The Reception!

My brother Mike is trying to beat Josh up and the bride and groom are laughing. My family is a little weird. They get it from me.

Rachel giving her newly married Uncle a hug!

Two old married men talk about life. Ben is completely zoned out.

My adorable sister and moi!

Katrina Elizabet, almost 8 years old!

Benjamin Jared, just turned 6!

"OK, if I ignore my Grandpa, will he go away?!"

"Ewww, ignoring Grandpa is NEVER an option!"

My parents and their 7 grandkids (only 1 is taller than my mom . . . but not for long!!)

The reception was on a beautiful golf course. Matthew & Josh took a walk with Aunt B before the party was over!

Dan & Madi's Wedding

It was such a joy to attend the sealing for time and all eternity, of my baby brother Daniel and his lovely wife, Madison on May 15th in St. George, Utah.

It was also wonderful to see my beloved sister, Briana, home from Italy. We have a similar picture of us kissing Dan when he left on his mission. This might be the last time we show him this much affection!

I love this new sister! Isn't she gorgeous? And the most darling thing, EVER!

This pic reminds me of the feelings I felt on my wedding day . . . the feelings of innocence and how much I adored Damian. It epitomizes the feeling I had of leaving my parents and my old life and clinging to my husband and new life. I love it. Very sweet.

My Emma is only 5 years younger than Madi. A little weird to think that in 5 years this COULD be Emma (If she meets someone as awesome as Dan, and is as mature as Madi). That's a BIG IF . . .

Ben was in a BAD mood by this time. He'd been having his pictures taken for about 2 hours and it was HOT! This is the bride and groom with all the Goold Grandkids!

Benny's Soccer

Ben as Goalie. I love this puny little goal.

Damian and the coach (in the red jacket) played against all the boys, while they waited for the opposing team to show up. Mostly the little boys just kicked Damian in the shines to get the ball away from him.

Love this picture, Ben was having so much fun!

I love that Ben runs with his hands all funky and his tongue out.

Hands, tongue again.

Fists curled, tongue out again!

The two cutest fans on the field!

Too cute!

Emma's Honors Night

Emma, 3rd from left, and some of her cute friends at Scenic Middle School's Honors Night. Emma has a 4.0 for the second year of middle school. She's such a hard worker and so smart!

Em with Paige Berriochoa, the two Basque Girls at the school (that I know of!)

Em with Kayleigh Lowder. I pick Kayleigh up every morning and Emma walks to her house after school each day.

Em with Ashley Hegler

This is my favorite pic of the night. These girls are TOO cute with their hot little shoes and nail polish. Emma's shoes are purple.

Emma in the middle of a cell phone pic!

These girls are too cute!

We all went to DQ to celebrate after the ceremonies.

On the car ride home, the girls basically acted psychotic and it was hilarious.

Table Rock in the Rain

I've gone on MANY Field Trips up Table Rock, but this was MY first time in the RAIN! It was really fun to be with Katrina.

We hiked with Katrina's 2nd grade class and a 4th grade class that does a "reading buddy" program with Katrina's class. It was sweet to see the 4th grade girls paired up with the younger girls and be their friends.
