Wedding, Birthday and Conference

Whew, lots of fun crammed into one jam packed, family filled weekend.

To kick off the weekend we headed to Idaho Falls to witness the marriage of this beautiful couple.
We are so happy for Tosha and Logan and excited to have Logan join the family. It was a great day despite a few minor hiccups. Like it only raining when we were trying to take a few pictures outside of the temple, oh and the caterer for the wedding luncheon having the wrong day, no biggies :) But we made it through the day and the reception that night was BEAUTIFUL! Congrats again Logan and Tosha, we love you!

Due to extended family staying at Dillon's parent's house, we came back to our house that night to enjoy a restful nights sleep in our own bed after a busy busy day. Then it was up bright and early on my birthday to pack a bag and head back up to Shelley to spend the rest of the weekend. We got ready and Dillon let me open my presents from him before we headed out. He spoiled me with a fishing license, a few movies (including 'UP' YAY!!), some earrings, new tweezers and chocolate Reese's eggs :) I'm a lucky girl, thanks baby!We got to Dillon's parents house at the tail end of breakfast and the beginning of the first session of conference. It was so fun to spend the day with so much of Dillon's family.
Dillon's Aunt Lisa also had a birthday that day and before they took off we were able to blow out candles together and have some yummy cake.
(our camera is a little slow, thus the awkward "after the candles have been blown out" pictures)
The rest of the day was spent hanging out with the family that didn't have to head home and watching conference. That evening the boys all headed out to the priesthood session of conference and us girls headed out to the movies. There wasn't a very big selection of movies that fit into our schedule when we needed them to so we decided on "Mirror, Mirror" with Julia Roberts. It was a cute movie that kept us laughing, but still a little cheesy and predictable :)
The movie and priesthood session got over within just a few mins of each other and the boys headed in to Idaho Falls to meet us for some yummy dinner at Cafe Rio. After dinner it was back to Dillon's parents house for some hot tubing, MORE cake and candles and presents.
We were all WAY too full for more food so they sang to me, I blew out the candles, then the cheesecake was put back into the fridge for the next day :)
Thank you Thank you THANK YOU to all of Dillon's family for all the birthday wishes and hugs and to his mom for the cakes and present! It was a great day, I am one lucky girl.

Sunday we got to spend all day in our PJ's listening to conference and eating way too much food. I definitely thought that conference was extra amazing this time around. Maybe it was just because I actually stayed awake for ALL 4 sessions for once :) I don't know. But I felt like so many talks were written just for me just at the time that I needed them, I love it!

Basically it was just an amazing weekend and birthday spent with amazing family!
