Wedding of the year!!!!!

Okay, so my son jokingly admitted that he was slightly offended that he was not yet married on my blog. Since that happened in AUGUST, I was seriously motivated to overcome my technical difficulties and set the blogging record straight! I now have a beautiful and delightful new daughter, and we are thrilled beyond measure!!! Here they are! The newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Lowder!!! Thanks for bringing such love and joy into our family, darling Rachel!

Haley, wielding her power... :)

 

Wish we could always have her just like this....

 

The Paddington Bear hat is the cutest thing imaginable...

 

...on this little darling, anyway. :)

Bubbles with Grandpa!

 

On her throne...and DONE with shopping!

 

It's hard not to buy her everything in sight!

 

Some might consider her slightly spoiled...

 

The hats are where it's at!

 

Kev and Rachel packed to the rafters and heading back to Utah...

 

Our little princess in her princess dress...

 

...bought for the wedding, but Daddy couldn't wait, and let her wear it to church the very next day. :)

Yup. That's appropriate. :)

 

There's a story here. I'll tell it someday. :)

 

Shauna and her BFF helping out at the Open House

 

What can I say? She brings JOY to my heart...

 

Their Open House at our dear friend's home

 

My baby girls are so adorable!

 

Trying on a tux....the quick and easy way.

 

Her best friend...who is also her grandpa :)

 

My photo blocks for Kev and Rachel's wedding

 

On safari...or something....

 

A purse around the neck is just the thing.

 

Shopping with Aunty Shauna... :)

 

My BFF from High School...

 

If it looks like we're a little teary eyed, it's only because we are. :) After all these years (30!!!) it was so great to see her again.

Four generations of LOVE and Esplin-ness :)
