Allyx & Dan's WEDDING

So I am FINALLY posting about my sister’s wedding! It was absolutely perfect! Allyx was gorgeous and Dan was beaming. The only glitch in the whole day was when temple workers took Dan and Allyx to different locations after the sealing to wait for each other…it was a little while before they figured it out! Funny! I am so happy for both of them. I’ve always loved Dan but seeing the way he looked at Allyx all day truly assured me that he is the one for her…he is her Edward! I loved being in the temple that day. The Spirit felt during this sacred ordinance is so amazing and I love being reminded of the wonderful day Brian and I knelt across from each other. I was a bawl-baby as I watched my little sister take this important step in her life. I love her so much and even though I am 6 years older than her, I am so grateful for her example to me and for her love and all the silliness!

Kaitlyn went running when she saw her Aunt Allyx and new Uncle Dan. She loves them...and the spotlight!
Sisters!
The boys thought it was fun to throw Kaitlyn around, Kaitlyn had fun too. (Sorry to my Nonie, she was so freaked out by it!)
Best cousins! Me and Kallie

Twinner Cousins

So I have been a HORRIBLE blogger lately. With the new baby, the wedding, and my whole family being here I was a little busy. Once that was over, I was busy getting life back to normal. So there are my reasons for the blogging-lapse! I’m going to post pictures from Allyx’s wedding once I get them (I’m a dork and forgot my camera) so for now I thought I would share some cute pictures of Kaitlyn and her new cousin Camryn!

Camryn is dressed so stinkin cute everyday! I was perusing Dane and Tam’s blog when I came across the picture below. Cam is wearing the same outfit I used to put Kaitlyn in all the time. They both are so cute, I love it! I can’t wait for these two to grow up a little and be best buddies!

A Perfect Day

Friday Brian and I spent the day doing one of our favorite activities…SNOWBOARDING! We don’t get to go together very often anymore so this was quite a treat. We boarded up at Brighton and it was a beautiful day! I love spring skiing because I’m not a huge fan of being cold. Brian is a great sport, I’m not even close to the boarder that he is but he is very patient with me and is a great teacher. It was our last time this season as Brighton, and most other resorts, are closing. So, although I am soooo ready for summer, it’s always a little sad on the last run!

I had to get a picture of my new boots that I LOVE! These are my new 32s. I actually got them about 2 Christmas’ ago but soon after I found out I was pregnant with Kaitlyn and then I had a newborn last winter so this season I finally got to use them, yay!

On my butt….I spent a lot of the day there…

Tiger Tenney

Kaitlyn has joined the Oborn family tradition and has taken up golfing. She can already drive 300 yards and rarely ever hits into the sand. She'll be joining the Toddler PGA tour this fall. Her mom once had dreams of her being a dancer and her dad had dreams of her becoming a professional snowboarder. But Kaitlyn decided to follow her own dreams and stood firm with putter in hand. She'll be available for autographs and pictures this weekend at the Tenney home.

Camryn is Here!!!

Today we were blessed with a wonderful addition to our family. My little brother Dane and his sweet wife Tamara gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl. Camryn Elizabeth Oborn was born 7 lbs 12 oz and is 19 inches long. Poor Tamara is quite the trooper. After being sent home TWICE from the hospital (even though she was having unbearable contractions) she was finally admitted but then her epidural wore off about 2 hours after she got it and never kicked back in no matter how much stuff they shot into her. She is truly a hero! So she is a little tired…actually A LOT tired, but she is hanging in there and her and Dane are just so happy to have their sweet daughter Camryn here with them.

We got to go to the hospital and spend time with them today and it was amazing. She is so little! For the first time I realized just how big Kaitlyn has gotten! We just love Camryn and Kaitlyn just wanted to touch her and kiss her the whole time. She also wanted to be held by whoever was holding Camryn at the time!

Proud parents!
Favorite Aunt
so tired...

Weekend Getaway

We decided we were in desperate need of some sun and fun, so we took off this past weekend with some friends down to St. George. It was such a blast. This was a very big step for me, we left Kaitlyn with Brian’s parents for three nights! I missed her but I did it! Yay me! We stayed at Mike’s Grandma’s condo – thanks grandma! The boys played a lot of golf and we girls did some shopping and laying out (I got fried, stupid me). The majority of our time was probably spent playing Scum. If any of you have ever played games with Brian you know that he doesn’t do well with the whole loosing thing, so Brian wouldn’t let us stop playing till he spent a good amount of time as President! It was good to get away and we had so much fun!

Brian – Erin – Heidi – Justin – Mike - Mindi

We went to dinner at the Pizza Factory. While we waited to be sat we walked around and found some fun places to take pictures. Heidi’s camera has some fun features so we went a little crazy!




SCUM!



Lunch at Famous Dave’s before we headed back towards the snow. :(
