20/20

Happy birthday to my sister Kelsey.  We are both 20 now.  Yay!  We haven't always been the best of friends (you'll notice there's probably a 15 year gap in the pictures during the "she stole my clothes" stage.  But we are friends now.  We're really excited for her to get married in June and move to Provo!






Meet the Pres.

My dad has pretty sweet job as the public relations manager for Children's Miracle Network (a non-profit organization--don't ask me what that means--that raises money for children's hospitals). Among the many perks are frequent flyer miles, Marriott points, Disney passes (and therefore the ability to take the entire family to Orlando last week-except me, but I'm not jealous), and of course meeting lots of famous people.  This time it's President Obama.  To his left is Miss America 2009.
Each year a child from each state is selected who has spent lots of time in one of their hospitals and has overcome challenges to go meet the President at the White House and also attend a celebration in Orlando.  They get to go to concerts, and Disney World, and all kinds of special events.  Here's all the kids at the White House.  I guess President Obama let them all play on his daughters' new swingset.  I understand there were no "special olympics" comments made at this time.

Weddings!

We have been to so many weddings lately! We had three last weekend and I thought they were all on Saturday. So I read all the invitations and tried to figure out how we could make it to two of the ceremonies and all three receptions. But I only looked at the times because I knew they were on Saturday. It turns out they were on Friday, Saturday, and Tuesday. So my careful planning was for nothing, but it all worked out.


First was Ben and Brooke's and they're the only couple we snagged a picture of.


Then it was Fronk and Sami's. They had a chocolate fountain and Easton got to eat a marshmallow which he LOVED.



The last one was Nina and Dave's. It was up in Sandy so afterwards we went to my parents house and got Easton ready for bed. Kennedi and Collette read him his books.
