jake's grandfather ... Grandpa Brown unfortunately passed away on November 6th. It was a sad time, but I am so glad I had the opportunity to get to know him for the time I did. He was an amazing man and left a wonderful legacy behind. Grandma Brown put on a fabulous Turkey dinner and Jake and I stuffed ourselves. His grandma always has fun games and it's just a good time visiting with all the other relatives. Later that night we drove out to my brother's house to see my dad and other family members that were there visiting. It was a lot of fun to just talk and then start taking ridiculous pictures of each other.

I was trying to have a serious picture with Jake for our first Thanksgiving being married - but these are how they turned out.

And here is a cute one of Jake with Ava.

Jake's 30th Birthday

Jake turned 30 on November 5th ... finally catching up to me. I'll enjoy these few months when we're the same age. I had a birthday party for him at Red Robin and it was a blast. His family was there and tons of his friends came to celebrate. Good times!!

Our Wedding - June 22, 2007

~Jake and I got married on June 22, 2007~

It was a beautiful day! It was hot - 100 degrees - doing pictures outside was very enjoyable if you know what I mean :) We had so much fun that day just celebrating our marriage and being able to have our families and close friends be a part of it. We got married at the SLC Temple and it was a really wonderful ceremony. Our wedding dinner and reception was up at the Point Restaurant in the Huntsman's Cancer Institute. Everything went pretty well - except the manager of the Point was a jerk at the end, but we'll just let that go. The whole day went by way too fast and there were so many people we wish we could have spent more time visiting, but I am sure they understand. Here are some pictures from the our engagement shoot, bridal shoot, and wedding day shoot. ENJOY!! Thanks to everyone that was a part of the wedding. It really meant a lot to us to have you here with us.
