22!

Ive had Taylor Swift in my head ALL weekend long... but yes! I am 22 now..

I got to spend the weekend in Utah with my love. We went to Devins cousin Steven's wedding in the Jordan River Temple on Saturday and a reception that afternoon. Afterwards we went out to ice cream and pretty much threw up from being stuffed with meal after meal the entire 24 hours haha.

I just love weddings! Especially those i get to attend in the temple. The sealing power is real. And it is wonderful! Cant wait for more weddings this summer:)

(left to right: James, Alexia, me, Sophie, and William) 

Everyone meet the Hansbrows. I wish i had digital copies of pictures from 14 years ago when i met this sweet family. (it was a lot smaller back then, just alexia!) I fell in love with this little 6 month old baby girl when they moved into our ward. I was 9..what a weird thing for a 9 year old to love a baby?! 

But i did. 

Shes the reason for my chronic baby-itis.

From then on i spent the summers helping her mom (heather, pictured below) with daycare and hangin out/babysitting. Heather is an amazing photographer and took Dev and I's enagagement/wedding pictures, too.

I love this family. I always will!

Sunday we went outside to enjoy the beautiful weather. 

 Its so weird watching someone grow up. Im starting to get a sense of what its gonna be like to be a mother. Watching alexia get so old makes me feel old and i just want all my babies to stay little forever!!

 They were trying to catch the bubbles with their mouths.. haha.

 theres the crazy cat lady in her rocking chair!

 the kids wanted to do a spitting contest.. its so much more fun than youd think. haha. (devin came out at the 11th hour and dominated. stud.)

 i love this one. everyone is just so happy :) 

 James is always crackin jokes. Alexia goes by Lexi now..so we were team Lexi all weekend! :)

 always posing.

 Heather tried out a new pinterest idea...stacked ice cream sandwhiches covered in whipped cream.. it was DELICIOUS. just what i needed..more ice cream :) 

 this is my excited face.

thank you, heather, for marrying kevin and making these four beautiful children and for sharing them so willingly with me! You guys are a continuous example of love and patience and wonderful, amazing parents. 

This is what its all about, people. 

You know youre old when all you need on your birthday is a good day full of family, friends, and ice cream:) 

ps. Devin got us some long boards for my birthday! Cant wait till this wind stops blowin so we can use and abuse them!!
