Lana & Tyson's wedding banners

Lana and Tyson were married on June 6, 2008 with the reception on June 7. It was a beautiful wedding in the Las Vegas Temple, late in the afternoon so that Lana could have the morning to get ready. The Mehlhoff's had a wonderful dinner afterwards that evening. We could not have asked for better weather for the reception - a great temperature and no wind. Marilyn Bennett made the yard look so festive. (I will post pictures later.) And I huge thank you to my boys and their wifes for helping put everything together! We simply could not have done it without each one of them. I adore them all! They are delightful people who I just love! (And they ae so good to Chad and I.)

Since we knew it would be hot on the wedding day, Lana and Tyson opted for later afternoon/evening photo session at the temple. I am so fortunate to work with such wonderful people like Candace Simpson and Matt & Krystaly Koch who photographed with me. Doing the pictures early meant we were able to have 'banners' hung at the reception of the temple.

Banners (nearly 40!) were hung all around the yard. They were 2'x3' pictures of Lana and Tyson. Lana and I did several photo shoots beforehand (even in the snow in UT) in her dress. Her aunt RaeLene Kennedy made her dress, without a pattern, from drawings that Lana sketched for her. She did a fabulous job!

Chad and I are at the beach - recuperating! After I finish editing the wedding pictures, I will post some favorites.

Fun for Brett & Bree

Keeping you posted!

Today, May 17, 2008, Kenny participated in the graduation ceremony at UNLV even though he finished back in December. We were on our cruise then so he was unable to walk. He graduated with an accounting degree - magna cum laude. (Did I get that right Kenny?) That means he is dang smart!

He has been sick lately but I was glad he was able to attend. We wil be looking ahead to Trent's graduation but I wonder if they have a ceremony from the University of Phoenix.

Tyson just finished CSN and baseball. He is a free man (until June 6th). Come September he will start UNLV and baseball again.

Here are some pictures of Bree - just starting to show!

Who has a bigger tummy?

No pictures yet - but Sesily ran her frist 5K marathon (12 miles) It was in Ogden. She was hoping to run it in 2 hours. She finished in 1 hr and 48 minutes! Way to go! Congratulations to her for accomplishing her goal. I just admire anyone who even likes to exercize!

Can't send any pictures of Lana - you'll see more than you ever want to see at the reception. I have ordered 30 banners to be hung in the yard! Probably too many but we think we did good narrowing it from the 8000 pictures (two different photo shoots) to chose from!

Bennett at 7 weeks

His face is just so cute!





Look at the curl when his hair is wet!


And this, well, it just makes me laugh!

Just couldn't resist

The kids had just come over for a few hours while Sesily went for a run. I looked out the den window and saw the lighting was just perfect. Ella and Cohen we both up for a photo shoot. Cohen even asks now for his picture to ba taken. He tells me where he wants to sit!

I loved that Ella had her blankie in tow. She simply 'jabbers' no stop. We have no idea what she is saying but she must enjoy it. She know was the doggies says and the kittie, a cow and a frog! She also know how to say 'NO'!

And isn't this just the cutest of them.

Now, here are a few favorites of Bennett and Megan...

Does it look like they are laughing together - like she just told him a joke!

Aren't they just beautiful! We love these babies, kids and their spouses!

Here was our latest fun...more bridal shoots with Lana. This time we went to the dry lake and the Old Clark County Muesum where they have olden day cars, houses, trains, barns. It was the greatest. I believe we took over 3000 images. Bad thing is now I have to hours of editing!!!

Here are just two images - can't show the dress as Tyson hasn't seen it. But check out the 50's hat RaeLene made. It was awesome for the muesum. She is so talented!
