Playing Ketchup!

I have been lagging on my blogging lately. There has been a few things I have been meaning to document, just haven't gotten around to yet.

A few weekends ago, when we actually had no weddings to attend, Haws and I decided to go on a date out in LA, go to the ring place where he bought my engagements and wedding ring, attend the Temple and hit up the restaurant Ketchup I have been wanting to go to since my birthday. It is definitely not a place to go with a big group (they charge and arm and a leg for parties over 7, which is ridiculous!) but it was a lot of fun and the food was great!

I forgot my camera... so these are some shots from Haws' camera. He discovered this new feature where you can put a pic in a bubble. It's cheesy, so I had to post it.

Haws patiently waited for his food while checking out "the scene".

He was going for the "I've had a hard day at work... I am ready to let loose" look.
The place served 5 different kinds of ketchup... yum yum. I love Ketchup!!!

The Manhattan Clam chowder was delicious!
Haws got the Sloppy Joe. It was very sloppy.

Bang Help

So as you can see... Chelcie cut me bangs. I loved the way they looked when she styled my hair, but now that I have to do my hair myself I can't get them to stay put! Any advice for me? I have never been good in the "hair styling" department. Mainly because I hate to take the time to do it.

Ahhhh just chop it!

After growing my hair out for my wedding and enjoying the ease of putting it back in a pony tail/ bun... I have decided to go back to the short hair. I have always loved short hair, but was trying to see how long I could get it to grow. It seemed like it was not making much progress, so I decided to chop it off again. Funny... my Aunt had just commented on how it was looking so long!

I think I may even go a little shorted next time. Thanks Chelcie for doing such a great job, as always :)

Not the best pics. But this is usually what I look like after working all day and I had to take the pictures myself since I wasn't telling Haws about the new style. He tells me he really likes it.

I tried to smile in this one... but I felt kind of funny smiling for myself. I like the mug shots better.

Praise to the Man. President Gordon B. Hinckley, Dies at 97

Our beloved Gordon B. Hinckley, President of The Church of Latter Days Saints, died tonight. He was 97 and died at his home in Salt Lake City of "old age". I love this man. He has been such a positive influence for good in this world and has been an amazing leader of our church. He will be missed by many, but I am happy for him to leave this world and join his wife and companion in life here after. I wonder what he is doing right now. I am sure he is finding ways to keep busy :)

Stop... Wedding time Part II

Lindsey and I had the honor of joining the girls the night before the wedding and the morning of, to help Laura get ready. With the help on some Ambien and Rochelle (hair and makeup girl)... Laura was a well rested, beautiful bride! I wouldn't expect anything less.
Here she is... all smiles! I failed to get a picture of her and Josh through out the whole wedding. If anyone got a shot of them... please send it my way.

The fab five back again. Gotta send this one to Mr. Boyd

I found this little angel under my table. Ben and Emily's daughter Charlotte is the cutest! The Davis Clan Couples (minus Dana and Chase :( )

Brad and Kori surprised our table with some big news! I am not going to mention it here... but will let Kori do the announcing. http://bradandkoridavis.blogspot.com/
They started it!

I did capture one of my favorite moments of the wedding. The mother-son dance. Laura and Conrad had a little moment together before she headed off for a week to Hawaii.


Once again... Haws was a dance machine and totally tuckered out by the time we left the wedding. Good thing Lindsey was my shotgun!

Wedding Time Part I

Oh yeah... it's wedding time! Since Christmas, we have had a wedding every weekend! It has been wedding madness! With all this madness though has come many opportunities to celebrate the joining of some of our favorite people as well as see many old friends and have a great time! I have been such a slacker about posting some of these events... I kept waiting until I got better shots to share, but this is all I got. I hope it represents well enough... but it was hard to capture the beauty of it all.

Chelcie and Bronson outside the Newport Temple. I love this picture because of the rays of light. Kind of appropriate for the event :)Brett with some of his beautiful daughters. Dana is pretty much part of the family. I loved the bridesmaid dresses! I think they are ones that will actually get some use out of them after the wedding.
Cutting up the rug! Haws really was a dance machine that night. I even had to take a break (after having my foot stepped on by a high heel) and leave him to dance alone. Nothing was going to stop him!
