Steph and Kevan's Wedding

It was a gorgeous sunny day! The ceremony was tender and sweet! 

The couple was beaming all day long! Steph's dress was amazing!  

And the venue for the wedding reception was spectacular! 

Stephanie looked so happy!

 It was such a beautiful day and everything was perfect!

We were so happy that we could share this special day with Stephanie and Kevan!

Brooke and Steph.  
Best cousins, best friends and soon-to-be teammates on the BYU XC team!

This is what it looks like to have 17 bridesmaids!

And yes, it is difficult to get all 17 bridesmaids to look right at the camera at the same time:)!

The cute Holt cousins bridesmaids!

Brooke and Ashley thought it was funny that they matched Justin more than Allie did, 

so they had to get a picture with him.

Cute bridesmaids!

Brooke, the designer of this pom pom creation!

Love this photo with Steph and her 17 beautiful bridesmaids!

The sign in book.

The gift table.

Brooke was in charge of creating the candy bar station or "Sweet Shoppe."

The darling flower girls loved the "sweet shoppe!"

They served ice cream from the BYU Creamery. 

Check out the beautiful backdrop to the ice cream station.

Can you believe that this is someone's backyard?!!

It was unbelievably gorgeous!

The newlyweds are enjoying the wedding reception.

Proof that Brooke did indeed sit down for a moment that night.

She also caught the bouquet.  Hmmm!  I think I'm in trouble. 

 Ashley caught the bouquet at Allie's wedding 

and Brooke caught the bouquet at Steph's.

I told both of them, "Don't even think about it!!  I need a break from all these weddings!"

Mom and Ashley enjoying the chocolate covered strawberries.

Allie, Justin and Brooke are decorating the "get away truck" with pom poms, ribbons and cans.  Cute!

Congratulations, Steph and Kevan!  We love you!

Steph and Kevan's Wedding Dinner

Now that Allie and Justin are married, we are on to the next family wedding, Steph and Kevan's.

Although I haven't posted Allie and Justin's photos from their wedding...

 I'm still working on organizing all of them... Yikes! maybe it will happen before Ashley gets married... 

I better hurry... I mean, Ash did catch the bouquet:)!

Until then, here are some of my favorites from Steph and Kevan's wedding dinner last week. 

 Kevan and Steph are so happy and so in love.  They are absolutely adorable together!

Steph is seriously one of the cutest bride-to-be ever!

She looks so happy, smiling from ear to ear!
What a fun night!

Newport Beach

We took the "little girls" down to Newport Beach for a little vacation. 

 We had a wonderful time with Ashley and Brooke.

 Lots of beach time, lots of yummy food and maybe a little too much sun... 

but hey, a little sunburn always makes me feel like I'm a teenager again, 

who forgot to put on enough sunscreen.  So right after I finish this post,

 I will be applying the aloe vera but yeah, it was definitely worth it!

First stop, lunch at Ruby's right above the beach at Crystal Cove.

Ashley and Brooke are liking the view of the beach from the outside patio!

Dad is looking good in his new shirt that he got for Father's Day!

Ashley and Brooke ordered a chili hot dog and fries.  Yum!

While Dad and Brooke are running on the beach, 

Ashley and I are doing out own "work out" at the Huntington Beach Farmer's Market, 

shopping and eating mini donuts... what?!!

Ashley and I think the donuts are pretty great!

The next morning, we rented bike's on the beach while Brooke went running.

Check out the volume in Brooke's hair as she is running on the beach.

Ash is liking the tandem bike thing and gives it two thumbs up.

Ashley shows how much she loves riding a tandem bike 
and don't forget... how much she loves America!

Ash, still loving the tandem, America and riding alongside her Bear.

We turned around at Huntington Beach and stopped for a moment to take a picture.

And then The Bear was off running again...

and Ash continued showing her enthusiasm and excitement
 for a bicycle built for two.

But then, Dad decided to run with Brooke, and Ash was left to go solo 
on the bicycle built for two and she was a little bit lonely.

Dad and his bear run the last mile together side by side.

Brooke finished her run and is taking a rest on the six seater bicycle.

Posing with Mom and her cruiser bike.

After our lovely workout on the beach, we have worked up a nice appetite 

and head for a little mexican restaurant by the beach.

My nachos.  Yum!

Now that we have finished our workout and enjoyed a nice lunch,

it's time to hit the beach.

Dad and his cute girls.

The little girls.

Striking another pose minus Dad and I had to take another picture.

Then a nice man came and offered to take a picture of all of us together.

Dad enjoying the waves.

And everyone thinks Ash is the drama queen in the family!

The Crandall family was vacationing down in Carlsbad,

 so one night we drove down and joined the family for dinner and s'mores on the beach.

The cute sister-in-laws, Jenna and Kimber.

Ashley and Brett chatting it up.

Dennis, Laura, Kurt, Mark, Brett and Ashley enjoying the view of the beach from their deck.

Posing for a picture with Brett and Kimber before we head back to Newport Beach.

We hung out at the pool the next day and just relaxed, listened to music and read our books and magazines. 

Brooke is working on getting rid of her funny tan lines from all of her workout clothes.

We had dinner at a local favorite, Sabatino's that night.

Dad ordered the famous Sizzling Sausage.

Dad thought the homemade sausage was amazing and would highly recommend it!

Brooke loved her dish of ravioli!

The Sabatino Family is so nice and baked me a cake for my birthday!

It was absolutely delicious!

Mom, Dad and the little girls celebrating my birthday with the Sabatino family!

Me and my cake!

We love birthday celebrations...

almost as much as Ashley loves America and vacationing with Mom and Dad at Newport Beach!
