Thanks, and happy mothers day!!

Alright...so I think I need to give a little background on why I have a zillion pictures of me posted today. Apparently Kyler has been working on this Mother's Day tribute/ post all week, and decided to surprise me with it tonight. Well, needless to say I WAS surprised when I turned on my blog and saw it. I must say, I have the GREATEST kid in the world, but Kyler Dee...I'll make you a deal. I'll promise to post tons more pictures of Y-O-U if you promise to STOP posting pictures of me! No one needs to get this much Tami overload in one night! I love you kiddo! Thanks for being the greatest and most thoughtful kid I know.

A Wedding Event

Last week I was treated to not only a vacation, but also my little sisters wedding! The kids and I were able to fly out to Utah for Allyn's and Jillee's nuptials, and also spend an entire week with my family before heading home to Michigan. It was the first time I've been back to Utah that I didn't feel like I was traveling "home". I think it's finally sinking in that Michigan is now that word for me, and although I cherished all the time I had with my family, it was also good to be back with Kevin in the mid-west. I still miss seeing the snow-capped mountains (they were breathtaking as I drove through the canyon), but the beauty of Lake Michigan is a strong rival.

Kevin had to stay behind due to work, and in doing so he missed Kyler's 11th birthday, Allyn & Jillee's wedding, our 12th wedding anniversary, and Easter. Talk about a lot of events in a small span of time. We tried to make up for it, a least a little bit, once we landed in Chicago. We were able to spend a day at Brookfield Zoo before driving back around the Lake Michigan bend on our way home.

Wedding festivities began the afternoon before the big day for a "girls-only" bridal shower luncheon. This is a picture of me and my littlest sister, Kelcee

Jordan & Grandpa spent the morning of the wedding working out with the wii while my mom and I tried to decorate and prepare the wedding venue.

The whole gang (minus Kevin who I should go ahead and photo-shop in!)
He was there in spirit, but we all missed having him there in person.

A proud grandpa & grandma

I think he must be the cutest ring bearer on record!
He did a great job walking down those stairs, smiling at everyone as he walked by, and then planting himself between Allyn and the Bishop.

After I got his attention long enough to come sit down by me, the poor kid was tuckered out and instantly fell asleep! He snored through the rest of the ceremony.
