Quick Boise Trip

Our little family met up with...



...my ENTIRE family to celebrate the union of...


...Kelly and Becca!!

This is the first time since Missy's marriage...this is Missy:


*heehee*

...that the whole family has been together! We were all very excited!


Becca, Kelly, and Arika looked so happy and beautiful!

The reception was held at a friend of Becca's...she has a very gorgeous...large...house that was perfect for the occasion.




We were inside the house a lot...it was very hot outside.

The reception was very nice.

Toasts were made...




(...and while people were toasting...



...Porter learned how to take apart, and put back together the champagne glasses.)
And, pictures were taken...


...or were attempted to be taken...




We finally got to meet Rob's and Wendy's new addition, Kaysha, while we were there...



...who looks like she belongs to me. :)

And, I was surprised to find that my sister, Jo, and I were wearing the same dress!



*I bought it first...just wanted to make that clear ;)*

Joanna is actually shorter than me, and I was wearing heels that day...so we had to improvise our situation a bit for the picture:



*Yes, I know how white I am...thank you for not pointing it out haha*

Jo also brought her boyfriend...(yes, boyfriend...she actually calls him that...those of you who are family will understand)



Joanna and Kory...I wouldn't be surprised if the next family reception I go to is theirs :)

After helping clean up a bit, we prepared to leave and go to Missy's place for the night. Porter was exhausted because he hadn't taken a nap that day and after travelling...not sleeping in his own bed...anyway, he was cranky. But, I couldn't leave without a picture of me and Becca!



She moved to Houston after this last weekend was over and who knows when we'll see eachother next...
When we got back in the car, Porter crashed. He fell asleep right after he was buckled and didn't wake up again until the next day when we went to church...at 8:30 am...
After church...
We went to the Martin's (Kelly's parent's place) for a family luncheon.


Porter was still tired, I think...



Isaac had fun throwing bark...



Where did he go?



Porter was very shy...or clingy...whatever you want to call it...most of the trip..I'm sure it was because he was so tired, but Gammie had to try a little bribery to get him to come to her...



It worked!



My mom is so cute.

My dad is so weird...



My brother-in-law is kinda creepy...

My husband is so good-looking...


And, my sister is a cutie, too!


I love my family and all their craziness.
Porter cheered up before we left, and decided he needed to tell me something...







What a cutie!!
Oh, and PS:

I got a haircut while I was there :)
Quite the weekend!!

You guys are having such a fun summer. I don't know what you're talking about, you look so good too, and thank you for your compliments. Porter is so cute, and I don't think I have seen Seth's goatie so thick, and hair line so far back. :D (jk) love ya Seth! You guys all look so good.
