a story of five: Oregon - Keith's wedding and Cannon Beach

I am finally back home and feeling a bit lonely without Jeremy since he no longer works from home now :'( but it gives me time to blog and catch up on photos from the trip. We drove to Oregon Thursday for Keith and Lindsay's wedding on Friday. It was so nice to get to go back to the Temple where we were married, it was the first time in 6.5 years. Our family has changed a lot in those years and we are so happy.

Weddings are exhausting stuff lol

Such a beautiful day with this adorable couple, so glad we were there

Kaitlyn wanted to wipe up her own face after the luncheon, funny girl

At the reception! I made Kaitlyn's dress by altering a pattern I used for Tina's wedding. Only people who sew will understand how hard that soft stretchy lace is to work with and I created sleeves from scratch. She looked beautiful and we got tons of compliments between all the weddings.

Racing to the car, we weren't able to stay long at the reception because my poor kids were still exhausted from the drive the night before

This little girl loves her daddy

Aiden was running away from the troll under the bridge haha

Hotel room silliness

The next morning we said goodbye to my siblings who had to head back home and we went with my parents to Cannon Beach

It was both the kids' first time at a real beach (instead of the manmade lake beaches in Utah) and they both loved it. I miss the beach so much it hurts and I told Jeremy someday he needs to move us closer to a beach. I fell in love with Oregon, it has everything I love about Washington without the traffic :P I told Jeremy when we are magically rich and famous I want one of the gorgeous homes in Lake Oswego Oregon and a condo at Cannon Beach :P

Daddy was determined to coax her into the water

She was not too keen on the idea and fought it with all she had haha. In her defense this was a river running into the ocean so it was colder water and it was in the 60s outside so it was pretty chilly.
