The reception.

By the end of the night you could tell Josh was done. Dave smiled at him and gave him a high five as he walked passed. That put a smile on Josh's face for a bit.
Josh caught it!

Gorgeous Heidi telling Maria and I we couldn't catch the weddingbokay if we where taking pictures.
Heidi and Dave cutting the cake after a very long day.

Here is there gorgeous square wedding cake. The entire cake was real!

I love this picture! Everyone was lighting there sparklers off of Josh's. How adorable!

There was so much to eat! It was all cake! So delicious!

The delicious slush type stuff... yeah... Apparently it tasted like a mint plant?

Ha! Yes! I got a picture of Samuel!

Josh leaned his head all the way back to put the cherry in his mouth. It was funny.

Heidi and David visiting with people... You can see how much David pays attention.

Monz jersey for Dave.

Quick relax! There's a break!

Lunch In.

The lunch in was amazing! The tables where so gorgeous! Our neighbor, and home teacher, catered for the lunch in. The did such a great job!

The food was delicious! There was a salad, then -above- is the main course (Delicious chicken!), and for desert was delicious cake!

David and Heidi where not the first in line. But they did but in.

Above is David and Heidi listening to people congratulate them, and give advice.


Mom sat at a table for part of the time, with her sister Sheila, and Sheilas husband Bill. Along with my Grandma (Her mother), and Aunt Mary.

This was the table to be at. With Genevieve Mike and Josh. Jake and Jen. And Hyrum, Peter and Mara. A table with Genevieve and Jake is funny enough. But add all those other people and you've got a party!

This is the table Samuel and I sat at. Anthony and Missy with their four adorable children. I sat next to Parker, haha that boy is a bundle of joy. He's so funny!

Even though Zoë thinks she loves Uncle Sam more then she loves me, I still love her. She's such a cutie. She was showing "Uncle Sam" how much smaller she is then him. Here's her hand, measured up to his.

The Temple.

Here is an idea of how reverent we are at the temple...

Sam was a bit upset that his mother (Missy) was leaving him. After he was put into Joshua's arms, and watched his 3 siblings run around a flower garden he started to cheer up.
Maria and I sat around outside with Anthony and Missy's kids for a bit before going into the waiting room.
After a while in the waiting room Zoë was done and decided she'd take me on a walk.
Of course, we found a bug. This time it was NOT a potato bug. It was a Lady Bug.
We all sat outside the doors waiting for David and Heidi to come out. Josh did something for Jacob, and his reward was a hard candy.
I think he enjoyed it...
Took a lot of concentration.
Mom seemed to enjoy the time she had to visit with her Aunt Mary. They talked, laughed, and smile a whole bunch. My Grandma, and Aunt Sheila came to visit. A lot of my moms family was there. I'm glad they could make it.

Dave&Heidi

David and Heidi got married July 11, 2009.
Heidi hugged every little girl that walked up to her, even if she didn't know them.

David walked out of the temple and had Heidi's hand in his for about 3 minutes, then everyone was all over Heidi. Don't worry Dave. We love you!!!

David is now married!!!

What an amazing couple. I'm excited to get to know Heidi more.

All pictures posted on the blog are taken by me, or my Father.

Amazing couple.

Hurry! Run away!

Doesn't get much cuter then Dave&Heidi.

They both have amazing smiles.

Kissing? Again?!

This is the first post.
These are all photos from the temple. Right after they where married.
It was such a beautiful wedding.
And so much fun.
We are all glad to have Heidi in our family.
She is adorable.
And we are so glad that David found someone he loves and wants to be with forever.
They are great together.
At the reception I heard so many times that;
"They are just so perfect!" "There is a special spirit with the two of them." "There is nothing wrong with that couple."
It's all true.
Congratulations David and Heidi!
We love you!

Slip-n-Slide!!!

Our "Joint Activity" was planned by my group, the mia-maids. There's only two of us. I voted we go dirk biking of horse back riding. But my leader disagreed. We ended up doing a water party. Slip-N-Slide at Rock Canyon Bowl. It was more fun then I thought it would be!
Mara went down the slide a lot. She was in the group of the first people to go down. Looks like she had a blast!
Here's Mara and two of our neighbors. The went down in a train together.
The young women president, far left, said that she'd go down if I went down. I convinced my little sister Maria, and a new 'neighbor' Cami, to come with. We all went down in a train, and splashed right into a mud puddle. It was a blast!!
Here's Mara going down with some beehives. Woo!!
Maria and I didn't really want to go down at first. We spent the first while sitting and talking, along with my friend Jared Jr. We had quite a few good laughs.
I think that over all Wednesday Night was so much fun!

There was a group of people ice blocking that ended up coming over and joining our mutual group. They came and got wet and muddy in their clothes!

I saw a friend from my Seminary class. I talked with him for about 10-15 minute about life. And asked him what he was doing at Rock Canyon. He said his friend just got his mission call yesterday (Wednesday) and that to celebrate he invited all his friends and family to go ice blocking.
I thought that was a pretty fun idea! Beside the fact that it's 'illegal'...

B.I.A.B.D.?

I believe it's B.I.A.B.D.
On Monday I went to work. It was an iffy day. Everything was going great, until I realized we where having a little too much fun and an hour flew by so fast! The girls where late for Choir. I helped to get their shoes on and rush them out their house.

I was then at the house with a very clingy but adorable little boy, about a year old. And his older brother, who is 5.

The older boy had been eating a ring pop and when he finished he set it on the ground. I rolled my eyes and said, "Oh Henry! That's not where trash goes." I picked it up and took it to the kitchen trash.

When I came back he asked if we could play outside. Of course, I said yes. I looked around the room for my peek (My 'Phone'). I didn't see it anywhere. When I'm with the kids I always make sure I have it just in case of an emergency and I need to contact someone really fast and there's no other way.

Panic set in, for some reason...hahah. I looked everywhere! Through all the toys, the bed, rocking chair, drawers. I could not figure out where they went! I walked into the kitchen to get the phone and call my dad. I told him that I "seemed to of miss placed my peek", and asked if he would text me. Of course, after a moment of laughter he said yes.

I continued to look around, I let the kids play in the backyard and went to look in the nearby rooms, thinking maybe they'd of picked it up and taken it some place else.
2 of the near by rooms where the girls room and the bathroom. Not being successful in the girls room, I checked on the boys, then continued to the bathroom. I looked in the tub, on the counter, and even in the toilet!
I was getting so frustrated, and was on the verge of tears (Ridiculous I know!). I just didn't know what to do.

I walked into the backyard and sat on the ground with the boys. Out of habit, whenever I sit down, I pull my peek out of my back pocket. So, that's what I did. I pulled it out, and set it right next to me. I continued to play with the boys for a moment. When I realized,

MY PEEK WAS IN MY BACK POCKET THE ENTIRE TIME!!!

I was sooo frustrated! I couldn't help but laugh. I told everyone texting me that morning to not text me, 'cause I'd be working until noon. When I got my dads text I thought I was just halucinating. I didn't remember picking up my peek when I left the room to throw away the ringpop.

When I texted my dad back letting him know I had found it... In my back pocket. He replied saying: "Like I've said to others. Blonde is as blonde does. Or in other words- Blonde is a state of mind! Love you Leah!!!"

Reminds me of last Thursday. I was at my dads work. One of his coworkers was talking with me and Joshua. This is how the conversation went;

Coworker: So how many are younger then you Leah?
Leah: mmm... 5.
Coworker: Oh how fun. How about you?
Joshua: 3 younger.
Leah: Oh. Then only 4.
Blonde Is As Blonde Does.

Shopping Fun.

Genevieve invited Me, and Maria to go shopping with herself, and her boy Josh. We ended up searching through both the University Mall, and Provo Town Center for a single dress.
I picked up a map for Josh to use, not thinking he really would use it. But he did. He continually checked the map to see where we are on it. He could almost always tell by looking to see where the pay phone we used, was on the map.

No shopping trip is complete without getting a picture of yourself with sunglasses on! How precious!

We walked through so many stores. For some reason my legs where really tired. I found a random chair and sat on it. I sat and texted for just a moment while Genevieve, Josh, and Maria looked around for a dress. I looked up and around, and saw the tag on the dress closest to me. It says "I AM WASHABLE!" I then shouted "No way me too!" I insisted I get a picture with it.

We almost all had matching glasses on. Josh's where the only ones that where kind of different. His had stars on the side. I handed him the red ones. But he asked his mother if he could switch the red for her white ones.

Maria took the picture of us above, but couldn't fit herself in it, so I took her individual picture.
While we walked through this one particular store, we passed by this super cute dress. Genevieve said "Oh my gosh! This looks just like you Leah!" I replied with "Really? It looks like a dress to me!" Obviously you can tell I was SO tired and ready to go home.
